Nothing is so frustrating and potentially expensive, as having a major appliance on which you rely on a daily basis, like your refrigerator, furnace or air conditioner, break down when you need it most. There are a few things that you can do on a regular basis to help ensure their longevity and effectiveness.
* You can pull your refrigerator out from the wall and vacuum off the condenser coils, as they rely on air flowing around them to work efficiently.
* On your furnace, it’s easy to replace (or clean, on some models) your filter in order to keep it in good working order.
* To keep your air conditioner in top form, keep the grill and register clean and it will keep on working for you when you need it the most.
