Outlook
Demand for appliance installers and repairers is expected to decline. New appliances don't need to be repaired as often as those built 20 years ago. In addition, some consumers prefer to buy new appliances instead of repairing their old ones. However, as consumers invest in more expensive appliances they may have them repaired instead of buying new ones when they break. Many appliances are also becoming more complex. Homeowners may find they must call a repairer instead of fixing it themselves.
Job openings will occur as current installers and repairers leave this career.
