Customers often want to know the price of repairs in advance. A preliminary assessment is possible, but with reservations. Let's look at how to estimate the cost of repairs before diagnosis.
By what data can you estimate
- Power and type of engine - from the nameplate.
- Nature of the fault - by symptoms.
- Rpm and voltage.
Using these data, you can give an approximate range, but not an exact one price.
Why the exact price only after diagnosis
| Symptom | Possible causes (different prices) |
|---|---|
| The engine is humming | Phase loss (cheap) or burnt out winding (expensive) |
| Vibration | Bearings (cheap) or imbalance, rotor |
| Does not start | Capacitor or winding break |
The same symptom can mean breakdowns that differ in price by tens of times. Therefore, the exact cost is given only after diagnosis.
How to get a preliminary estimate
Tell the specialist the data from the nameplate (power, speed, type) and describe the symptoms - they will give you an approximate range. For large engines, it is more profitable to call a diagnostician to the site. Remember: a suspiciously accurate price “over the phone” often results in additional payments. An honest approach - a preliminary range, then an accurate estimate after inspection and repair.
