New Trend in Shrinking Warranties Addressed by the New Tampa Appliance Repair Specialists

(EstateNewsWire.com, August 01, 2012 ) New Tampa, FL – The Appliance Repair New Tampa Specialists address the new trend that has led to shrinking appliance manufacturer warranties. With shorter warranties becoming the norm, many owners are upset. The local appliance repair man suggests ways for consumers to get more out of shrinking manufacturers’ warranties.

According to the Appliance Repair Specialists, manufacturers compete by advertising new energy efficient features and upgrades; however, no one is thrilled with a trend that began in 2005. Manufacturers’ warranties began to shrink on major home appliances including refrigerators, ranges and washing machines.

Frigidaire, General Electric, Maytag and Whirlpool shortened their warranties on many major appliances from 2-3 years to only one year. Extended appliance warranties were also adjusted.

Some appliance manufacturers insist that these changes benefit the consumer by making warranties simpler. Simplified terms and improved product quality and after-sales care are some of the benefits they claim. Lance Kimball, owner of Appliance Repair Specialists (http://www.appliancerepairspecialists.net/) agrees with consumers who are confused by this claim and realize the bottom line…they are getting less coverage for the same price!

Here are some tips Lance shares with his customers to get more (or lose less) from shrinking appliance warranties:

• Purchase appliances with a credit card that offers product insurance

• Look into purchasing extended warranty but be sure you understand the terms and coverage

• Read the instruction manual to learn how to properly maintain the appliance to increase longevity and maintain maximum performance. Some appliance maintenance tasks such as furnace cleaning should be handled by a licensed and qualified contractor.

• Have new appliances installed by a qualified professional

• Always have appliance repair performed by a certified and qualified appliance service technician

Following these tips can help appliances last longer in spite of shrinking manufacturers’ warranties. Appliance Repair Specialists are certified and authorized to service most brands of home appliances from small appliance repair to major appliances including refrigerators, ranges and washing machines.
