Spring: A Fresh Start for Appliances 

As the snow melts and flowers bloom, it's time to give your appliances a fresh start.

1. Refrigerator Coils:

Spring cleaning isn't just for your home. Vacuum the coils at the back of your refrigerator to remove dust accumulated during the winter months, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency.

2. Air Conditioner Check:

Before the heat of summer arrives, check and clean your air conditioner filters. Proper maintenance helps it run efficiently when temperatures start to rise.

3. Washer and Dryer Vent Inspection:

Inspect and clean the dryer vent to prevent fire hazards. Spring is also an excellent time to clean the lint filter and inspect the hoses of your washing machine for any leaks.

Summer: Cooling Comfort and Efficiency 

Summer in Colorado Springs can be warm, so it's crucial to keep your cooling appliances in top shape.

1. Air Conditioner Maintenance:

 Service your air conditioner before the peak of summer. Clean or replace filters, check the thermostat, and ensure proper insulation to keep your home cool and energy-efficient.

2. Grill and Oven Check:

With outdoor cooking becoming more frequent, inspect and clean your grill. For indoor cooking, check your oven's seals and clean the range hood filters.

3. Refrigerator Organization: 

With the warmer weather, your refrigerator works harder. Keep it organized to maintain proper airflow and help the appliance run efficiently.

Fall: Preparing for the Chill

As temperatures begin to drop, prepare your appliances for the upcoming winter.

1. Heating System Inspection:

Before the cold sets in, have your heating system inspected. Change filters and ensure proper insulation to keep your home warm and energy-efficient.

2. Dishwasher Deep Clean:

With holiday gatherings approaching, give your dishwasher a deep clean. Remove any debris from the filter and inspect the spray arm for clogs.

3. Freezer Stocking:

Prepare for the winter months by organizing your freezer. Check for expired items, defrost if necessary, and make space for holiday meals.

Winter: Efficiency and Warmth

Winter in Colorado Springs requires a focus on efficiency and warmth.

1. Water Heater Check: 

Ensure your water heater is functioning optimally. Insulate the pipes to prevent heat loss and save on energy costs.

2. Range Hood Maintenance:

During winter cooking, your range hood works hard. Clean the filters and inspect for any issues to ensure proper ventilation.

3. Winterize Outdoor Appliances:

If you have outdoor appliances like a grill, take steps to winterize them. Clean thoroughly and cover to protect from the elements.
