As seasons change, so do the needs of your home appliances. Seasonal changes can have a significant impact on the efficiency and longevity of your major appliances, such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, and HVAC systems. Preparing your appliances for seasonal shifts not only ensures their optimal performance but can also prevent costly repairs down the line. At Advanced Appliance Repair, we're committed to helping you keep your appliances running smoothly through every season. Here's a guide on how to prepare your major appliances for the upcoming season.
Refrigerators & Freezers
- Check the Seals: Ensure the seals on your refrigerator and freezer doors are tight and not leaking cool air. A weak seal forces the appliance to work harder, increasing energy consumption.
- Vacuum the Coils: Before the heating season begins, vacuum the condenser coils behind or beneath your refrigerator to ensure it runs efficiently.
- Adjust the Temperature: In colder months, you might need to adjust the temperature settings since the surrounding environment is cooler.
Washers & Dryers
- Inspect the Hoses: Check for cracks or leaks in your washing machine hoses and replace them if necessary to prevent water damage. Run a dry paper towel across your hose connectors and make sure there's no moisture seeping out. Check around your drain for any sign of water.
- Clean the Dryer Vents: Lint buildup in dryer vents can pose a fire hazard, especially as dryers might be used more frequently in colder months. Clean the vents thoroughly to ensure proper airflow. Or Schedule an appointment and have a pro do it for you.
HVAC Systems
- Replace Filters: Before the heating or cooling season begins, replace the filters in your HVAC system to improve efficiency and indoor air quality.
- Schedule a Tune-up: Have a professional service your HVAC system to ensure it's ready to handle the upcoming seasonal demands.
Dishwashers
- Clean the Filters: Ensure the dishwasher's filters are clean to prevent any decrease in performance due to changes in water temperature and usage patterns.
Stoves & Ovens
- Clean and Inspect: Before the holiday cooking season, give your stove and oven a thorough clean. Check that all elements and burners are functioning correctly.
General Tips
- Check for Drafts: Appliances near exterior walls can be affected by cold drafts. Check for drafts and seal any gaps to maintain consistent temperatures.
- Prepare for Vacations: If you plan to be away from home during a change of season, ensure all appliances are set appropriately to prevent energy waste or damage. Consider turning off the water supply to washing machines to prevent leaks.
Preparing your appliances for seasonal changes can save you money, extend the lifespan of your appliances, and ensure they're ready to handle whatever the weather brings.
