Most CPAP and BiPAP machines store the error code in its memory and will display a general error message – service required or similar. In this case, we are unable to determine the cause without connecting the machine to the service software on our computer to read the internal error codes. CPAP repair costs depend on the model and problem. In general, we typically advise if you can repair your CPAP for less than 50% of the cost to buy a new CPAP machine, then it is worth repairing.

Here’s just a few more notes about the process:
- Once we receive your machine, we will evaluate it and determine the problem and associated cost to repair. We will email an estimate at that time for your review. If approved, we will email an invoice to you. There will be a link to make a secure payment. Once paid, we will complete the repair and return the machine to you.
- If your machine requires a more expensive repair than originally indicated, then you will receive a revised invoice with the additional amount due. You can either pay to approve the additional amount, or decline the repair. If declined, we will refund the original payment, less the return shipping cost.
- How long will it take? We maintain an inventory for most parts needed to complete the repair. Once your payment is received, the repair is typically completed within 3 business days. Please note that this can vary based on our current repair volume and part backorders. Once the repair is completed and the unit passes the certification testing, you will receive an email from us with the paid invoice detailing the work performed and the tracking number for the return shipment.

Confused? Here’s an example of how to determine your repair cost:
My CPAP machine is loud. I have a System One 560P with heated humidifier. According to the Reported Problem chart, this issue is in Tier 1. Then I reference the Model and Pricing chart. I look for my model on the left side (4th unit down), then I follow that line to the right until I reach the column titled Tier 1. My System One repair cost based on this information is approximately $225.
Still confused? No problem. Give us a call and we can help you figure it out.
