Appliances are essential elements in our homes. They simplify daily life, helping us with household tasks and saving us valuable time.
However, the choice of appliances for our home and their proper maintenance require some attention.
We interviewed the experts in appliance repair and maintenance at AeL Assistance, who offer us their expertise with all the advice to choose and maintain the best appliances for your home, including design, functionality and energy efficiency.
How to Choose Home Appliances
When it comes to choosing home appliances, there are several aspects to consider.
Feature
The first aspect to consider is functionality. Appliances should have the necessary functions to meet your daily needs.
For example, if you like to cook, you could opt for an oven with advanced features such as precise temperature control or steaming. On the other hand, if you have a large family, a large refrigerator with multiple compartments may be more appropriate.
Design
Appliances should not only be functional, but they should also harmonize with the décor of your home.
This does not necessarily mean that you have to opt for expensive designer appliances, but that you should choose models that aesthetically blend in with your environment and are to your taste.
Efficiency
Energy-efficient appliances will not only help you save money on your utility bills, but they are also more eco-friendly. When choosing your appliances, pay attention to the energy label, which indicates the energy consumption of the product.
How to Maintain Appliances
Once you have chosen your appliances, it is important to take care of them to keep them efficient over time. Here are some tips.
Regular cleaning
Regular cleaning is crucial for keeping appliances in good condition. Not only will this help maintain the aesthetic appearance but also help prevent malfunctions.
For example, a dirty oven may not heat properly, a dishwasher with a clogged filter and greased seals will not wash well, while a refrigerator with a dust-covered back may use more energy.
Preventive maintenance
Preventative maintenance can help prevent future problems. For example, it might be helpful to call a technician once a year to check on your most important appliances, such as your refrigerator or washing machine. This could help identify potential problems before they become serious and reduce the time of regular maintenance by keeping your appliances looking better and more efficient for a long time.
Timely repairs
If you notice any problems with your appliances, it is important to intervene promptly. Avoid DIY, many people often try to solve it themselves, risking hurting themselves or ruining their machinery, and having to spend more for a late intervention.
Delaying repairs could not only make the problem worse, but could also cause further damage.
Appliances are a truly fundamental element of our home, so it is important to choose models that combine functionality, design and energy efficiency.
In addition, proper maintenance will ensure their longevity and functionality over time. “Remember,” says Alberto, head of AeL’s technical office, “that a good appliance is not only a beautiful object to look at, but must also be a valuable ally in helping you facilitate your daily life.”
