How do brand & quality tier change the parts cost?
Brand and tier adjust the parts portion only — never labour. Value brands such as Beko, Indesit, Hoover and Candy have the cheapest, most widely stocked parts; premium and luxury lines (AEG, Bosch, Siemens, Miele) carry pricier, often OEM-restricted components. Pick a tier in the calculator for a class-typical estimate, or a specific Irish brand to override it.

Is it worth repairing a cooktop?
If the repair quote exceeds roughly half the price of a comparable new cooktop — or the unit is well past its typical service life — replacement is often the better value. Localize the repair range above first, then compare.
