To ensure your appliances are working well, Atlanta Appliance Services is happy to assist you. Below you’ll find information to consider for the New Year and new appliances. Then all you need to think about is where to get started!
New Appliances for the Kitchen
Appliances for your kitchen make up a significant part of how your kitchen looks and how it functions when it comes time to cooking. First, you want to choose appliances that fit your kitchen layout best while considering your budget. s you probably know, it can get pricey if you’re looking for a professional-grade or higher-end refrigerator with built-ins.
New Cooktops
Do you want electric, gas, or induction when you think about a new cooktop? These are all your personal preferences. Nancy Divita is a showroom manager at Trevarrow and says with gas; you lose about 40% of your heat. When it comes to cooking with induction heat on a flat cooktop, you lose the least amount of heat.
Induction seems to be making a return in the American market, says Davita. “Induction is certainly a time-saver because you can bring a pan of water to boiling faster than you can on a high-performing BTU (gas) range top.”
When you begin the search for your gas cooktop, ask about BTU. This stands for British Thermal Units, which is a measurement of energy. You’ll want to look for burner grates that are made of a metal that conducts heat or cast iron. Also, ask about variable control, which refers to how long you can simmer without your flame going out.
Add in Warming Drawers
If you’ve never heard of them, warming drawers allow you the convenience of preparing food ahead of time and placing it into a drawer to keep it warm. You can use this function if you’re having guests over later and want to keep your food tasting fresh or if you’re making a big meal and you are waiting on another dish to be finished.
These drawers allow your food to retain an adequate amount of moisture. Suppose you purchase a warming drawer for your new appliance. In that case, we recommend these as they are preferred over tossing your dishes into the microwave, which typically does not give you an even distribution of heat.
Brand New Range Hoods
A more advanced cooktop requires a ventilation system that will allow the exhaust out of the kitchen without making a lot of sounds. When you only hear the sound of the motor running and not the sound of suction, the hood isn’t working like it’s supposed to.
Loud sounds like this can interrupt your dinner party or make functioning in the kitchen chaotic. No one wants that! But if you’re the kind of person where the noise bothers you all around, consider a unit that allows the installation of the motor to be on the exterior of your home.
“You might take out some of the fat, but you’re not moving out any of the heat,” Divita says. “Choose a hood with adequate cfms for your cooktop. As a general rule, a four-burner electric cooking surface should have ventilation that performs at 400 cfms.”
And, of course, range hoods are more than just the function of blowing hot air out. It even serves as a critical style component in your kitchen. You can find range hoods in various attractive and functional materials like copper, stainless steel, and types of wood. And many design styles are offered, from modern to majestic to linear and traditional.
Shiny New Refrigerators and Freezers
Right now, your kitchen’s refrigerator and freezer may stick out about 6 or 7 inches from your counter depth. Still, now that you have the opportunity to upgrade your appliance, you should take the correct measures to ensure your refrigerator and freezer blend in with your counter space.
When you think about your refrigerator’s performance and quality, it comes down to the compressor and the unit. Single compressor units that run the refrigerator and freezer work extra time to keep the fridge moist and dry and to keep your freezer as cold as it should be.
Consider a double compressor unit; it costs more, but you will be pleased to know that your food will be kept fresh longer. In fact, it will be able to keep up with the temperatures needed for food and drinks with ease. If you ever see sweating on your groceries in the fridge or freezer, it could need to be upgraded to a double compressor.
A New Microwave
Wherever you choose to put your microwave, it can take up a lot of space, whether you put it in a built-in cabinet on the counter or above the stove. Consider a convection microwave if you want one that works exceptionally well and is closer to the way an oven functions and cooks your food.
A microwave works just as fast, if not quicker, than an oven. This will also take away the need to purchase a double range. Another option that’s available is a microwave with drawers which are very handy since they tuck away in most base cabinets.
Consider a New Dishwasher
Traditional dishwashers with doors that pull from the top and lower down are the most popular among homeowners. However, if you want a new appliance for the new year, consider getting a dishwasher that goes into a drawer. They are conveniently tucked out of the way and can be designed and installed at various heights based on your preference and needs.
These dishwashers function best with smaller loads, but that also means you can be more efficient at getting the dishes done. One of the more popular designs is the tried-and-true stainless steel. Still, depending on your kitchen style and layout, you may choose to go with something different, as the options are endless.
Sinks That are New and Advanced
Oftentimes sinks are an afterthought when you consider getting a new appliance for your kitchen. But if you think about it, it can be a simple upgrade that makes an outstanding difference. Think about a lovely new shiny stainless-steel sink to add a pop of freshness to your kitchen and in your life.
Or you could go a different route and do a lovely deep porcelain white farmhouse sink that has the word “fresh” written all over it. Sinks have many different shapes, depths, sizes, and colors. Not to mention, new sinks are being designed with cutting boards, drying racks, and other creative and functional add-ons.
Lovely New Faucets
Faucets are one of the most used appliances in homes. It’s such a luxury to us that we typically don’t even consider how much we use our faucets. When getting a new appliance like this, there are so many options to choose from. Below are just a few options available for homeowners.
Choose Your Favorite Style of Faucet
When choosing a faucet, you have traditional, transitional, modern, and commercial styles.
- A traditional faucet lets you mix and match different layers and details along with textures and colors. It’s an easy option and will always be an elegant choice.
- Transitional faucets give you a combination of traditional and modern in one.
- With a modern faucet, you’ll have designs that are subtle, with a simple frame that is stylish and functional.
- Commercial-style faucets easily complement your skills at cooking and are common to a modern design. Still, their specific characteristics can help bring your meals together.
No matter the style of faucet you choose or the finish color, using a beautiful sink and faucet is one of the luxuries we often overlook.
New Laundry Room Appliances
Major appliances are always a big investment, but most people only consider getting a replacement once something stops working. And if you are like most people, there is a large amount of time spent in the laundry room of your home. So, you may want to replace the aesthetic of your laundry room, the functionality, or the technology in the room.
The Washer and Dryer
Most washers and dryers we’ll start hinting at you that they’re on their way to breaking down. And when that happens, it is only the beginning. If you cannot have that item repaired by a professional appliance repair company, consider all new!
Typically, prices of appliances are at their highest when the manufacturer has just released the product. So, if you wait a bit, you could get the best price possible. It is suggested to wait until the price goes down or look for last year’s model. New models are continually being added to the showroom floors, so the inventory is constantly being renewed and turned.
