Appliance Repair in Commerce, GA
A Commerce repair lands at $364 with a part fitted, and $304 across all paid visits. That comes from 155 jobs at Commerce addresses in 127 households since January 2023, 104 of them paid and 68 finished with a component replaced.
Two things make this town unusual in our records, and both are useful before you call. Our Commerce quotes are the tightest in the state — the middle half of every repair sits inside a $97 window. And it is one of only three Georgia towns where we can honestly name a busy season.

The Tightest Repair Band in Georgia
| Measure, part-fitted repairs | Commerce | Across our whole book |
|---|---|---|
| Median | $364 | $364 |
| Middle half | $310 to $407 | $295 to $450 |
| Width of that band | $97 | $155 |
| Nine in ten under | $480 | $594 |
| Repairs at $600 or more | 5 of 68, 7.4 percent | 9.7 percent |
The median itself is unremarkable — $364, exactly our company figure. The interesting part is the spread around it, because that is what decides whether a quote over the phone means anything. In a town with a wide band the honest answer is that we will know when we see it. Here we can put you inside a hundred-dollar window on most jobs before anyone drives out.
Two repairs out of 68 have crossed $1,000: a Viking main board assembly at $1,705 and a compressor replacement at $1,300. Both are the classes that do that everywhere — premium built-in electronics and refrigerator sealed systems. Company-wide the compressor is the only component whose upper quarter reaches four figures, $1,200 on a $580 median across 166 replacements. Outside those two classes, nothing in this town has ever gone above $890.
What Appliance Repair Costs in Commerce
| Appliance | Median with a part | Middle half | Parts fitted (n) | Whose figure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $372 | $315 to $407 | 14 | Commerce |
| Washer | $367 | $329 to $380 | 10 | Commerce |
| Dryer | $348 | $295 to $406 | 5 local | 1,301-repair company base |
| Dishwasher | $330 | $274 to $400 | 4 local | 2,160-repair company base |
| Oven and range | $375 | $300 to $482 | 3 local | 1,858-repair company base |
| Freezer and ice maker | $375 and $425 | $295 to $492 | 3 local, none with a part | 444-repair company base |
Two local figures, and both are as tight as the city total: refrigerators $372 with half between $315 and $407, washers $367 with half between $329 and $380 — a $51 window on ten repairs. We publish a city figure at ten repairs of an appliance and no earlier, so the dryer at five, the dishwasher at four and the oven at three are quoted from the company book instead.
Across all 104 paid visits the median is $304, the bottom quarter closes at $99, the top quarter opens at $385 and the dearest tenth begins at $425 — again a low ceiling by our standards. Commercial accounts are excluded, and the one premium residential job that the filter first flagged as commercial, the Viking board, was checked by hand and kept in.
The One Town Where We Can Name a Season
On most city pages on this site we refuse to publish a busy month, because the years disagree and averaging them invents a curve none of them shows. Commerce is the exception, and it is not close.
| Year | Peak month | Jobs in May to August | Share of the year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | June | 24 of 39 | 62 percent |
| 2024 | July | 18 of 41 | 44 percent |
| 2025 | August | 21 of 56 | 38 percent |
| 2026, through August | June | 13 of 19 | part year |
Four years, four peaks, and every one of them falls between June and August. Pooled across the whole record, May to August accounts for 49.0 percent of our Commerce work against 38.5 percent company-wide. That is a real seasonal signal rather than a statistical accident, and it is the reason this page names one.
The likeliest driver is refrigeration under summer load, which is also our company-wide pattern: refrigerator volume peaks in July at 11.8 percent of the year, and freezers peak in June. A refrigerator or a chest freezer in an unconditioned garage or utility room in a north Georgia July is working against an ambient temperature it was never specified for, and that is when a marginal fan motor, defrost heater or compressor gives up.
What to do with that: if you keep a second refrigerator or a freezer out of the air conditioning, the useful month to check it is May, not July. Pull it out, clear the condenser coil at the back or underneath, give it clearance to breathe, and listen for a fan that has started to rattle. A rattling fan in May is a $426 part on our schedule and a spoiled freezer in July if it is left, so it is worth booking while slots are open rather than waiting for the failure.
Why Commerce Behaves This Way
Commerce sits in Jackson County, reaching into Banks, and it has had three names: Groaning Rock first, then Harmony Grove, and finally Commerce in 1904, when the town decided Harmony Grove was too long to write and too rural for a place that ran the north Georgia cotton trade. It was incorporated as a town on 24 December 1884 and holds 7,387 residents across 11.8 square miles, in 3,002 housing units.
Two postal areas, both ours, one price list 108 JOBS AND 47
Commerce mail splits across two postal areas, and we work both: 108 of our jobs sit in one and 47 in the other. The larger of the two covers 50.511 square miles with 12,033 residents and 4,904 housing units, with a median home value of $242,500 and household income of $62,168, and it reaches from Jackson County into Banks.
That is a large rural service area behind a small town, which is the first half of why the price band is tight: the housing is consistent, the appliance stock is mass-market, and the jobs are the standard failures rather than exotic access problems.
Nothing is added for distance between the two areas or across the county line. If your mail reads Commerce, the rate card on this page is yours.
Nothing exotic in the appliance stock, and that is the point 64 BRAND MENTIONS
Across the branded Commerce jobs the order runs GE 13, Samsung 11, Whirlpool 11, Maytag 9, Frigidaire 8, LG 5, then Kenmore and Amana at two each and one each of KitchenAid, Bosch and Viking.
That is the flattest mass-market profile in this part of the state, and it explains the narrow band better than anything else we can measure. Standard freestanding machines mean standard access, stocked parts and one or two hours of labor — which is exactly the recipe for a repair bill that lands between $310 and $407.
The single Viking job is the exception that proves it: premium built-in electronics, $1,705, and the only repair here to pass $1,400. As always the list counts how often we are called to a brand, not how good the brand is; that question is handled on most reliable appliance brands.
Volume climbing, band holding 39, 41 AND 56 JOBS
We have worked Commerce since 27 January 2023: 39 jobs that year, 41 in 2024, 56 in 2025 and 19 through August 2026, with 37 in the last twelve months.
The band has not widened as the count has grown, which is what gives us some confidence in it. A tight interquartile range on 68 repairs is worth quoting; the same range on a dozen would not be.
Two appliances have crossed our publishing line so far and the rest are close. As they do, this page picks up local figures for them rather than company ones.
37 of our 155 Commerce jobs fell in the last twelve months, across 127 households. Jackson County is a standing weekday route, and summer is our busy stretch here, so early booking in June and July is worth it. Book online or call (470) 777-7697.
Do We Cover Your Address?
Two postal codes carry Commerce mail, 30529 and 30530, and both are on the same route and the same price list. Between them they reach across Jackson County into Banks, and there is no travel surcharge anywhere inside them.
| What we serve | People | Housing units | Land area | Our jobs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The larger Commerce postal area | 12,033 | 4,904 | 50.511 sq mi | 108 |
| The second Commerce area | — | — | — | 47 |
| The city limits | 7,387 | 3,002 | 11.8 sq mi | a minority of the above |
Inside the city, water comes from the municipal system; out in the county a good share of properties are on private wells, and that changes which part fails on the two water-fed appliances. Groundwater deposits mineral on dishwasher spray arms, fill valves and ice maker tubing where treated water does not, so a well-fed dishwasher that drains slowly is more often a valve than a pump. Say which supply you have when you book.
Everything else is fixed: $99 to diagnose and it comes off the bill when you approve the repair, $150 if the machine is a stacked laundry pair or a double wall oven and has to be pulled out to be reached, and 90 days of cover on parts and labor once the work is done.
Around Commerce
Commerce is the far end of our Jackson County run, up where I-85 heads for the state line. The full list of Georgia towns is on our service area page, and the metro comparison for every figure here is what appliance repair costs in Atlanta. Down the interstate toward Winder sits Pendergrass, the other Jackson County town where the quote barely moves.
South-west down I-85 is Jefferson, the county seat, and past it Winder, where our shop is. South-east on US-441 is Athens in Clarke County. Further down the same corridor the Gwinnett towns of Buford, Suwanee and Dacula are on the same weekly run.
Already know the appliance? Each metro page carries the component pricing behind these bands: refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and ranges, cooktops and ice makers and freezers.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Refrigerator or garage freezer struggling in July — this is the seasonal one. Evaporator or condenser fan $426 company-wide, defrost heater $385, thermostat or sensor $370. A coil thick with dust in a hot garage turns a marginal part into a failed one. See refrigerator not cooling and frost building up in a freezer.
- Both fridge compartments warming, back of the cabinet hot, compressor never resting — the sealed system, one of the two classes here that has passed $1,000. Compressor $580 company-wide, upper quarter $1,200. See signs of a bad compressor.
- Washer refusing to spin out or knocking through the cycle — suspension $367 company-wide, drain pump $370, latch $354, belt $325. Locally the washer band is $329 to $380 across ten repairs, one of the tightest on this site. See washing machine out of balance.
- Dryer running twice for one load — heat side or air side: element $346 company-wide, thermostat $350, sensor $368, or a vent run that needs clearing rather than a part. A drum that will not turn is a $324 belt. See dryer not heating.
- Dishwasher standing full or stopping mid-cycle — drain pump $335 company-wide, circulation pump $381, inlet valve $330. On a well, add scale on the valve to the list. See a dishwasher that will not drain.
- Oven off the dial, or a gas burner that clicks and never lights — igniter $350 company-wide, sensor $345, thermostat $422, board $469. An oven thermometer at a set 350 tells us which before we arrive. See gas burner will not light.
- Ice maker silent while the dispenser still pours — the module at $470 company-wide, a frozen fill tube, or a filter overdue for changing. See ice maker not making ice.
Repair or Replace, on the Commerce Numbers
The tight band makes this the easiest call on our map. Nine in ten repairs here come in under $480 and half sit between $310 and $407, against a mid-market replacement that starts near $700 and runs past $1,600. On a machine that is otherwise sound there is no version of the arithmetic where replacing wins.
The two exceptions are the two four-figure classes: a refrigerator sealed system, and premium built-in electronics like that Viking board. On either of those you get the number before a part is ordered, and on a built-in the replacement cost usually still argues for repairing, because a new unit has to match a cabinet opening and often a custom panel.
The comparison itself is set out in the repair or replace guide, expected service life in how long refrigerators last, and every company figure quoted above in what appliance parts cost to fit.
Reductions on a Commerce Invoice
What it means at these pricesWith half our local repairs between $310 and $407, thirty dollars is a little under a tenth of a typical bill, and a third of the $99 diagnostic if the visit ends there. One reduction per job and the larger one is applied. See the full rate card.
Priority Membership
$179 a year, and in a summer-peak town the priority slot is the point
- Five diagnostic visits included each year, $495 of cover at the standard rate
- Front of the queue, 24 to 48 hours, which matters most in June and July
- $30 off the labor line on every repair on top of the reductions above
- Longer warranty on Bozmanfix work than the standard 90 days

Appliance Repair in Commerce — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in Commerce, GA?
Two numbers cover it. Across all paid visits the median is $304; across the visits where a component was actually replaced it is $364, and both include the part, the labor and the service call together. The base is 104 paid jobs, 68 of them with a part fitted.
Half of those 68 repairs sit between $310 and $407, and nine in ten came in under $480. By appliance we publish two local figures, $372 on refrigerators across 14 repairs and $367 on washers across 10; dryers, dishwashers, ovens, freezers and ice makers are quoted from the company book at $348, $330, $375, $375 and $425.
Why can you quote Commerce more precisely than other towns?
Because the spread here is genuinely narrower. The middle half of our part-fitted repairs spans $97, from $310 to $407, against $155 across our whole book. Measured over the 64 Georgia towns where we have fifty or more part-fitted repairs, that is the tightest band of the lot.
The reason looks like the appliance stock: mainstream freestanding machines, standard access, stocked parts. Only two repairs out of 68 have passed $1,000 here, and both were the classes that do it everywhere — a premium built-in control board and a refrigerator compressor.
Is there really a busy season in Commerce?
Yes, and this is one of only three Georgia towns where our own record supports saying so. The peak month was June in 2023, July in 2024, August in 2025 and June again in 2026 — four years, four peaks, all of them between June and August. Pooled across the record, May to August is 49.0 percent of our Commerce work against 38.5 percent company-wide.
The likeliest driver is refrigeration under summer load, which matches our company-wide pattern of refrigerator volume peaking in July and freezers in June. On most city pages we publish no season at all, because the years disagree; here they do not.
What can I do before summer to avoid the call?
If you keep a second refrigerator or a chest freezer in a garage or an unconditioned utility room, May is the month to look at it. Vacuum the condenser coil at the back or underneath, give the unit clearance to breathe, and listen for a fan that has started to rattle.
Those checks address the exact failure pattern we see here in July. If you would rather we did it, a booked visit in May puts a technician on the coil, the fan and the door seal at once, and anything found then is a scheduled repair rather than an emergency in the heat.
If the cabinet is already running warm, or the compressor never switches off, it is past that stage: book it now, because June and July are our busiest weeks in this town and the slots go first.
Do you cover both Commerce postcodes and the Banks County side?
Both, on the same route and the same rate card. Our jobs split 108 in one postal area and 47 in the other, and the larger of the two covers 50.511 square miles with 12,033 residents and 4,904 housing units, reaching from Jackson County into Banks.
The city itself is 7,387 residents in 11.8 square miles, so most of what we visit is county ground rather than town. No travel surcharge applies anywhere in it.
I am on well water. Does that change the repair?
On the dishwasher and the ice maker it does. Groundwater leaves mineral on fill valves, spray arms and ice maker tubing that treated municipal water does not, so the part that fails is often different: a slow-draining dishwasher on a well is more likely a valve than a pump.
Mention your supply when you book. It decides which parts go on the van, which is the difference between finishing on the first visit and coming back.
How expensive has a Commerce repair ever been?
The two highest are a Viking main board assembly at $1,705 and a compressor replacement at $1,300. Below those, five repairs reached $600 and nothing else has passed $890.
Both of the four-figure jobs are the predictable classes: premium built-in electronics and a refrigerator sealed system. On either one you get the figure before a part is ordered, with the $99 diagnostic credited against it.
What have you actually repaired in Commerce?
155 jobs across 127 households since 27 January 2023, 104 of them paid and 68 with a part fitted. By appliance: refrigerators 28, washers 24, dryers 11, dishwashers 10, ovens and ranges 5, freezers and ice makers 3.
Across the branded jobs the order is GE 13, Samsung 11, Whirlpool 11, Maytag 9, Frigidaire 8 and LG 5, with one Viking as the only premium badge. Volume has grown from 39 jobs in 2023 to 56 in 2025, with 37 in the last twelve months.
