If there’s one room in any house that qualifies as its heart, it’s probably the kitchen. It’s where family gatherings take place and meals are prepared, as well as the central hub for all of your social events. Going to a party? Make a quick dip to take along for everyone! Whether you’re an avid chef or not, the kitchen is a central part of your home. However, time takes its toll on everything in one way or another.

Your kitchen may be the central hub of your home, but when something breaks, it becomes the central problem. Any number of things can go wrong in a kitchen, be it a fire, an old appliance finally giving up, or a problem with a brand new appliance. A cracked or crooked shelf in your refrigerator is usually not a huge deal, and a broken dishwasher can be tided over by hand washing your plates, but a broken oven is something entirely different to deal with. Some situations are more severe than others, but the fact remains that when something goes wrong in your kitchen, your whole house can be turned upside down.

The first step in keeping your kitchen running is taking the time to pick the right appliances. On average, your refrigerator and oven should run without issue for 13 to 15 years before you need to think about replacing them. In addition to making sure your new appliances are going to last that long, you should make sure they’re under warranty in the case that anything does happen. While making sure that all of the paperwork checks out is important, taking care of your appliances is often the make or break point. Practicing regular cleaning and inspection can mean the difference between catching a problem before it happens and letting it sneak up on you. Regular cleaning in your fridge, oven and dishwasher can help prevent the buildup of any grime or rust, as well as alert you to any small problems with your appliances.

As with anything in life, accidents happen So in the case that you need refrigerator repairs, dishwasher repairs, or oven repairs, there are people out there who can help you. If your appliance is still under warranty repairs may be covered, but in most cases the problem will occur after a few years of use. Fortunately, most oven repairs and other fixes range from $254 to $275, which is considerably less than purchasing an entirely new appliance. If you look in your phone book, odds are that a local company will be able to help you with your repairs, and even come around if anything seems problematic again, so no need to fear!

You may think that oven repairs and the like are far and few between, but the reality is that they happen all the time! The most important thing to keep in mind is that you don’t have to replace an appliance as soon as something bad happens! In most cases, repair is available, and more cost effective than outright purchasing a new appliance. The same is applicable to washing machine repairs and dryer repairs, but that’s an issue for another day.
