When is the best time to schedule appliance maintenance?
You can schedule appliance maintenance at any time throughout the year, but we recommend scheduling it in early fall. This ensures your appliances are in top shape and ready to handle the increased usage that often comes with the holiday season. Whether it's your oven, refrigerator, or dishwasher, having them properly inspected and maintained before the busy months can help prevent breakdowns when you need them most.
For your HVAC system, it's best to schedule maintenance in the fall for your heating system, so it’s prepared for the colder months, and in early spring for your air conditioner to ensure it’s ready for the warmer months ahead. By addressing any issues before the seasons change, you can help prevent system failures when they’re needed most.
For some appliances, like washers and dryers, maintenance in the spring or summer may also be ideal, as these appliances often see heavier use during those times. Ultimately, the best time to schedule maintenance depends on your usage patterns and specific needs, but staying proactive with routine care will help extend the lifespan of your appliances and avoid costly repairs.
