The Importance of Seasonal Appliance Check-ups

Just like you adjust your lifestyle with the changing seasons, your home appliances also require some tweaking and checking. Whether it’s the soaring temperatures of summer or the chilling embrace of winter, seasonal variations can affect the efficiency and longevity of your appliances. Regular check-ups can prevent sudden breakdowns, save energy, and enhance the lifespan of these essential household tools. Here are some quick tips!

 

Refrigerator

Summer’s intense heat can strain refrigerators and air conditioning units. When these appliances work overtime to maintain desired temperatures, they can consume more electricity and wear out faster. A simple seasonal check-up is to ensure the area around and under the fridge is clean and nothing is leaking out of it. If you notice any leaks, it’s important to contact a professional right away.

Oven/Stove

Your oven/stove is a great asset for any household. To reduce the likelihood of a breakdown, make sure to perform routine maintenance at least once per season. For instance, you may not use one of the burners as often as the rest so you should test it. Furthermore, inspect for any damage you may not have noticed – especially on the door’s glass and seal.

Washer and Dryer

When’s the last time your dryer vent had all of the lint properly removed? How about the last time you cleaned your washing machine? The change of the seasons is a great reminder to keep up with these appliance maintenance tasks!
