Saving $ With Refrigerator Maintenance

Your refrigerator is one of the most essential appliances in your home, responsible for keeping your food fresh and safe. However, like any appliance, it requires regular maintenance to operate efficiently. Neglecting these couple of important tasks can lead to higher energy bills, costly repairs, and a shorter lifespan for your refrigerator. Here’s how proper maintenance can help you save money and extend the life of your appliance.

We estimate >$2,500 of savings. See what you need to do and how we calculate savings, below!

Cleaning Your Fridge Coils

The condenser coils are located at the back or underneath your refrigerator and play a critical role in cooling. When these coils become dirty, the refrigerator has to work harder, which increases energy consumption. Clean your fridge coils annually. See how here!

Changing Your Water Filters

Refrigerators equipped with water and ice dispensers provide convenient access to fresh water and ice, but to ensure the quality and safety of that water, it’s essential to change the water filters regularly.  Change your water filters every 6 months.
