DID YOU KNOW?: 🤔

CANADIAN BILL C-267, officially named the National Framework on the Durability of Electronic Products and Essential Home Appliances Act, is a private member’s bill that proposes a federal plan to make electronics and home appliances last longer and become easier to repair.
* Core Goals of the Bill
• Fight premature obsolescence: Reduce the financial burden on households forced to replace short-lived appliances.
• Promote right-to-repair: Encourage access to affordable parts, tools, and technical documentation.
• Reduce electronic waste: Lower the volume of discarded household devices ending up in landfills.
* Current Status
• Passed Second Reading: The House of Commons agreed to pass the bill to committee stage on June 17, 2026.

THE SOONER THIS IS FULLY IMPLEMENTED, THE BETTER. QUEBEC HAS A SIMILAR BILL ALREADY IN PLACE SINCE 2023 (BILL 29).

TONY'S TIPS:
QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CONSIDERING APPLIANCE REPAIR VS REPLACEMENT:
-As per Tony, our senior technician with 39 years experience in appliance repair.

1) Do you like your appliance & the way it functions?
Older appliances are typically a simpler design & easier to use. Newer appliances can get more complicated with extra mechanisms = more to malfunction.
Modern day appliances take far more time to complete functions than the older models. Why? -Newer models are built with higher energy & water restrictions making motors smaller with lighter components, regulated by sensors & computer boards. Smaller motors running longer are worn-out sooner & computer components are not so tolerant to hot, cold or damp conditions that appliances provide.

2) What will it cost to repair?
Many appliances at the landfill haven't even been diagnosed. Tony estimates that 80% of the time, the repair cost is much less than the customer anticipated.

3) Are parts still available for repair?
Eventually, manufacturers discontinue production of parts for older models. At that point we would search for available alternatives to keep those good old machines going.
