By national ratios Boston supports about 90 full-time appliance repair technician pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. That is larger than most United States cities we cover. Only 35 % of homes are owner-occupied: landlords, building managers and housing associations place much of the work, often as recurring contracts. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
