Is it worth fixing a 10-year-old oven?

• <div><p>Considering ovens can last 15 years (and sometimes more), it is likely a better idea to repair a 10-year-old oven, assuming the repair won’t cost more than 50% of the oven’s value. So, for instance, if your oven is worth <b>$1,200</b> and the repair is only <b>$400</b>, it’s a better option to complete the repair.</p></div>

Does a pellet stove need its own circuit?

• <div><p>Yes. A pellet stove should have its own 110V outlet and dedicated circuit breaker. Otherwise, it could overload the system. Pellet stoves can create major fire hazards if they aren’t wired properly or have to share circuits. Get in touch with a local electrician or pellet stove expert if you need to run new wiring for a pellet stove.</p></div>

Q: Can I run a refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit?

• <div><p>You can run a small or basic standard-size refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit. But you should plug a modern, standard-size refrigerator into a 20-amp dedicated circuit. The refrigerator needs to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning it is the only appliance and outlet on that circuit breaker. This method prevents tripping the breaker and reduces the chance of an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-prevent-electrical-fires.htm">electrical fire</a>. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common type of microwave?

• <div><p>Countertop microwaves are the most common type of microwave. This is because they don't require installation; all a countertop microwave needs is a stable surface and an outlet. Low-end countertop microwaves can be found for less than <b>$100</b> with high-end models going for up to <b>$700</b>, making them an accessible option for most people.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for my oven temperature to be slightly off?

• <div><p>The temperature on your oven thermostat is actually an average temperature. It&rsquo;s normal for an oven&rsquo;s actual temperature to vary by a few degrees at any given time. In other words, when you test the thermostat, your oven thermometer may never hit 350 degrees Fahrenheit exactly (though gas ovens tend to be more on the nose). You may want to take a few readings with an oven thermometer just to get a sense of why your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-won-t-my-gas-oven-heat.htm">gas oven is not heating</a> correctly.</p></div>
