Hire an Appliance Repair Pro in Victoria, BC

A washer that won't drain, a dryer that runs but stays cold, a dishwasher that needs hooking up after a kitchen reno. Appliance problems tend to stop a household in its tracks, and booking a repair visit can mean a long wait for a service window. Jacks gives you another way to get it looked at.

What Jacks is

Jacks is Victoria's home services marketplace. Post what's wrong, set a budget, and local Jacks who work for themselves apply with their own rate. You choose who to hire. Posting and hiring cost nothing for homeowners.

Jobs that come up often

Washers that won't drain or spin
Dryers that don't heat, or a clogged dryer vent
Dishwasher installs and hookups
Fridge water lines, filters and worn door seals
Swapping a range, fridge or washer for a new one
Levelling a noisy or shaking machine

Put the make and model number in your post. It's on a sticker inside the door or on the back. Add the error code if there is one and a short video of the noise or problem. Applicants can tell from that whether they have the right parts and know-how before they quote.

How it works

Describe the problem, add the model number and a photo, set a budget.
Insured, reviewed Jacks apply with a rate and a note on how soon they can come.
You choose who to hire (or request a specific Jack from their profile) and pay through Jacks once the work's done.

Gas, wiring and refrigerant

Some appliance work needs a licensed trade. In BC, connecting or repairing a gas range, dryer or water heater is gas work, and a new circuit for a range or wall oven is electrical work. Both can need a permit. Repairs to a fridge's sealed cooling system need a certified technician. Jacks doesn't check licensing before someone can apply, so for any of these, ask directly about licensing before you hire. For a new circuit, an electrician in Victoria is the right post.

Why Victoria homeowners post here

Calling around about a broken appliance usually means waiting days for a service window. Posting once and letting applications come to you skips that. Every Jack submits proof of liability insurance during onboarding, and their reviews come from Victoria homeowners who hired them for real jobs.

Jacks who do appliance work take jobs across Greater Victoria: Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, and out to the Peninsula.

Questions people ask

Do I pay anything to post a job?
No, posting and hiring are free for homeowners no matter the size of the job.

Is it worth repairing an older appliance?
It depends on the appliance, its age and the part. Post the model number and the symptom, and a Jack can tell you whether it's a simple fix before you decide.

Can a Jack install my new appliance?
Yes, for most plug-in appliances and water hookups. Gas appliances and new circuits need a licensed gas fitter or electrician, so ask about licensing first.

How does payment actually happen?
Through Jacks, once the work is done. No e-transfers or cash needed.

What if my job gets no applications?
It costs nothing to try. Adjust the budget or add more detail and see if that changes things.
