by | Jun 6, 2025 | News

Everything You Need (and Nothing You Don’t) for a Comfortable, Functional Home

Congrats! You’ve got the keys, the space, and the vision.
Now comes the fun—and slightly overwhelming—part: filling your home with appliances that make life easier.

At Emcor, we’ve helped thousands of Filipino homeowners outfit their homes with the right appliances at the right time—without overspending or overbuying.

Here’s your complete appliance checklist to get your new home running smoothly (with smart, budget-friendly tips built in).

The Essentials: Must-Haves for Every Home

Let’s start with the non-negotiables—the appliances you’ll use almost daily.

Appliance Why You Need It Emcor Tip
Refrigerator Keep food fresh, avoid waste Go inverter to save ₱2K–₱5K/year on electricity
Washing Machine Clean clothes efficiently Top-load is simpler, front-load is more efficient
Electric Fan or Aircon Survive PH heat Portable for starters, inverter aircon when budget allows
Rice Cooker A Filipino kitchen staple Choose one with auto warm & easy-clean inner pot
Smart TV Relax, stream, connect Wall-mount to save space + choose built-in apps

🎯 Buy these first. These are your “power 5” daily drivers.

Comfort & Convenience Boosters (Buy Next)

Once the basics are in, these upgrade your experience—big time.

  • Microwave oven – For fast heating and light cooking
  • Blender or food processor – For smoothies, sauces, or prepping family meals
  • Flat iron or garment steamer – For crisp workwear or uniforms
  • Water dispenser – Keeps drinking water cold, convenient, and clean
  • Shower heater – Because cold water at 6am is not a vibe

💡 Tip: Emcor has bundle deals—ask in-store or online if you’re buying multiple small appliances!

Optional but Awesome (When You’re Ready)

Have extra budget or moving into a bigger space? These make your home even better:

  • Air purifier – Great for allergies, asthma, or urban homes
  • Dishwasher – Time-saver for busy families
  • Vacuum cleaner – Especially useful in condos or homes with pets
  • Deep freezer or chiller – Bulk-buying groceries or running a home-based biz? Yes, please
  • Soundbar/home theater – For immersive movie nights at home

🎬 These aren’t urgent—but they make a noticeable difference in day-to-day comfort.
