The part’s the same price on both sides of town.
A defrost heater costs what it costs no matter which house you’re standing in — the variable is the drive, and homeowners never see the drive, only the invoice. Bill hourly and a 45-minute fix on a rush ticket looks inflated; bill loose and you forget to account for the trip at all. A flat price per repair — diagnostic first, then the fix by part — means the dishwasher pump replacement costs the same whether it’s the next block over or forty minutes out.
Look for flat-rate pricing software built specifically for appliance repair and you mostly find tools built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical instead. ServiceTitan is one of the biggest — a sales demo, then roughly $245+ per tech monthly. Profit Rhino runs cheaper at $39–59 a tech monthly, but its Pro tier bolts on a separate $1,499 “Success Coaching & Implementation” package. Both are sized for a dispatcher managing a fleet, not one person carrying a bag of parts.

QuoteIron’s 50 appliance-repair templates don’t claim to know what a control-board swap is worth in your market. Each one carries a typical labor-hour range and a mid-grade parts cost as structure only — your rate and markup turn that into an actual price, one you set and can change any time.
The book, one row at a time.
This is what a flat-rate price book for appliance repair actually looks like — a row per repair, typical hours, what’s included, and a price. These nine come straight from the QuoteIron appliance-repair catalog.
These prices are examples. Every row below is priced at a sample rate of $95/hr labor + 30% materials markup, rounded to $5 — the book-builder’s defaults, not market rates. In the builder you set your own three numbers and every row reprices in one second. Some folks call it appliance repair flat rate pricing; others want a appliance repair price list template. Same thing — a book of firm prices, built off your own numbers, that you own outright.
| Job (what a book row looks like) | Typical hours | Parts (mid-grade) | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appliance diagnostic visitFull inspection and diagnosis of one appliance; repairs quoted separately. | 1 h | $5 | $105 |
| Refrigerator defrost heater replacementRemove evaporator cover, swap the failed defrost heater, and confirm the defrost cycle. | 1.5 h | $35 | $190 |
| Refrigerator evaporator fan motor replacementSwap the failed evaporator fan motor and confirm airflow to the fresh-food section. | 1.5 h | $45 | $205 |
| Refrigerator ice maker assembly replacementSwap the ice maker module, connect harness and fill line, and run a test cycle. | 1.25 h | $90 | $240 |
| Washer drain pump replacementReplace the drain pump, clear the trap, and confirm the tub empties fully. | 1.25 h | $40 | $175 |
| Dryer heating element replacementReplace the electric heating element and confirm the dryer reaches temperature. | 1.25 h | $45 | $180 |
| Oven bake element replacementReplace the lower bake element and confirm the oven heats to set temperature. | 1 h | $35 | $145 |
| Dishwasher circulation pump replacementReplace the wash circulation pump and confirm strong spray and a clean rinse. | 1.75 h | $70 | $260 |
| Garbage disposal replacement (1/2 HP)Remove the old unit, mount and wire a new 1/2 HP disposal, and test for leaks. | 1 h | $80 | $200 |
Templates carry structure — typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing; every number is editable in the builder and the app.
Three numbers.
Your whole book prices itself.
Pick the trade
Open the builder and tap Appliance Repair. You get the real repairs by part — refrigerator, washer, dryer, oven and range, dishwasher — plus the diagnostic visit and common installs, the tickets you run every day.
Set three numbers
Your labor rate, your materials markup, your rounding. The sample reprices in one second. The example rows here use $95/hr and 30% — swap in yours and watch every price change.
Print it or quote it
Print the sample as a paper book for the truck, or open the QuoteIron app to quote a live appliance repair in about 90 seconds — then turn the quote into an invoice with one tap.
Not your trade? Pick it.
Every trade below has its own flat-rate book in QuoteIron — real residential jobs, priced from your numbers. There’s also the multi-trade book builder and the main QuoteIron page.
Fair questions.
Can I edit every price?
Yes — every number. The 50 appliance repair templates carry structure only: typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing, and you can override any single row. QuoteIron never ships “market prices” it can’t stand behind.
Does it work offline?
The book-builder runs right in your browser. The full QuoteIron app installs to your phone’s home screen and works with no signal at all — back-of-house laundry rooms, basement utility corners. It’s an app that lives on your phone, not a website that dies with the bars.
What does it cost after the free sample?
The sample book is free, no signup. The full app — the whole 50-job book, editing, 90-second quoting, invoices, e-signatures, and follow-ups — is $14 a month flat, or $140 a year. Fourteen-day trial, no card up front, and you cancel online in one click.
Every brand is different — can one book cover it?
The labor is what your book prices, and a defrost-heater swap takes about the same time on any brand — that’s the row. The part cost is a line you set per job. So one book covers the trade, and you adjust the part number when the model calls for it.
Do I have to build the whole book myself before I can start quoting?
No. Choosing Appliance Repair during onboarding seeds your book with the full 50 appliance-repair templates already in it. Set your labor rate, materials markup, and rounding once, and every row prices itself — you add custom lines only for the jobs that don’t fit a template.
Does the book handle EPA refrigerant certification for fridge repairs?
No. Sealed-system refrigerant work on a fridge or freezer requires EPA Section 608 certification, same as it always has — that’s yours to hold. The book prices labor and parts structure for the repair; it doesn’t check your credentials.
Your book. Your prices.
Built in about a minute.
Start free — pick the trade, punch in three numbers, and watch the book price itself. No signup for the sample; the full 50-job book, editing, and 90-second quoting live in the $14/mo app.
