(And Avoid Repair Costs Most People Don’t See Coming)

You’ve finally got your dream appliances—shiny, powerful, and ready to make life easier.

But here’s what most people don’t realize:
How you use and maintain your appliances can add or subtract YEARS from their life.

At Emcor, we don’t just help you buy smart—we help you get the most out of your investment. Follow these tips to avoid early breakdowns, costly repairs, and that dreaded “uh-oh” moment when an appliance suddenly dies.

1. Refrigerator Tips: Keep It Cold (and Efficient)

✅ Clean the coils every 3–6 months
✅ Don’t overload it—it blocks airflow
✅ Keep it 2–3 inches from the wall for ventilation
✅ Defrost manually if it’s not frost-free

🚫 Common mistake: Placing hot food directly in the fridge—it makes the compressor work harder.

💡 Inverter fridges run more efficiently but still need space to breathe.

2. Air Conditioner Tips: Breathe Easy, Pay Less

✅ Clean or replace filters monthly
✅ Have it serviced before peak season (March–May)
✅ Keep windows and doors closed when in use
✅ Use timer or sleep mode to reduce runtime

🚫 Common mistake: Skipping filter cleaning = poor airflow + higher bills

🧼 Ask Emcor about installation and routine maintenance options to extend unit life.

3. Washing Machine Tips: Wash Like a Pro

✅ Leave the lid open after use to dry the drum
✅ Run a “tub clean” cycle monthly
✅ Use the right detergent (HE for front-load!)
✅ Don’t overload—it stresses the motor

🚫 Common mistake: Letting coins, buttons, or wires go into the drum = fast track to repairs

🔧 Emcor-approved models often include self-cleaning features—use them!

4. Smart TV Tips: Keep the View Crystal Clear

✅ Keep it dust-free with a microfiber cloth
✅ Avoid leaving it on pause/screensaver for hours
✅ Turn it off when not in use (not just standby)
✅ Update software for smoother streaming

🚫 Common mistake: Using cheap extension cords or power strips—protect your tech with surge protectors.

🎯 Pro tip: Emcor offers surge protectors + wall mounts to reduce physical damage risk.

5. General Appliance Care Tips

• Use a voltage regulator for sensitive units (TVs, fridges, etc.)
• Never ignore weird noises or smells—they’re early warning signs
• Read the manual (we know… but seriously)
• Register your warranty as soon as you buy!

💬 Most customers don’t know some brands require registration for full warranty coverage—Emcor can help with that.
