Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

Most microwaves last for around eight years; lower-end units may last as few as five, while higher-end microwaves could continue to work for ten or more years. A few factors will affect the lifespan of your small appliance:

How many people in your home use the appliance
How often you use the microwave
Brand and quality
Whether or not you maintain it properly
Style of microwave
Professional or DIY installation

A decade plus of normal wear and tear combined with heavy cookware usage are the most common reasons glass stove tops break. The glass can also break from sudden temperature changes, including dramatic shifts in the local climate. Manufacturer defects and poor quality control are rarer causes of cracks, but they do occur.

Removing an appliance is usually a straightforward DIY job, but hiring a haul-away service is worth the investment to make your life easier. Large appliances are bulky and heavy, making them dangerous to move, especially if you need to maneuver them through doorways or up or down stairs. Hiring an appliance removal pro ensures your safety and prevents damage to your home while removing dishwashers and other major appliances. You should always hire an appliance removal company to disconnect water or gas lines, as doing so incorrectly can create serious issues.

If you have a tank-type electric water heater, it runs regularly to keep the water at the desired temperature. If you live in a home where you don’t use much hot water, it could seem wasteful to run power to heat water that you’re using infrequently. You could save some power by using a smaller tank, insulating the tank, or lowering the temperature of the water heater.

Maintenance includes regular filter cleaning, checking water connections, and ensuring that the unit operates at optimal efficiency without blockages.
