MAINTENANCE

We can take care of your appliance maintenance concerns.

Manufactures recommend maintenance on most of their appliances, and for good reason. We encourage following the manufacturers recommendations, in order to keep your appliances running smoothly and efficiently.

Some maintenance, such as belts, rollers and idler pulleys, should be done every 5-7 years.  Other maintenance should be done at shorter 3, 6, or 12 month intervals, such as water/air filter replacement, and refrigerator condenser coil cleaning. Below is a brief summary of the most important maintenance suggestions.

Refrigerator / Fridge Maintenance

• Clean condenser coils every 6-12 months
• Change water filter every 6 months.

Washer Maintenance

• Change Belts at 5-7 years
• Replace fill hoses every 5 years
• Run bleach every week or two, too help keep mold growth down

Dryer Maintenance

• Change belts, rollers, pulleys, glides, and bearings at 5-7 years
• Clean lint from inside your dryer and dryer ducts once a year. This helps prevent dryer duct fires. A dryer lint fire can spread to a full blown house fire.

Range / Stove / Oven Maintenance

• Replace gas igniters at 5-7 years.
• Calibrate the temperature and/or replace temp sensor 5-7 years.
• Clean soot from gas burners – 5-7 years.

Furnaces Maintenance

• Replace air filter according to filter recommendations (usually 3-12 months)
• Replace Igniter every 2-3 years.
• Furnaces should be tuned up every year, and tested to insure there is not excessive Carbon Monoxide in the flu or ducts. This helps insure there is no CO getting into the house.
• CO detectors should be placed throughout the house, and they should always have good batteries installed.
