4 Ways to Extend Your Refrigerator’s Lifespan

Uncategorized, , , , ,
The
average lifespan of a brand new refrigerator is roughly 15 years,
depending on the model, size, and upkeep. However, even the best
refrigerators on the market won’t live to see 10 if you don’t give
them a little bit of TLC every now and again.
Avoid a
trip to the appliance store and extend the lifespan of your
refrigerator by following these four simple tips:
  • Vacuum your
    condenser coils.     These coils
    are usually located on the back of your refrigerator and can
    accumulate a thick layer of dust over time. Clean these every six
    months with your vacuum to avoid putting extra wear-and-tear and
    your fridge.
  • Maintain the gasket.
    The gasket is the rubber seal
    that runs around the perimeter of your refrigerator door, and keeps
    the warm air out. These gaskets are known to crack, which can cause
    your refrigerator to lose cold air. Periodically wipe the gasket
    clean with soap and water and apply a thin layer of Vaseline to keep
    it from drying out and cracking.
  • Keep away from heat
    sources.     Keeping your
    refrigerator away from sources of heat reduces the amount of work
    that the compressor must undergo in order to maintain a cold
    temperature. This includes heat-generating appliances such as your
    stove, but also avoid exposure to direct sunlight if possible.
  • Avoid keeping the
    door open.     Every time you open
    your refrigerator door, you lose a little bit of cold air. Keeping
    the door open for long periods of time will cause you to lose more
    than just a little warm air, and your refrigerator will have to work
    harder to cool down. When you are making a recipe which calls for
    multiple refrigerated items, take them all out in one trip and try
    to avoid staring into an open fridge looking for something to eat
    (hey, we all do it!).
If your
refrigerator is on the fritz, replacing it isn’t always necessary.
Often times, you can get your refrigerator fixed for the fraction of
the cost of buying a new model. If you live in New York, New Jersey,
or Connecticut, you can count on 24/7 Refrigerator Repair for speedy,
dependable service. Our phone lines are open 24/7 and same-day
appointments are available, so call 866-782-9376 today.
Refrigerator Facts Vs Myths | Speedy Refrigerator Service

Refrigerator Facts vs. Myths

Uncategorized, , , , ,
There
is a lot of false information circulating around the World Wide Web;
it’s time to clear some things up, as far as home appliances go at
least. Read the five refrigerator-related statements below and
determine if each one is a fact or a myth – you may be surprised.
Fact or Myth? – Like a
car, refrigerators need basic maintenance.
Fact.
Like your car needs periodic oil
changes and brake replacements, your refrigerator also needs a little
bit of care to run efficiently. Some things you can do to extend the
lifespan of your refrigerator include vacuuming the condenser coils
and regularly inspecting the gasket. Learn more about good fridge
maintenance here.
Fact or Myth? – Your
refrigerator only runs for a few hours a day.
Myth.
Your refrigerator runs
around-the-clock. It is the only appliance in your home that works
24/7 to keep your food fresh and your beverages refreshing.
Fact or Myth? – It
doesn’t matter where in your refrigerator you store your food.
Myth.
Some areas in your refrigerator
(such as the door) are warmer than others, which can leave food
susceptible to spoiling. To learn more about the best areas in your
refrigerator to store certain foods, click here.
Fact or Myth? – Keeping
your refrigerator full can help you use less energy.
Fact.
Believe it or not, keeping your
fridge well-stocked can help save you money on your monthly energy
bill. A full fridge maintains its temperature better when the door is
opened, so the compressor doesn’t have to work as hard to cool the
inside off. Don’t overstock your fridge though, that could actually
reduce air circulation and lead to warm spots.
Fact or Myth? – All
repair services are created equal.
Myth.
The same repair job done by two
different companies can yield two very different results. When you
are searching for an appliance repair service, you want a company
that provides fast, dependable service.
24/7
Refrigerator Repair provides same-day repairs on any make or model of
refrigerator, freezer, ice maker, or wine cooler. If you need help
fast, we also guarantee one-hour service to Long Island and New York
City. See why people have depended on us for over 75 years, call
866-782-9376 today.

Food Safety Tips

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,
The
kitchen can be a dangerous place, and not for the reasons you are
thinking. While you can be burned by hot stove tops or cut by sharp
knives, the real danger lies elsewhere. Improper handling of your
food can lead to food poisoning and other illnesses. Keep yourself
and your stomach safe by following these tips.
  • Store your raw meat
    on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator.     Not
    only will this help keep it fresh for longer since it is the coldest
    area of the refrigerator, but it will prevent raw juices from
    dripping and contaminating foods beneath it.
  • Refrigerated food
    should never be kept out more than 2 hours.     When
    buying groceries, make sure to get them in the refrigerator in under
    two hours (one hour if the temperature of the air is 90° or higher)
    – after that they will no longer be good. 
     
  • Use a separate
    cutting board for your meat.     Avoid
    contaminating your fruits and vegetables by keeping a separate
    cutting board just for your raw meat, poultry, and seafood.
  • Always wash your
    hands before and after dealing with food.     Your
    health is in your hands, make it a habit to wash them with soap and
    warm water for at least 20 seconds before and
    after
    you deal with food.
  • Replace or sanitize
    your sponge every two weeks.     Sponges
    provide the dark, moist climate that bacteria love. Replace yours
    every two weeks or sanitize it by throwing it in the microwave for
    two minutes to keep it clean and germ-free.
  • Always cook food
    thoroughly.     Avoid food
    poisoning and other illnesses by making sure to thoroughly cook all
    of your foods. Pork and poultry should be white on the inside and
    juices from red meat should run clear, not pink.
  • Keep your
    refrigerator at 39°F or below.
    40° and up is referred to as “The Danger Zone” because bacteria
    growth rates begin to triple. For optimal fresh food storage, keep
    your refrigerator between 34-38°.
If you
notice that your fresh food constantly spoils before its expiration
date, you may have a problem with your refrigerator. New York
residents can count on 24/7 Refrigerator Repair for fast service at
an affordable price. Our experts can fix any make or model of
refrigerator or freezer, and we are on call 24/7/365. Contact us at
any time to schedule a same-day appointment by calling 866-782-9376.

How to Find the Perfect Refrigerator

Uncategorized, , , , , ,
The
average lifespan of a household refrigerator is around 10-12 years,
so it isn’t often that we find ourselves in the appliance store
looking to buy a new one. With all of the different options available
on newer models, it can be hard to figure out what’s what. Next time
you go refrigerator shopping, use the tips below to find the one
that’s perfect for you.
  • Do your research.
    Before stepping foot in a
    store, do some research. Use online resources such as Consumer
    Reports to find the best-selling and most reliable manufacturers and
    models. Buying a refrigerator is an investment, make sure yours is
    going to last.
  • Measure first. This
    is a mistake too many people have made. Nothing is worse than buying
    the seemingly-perfect refrigerator for your home and discovering it
    doesn’t fit. Measure before you buy, then remeasure and measure it
    again just to be sure.
  • Buy Energy Star. If
    you aren’t considering buying an Energy Star-certified refrigerator,
    you should. An appliance earns an Energy Star label when it is
    tested and proven to deliver significant energy savings by the EPA.
    These models may have a higher price tag initially, but they will
    pay for themselves over time with the long-term energy savings they
    offer.
  • Check multiple
    retailers.     In today’s age,
    there are hundreds of options when it comes to appliance retailers;
    both locally and online. Check several nearby stores and even
    internet retailers to make sure you are getting the best price
    possible on your new refrigerator.
  • Try repairing first.
    Sometimes, a new refrigerator
    isn’t necessary. If you are buying a new model to replace a
    malfunctioning unit, see if you can get it fixed first for a
    fraction of the cost.
Residents
of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut can get fast refrigerator
repairs at an affordable rate from the experts at 24/7 Refrigerator
