Residents of the Federal Capital Territory are raising concerns over the shortage of reliable technicians, saying poor repairs are costing them time, money, and peace of mind.
From faulty fridges to stubborn washing machines, many complain that appliances break down again shortly after being “fixed.” Some say they’ve paid multiple times for the same repair—with little to show for it.
The blame? A mix of untrained technicians, substandard parts, and lack of regulation.
Now, residents are calling for change—pushing for proper training programmes, certification systems, and stronger oversight to weed out quacks. Suggestions include partnerships between area councils, technical schools, and private firms to train technicians in modern repairs like smart devices and inverter systems.
There are also calls for simple regulation—like registering technicians and tracking customer complaints—to improve accountability and service quality.
The message is clear: better skills, better standards, and smarter systems could fix more than just appliances.
