Appliance repair is fragmented and service-call driven; the underwriting question is whether calls, technicians, and parts access survive the seller transition.
Appliance repair acquisitions sit in a 2.0×–3.5× SDE band. Upper-band placement depends on technician retention, OEM authorization, warranty mix, and repeat referral channels.
The range is sourced to a named advisor benchmark. Owner-technician labor is the first normalization.
No public closed-deal table was located, so source confidence is lower than janitorial or auto repair.
Local technician availability and parts access matter more in a narrower category.
Growth supports demand, but OEM relationships and review channels still need assignment proof.
Appliance repair is high priority because it is a frequent searcher target and adjacent to HVAC and plumbing, but the public comp stack is thinner. The Q2 baseline labels that limitation rather than overstating confidence.
Future rolls should prioritize replacing the advisor-only rate with closed-deal evidence, even if that means using brokered local comps or paid valuation-report data with proper source labeling.
