Frequently asked questions

• Is GigoPro free to use?

  Yes. Browsing businesses, reading reviews, and comparing technicians is free for everyone. Business owners can create a basic listing at no cost.

• How do you verify appliance businesses on GigoPro?

  Every profile goes through moderation before it appears in search. We check that the business is real, actively operating, and actually performs the repairs it claims. For refrigerant work, we look for proper certification, and we automatically hide inactive listings.

• How do I choose the right technician?

  Start with ratings and recent reviews, then confirm the company services your appliance type and brand. Contact two or three providers, ask for written estimates, and compare what each quote includes — not just the bottom line.

• Can I list my business on GigoPro?

  Yes. Create a free business profile to reach local customers searching for your category. You can update services, brands covered, photos, and contact details anytime, and customers can book you directly from your profile.

• How often is the directory updated?

  Business owners update their own profiles. Our team also refreshes hub pages and removes inactive listings to keep search results current.

• Repair or replace, how do I decide?

  Ask each technician for both a repair quote and an honest assessment of the appliance's remaining life. As a general rule, if the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit, or the appliance is past its expected lifespan and keeps breaking down, replacement is usually the better value. Get two or three opinions before a decision this large.

• Do technicians use original (OEM) parts?

  Many do, and it is worth asking before you book. Original parts are built to the manufacturer's spec and usually carry the appliance's warranty, while aftermarket parts are cheaper but may vary in quality. A reputable technician will explain the difference and let you choose.

• Do you cover high-end brands like Sub-Zero, Wolf, or Miele?

  Yes: many technicians on GigoPro specialize in luxury and commercial brands and list that experience in their profiles. High-end units need specific parts and service procedures, so look for technicians who explicitly cover your brand.

• How much does appliance service cost?

  Costs vary by appliance type, brand, and region — there is no honest single number. Reputable technicians provide written estimates after diagnosing the problem, and comparing two or three is the best way to understand what your repair should cost. 

• Can I leave a review after booking through GigoPro?

  Yes. After your repair is done, you can rate the technician and describe your experience. Verified reviews from recent jobs help the next homeowners in your city choose well — and keep listed professionals at their best.
