Odessa Appliance Repair Specialist Addresses Shrinking Manufacturer Warranties

(EstateNewsWire.com, August 26, 2012 ) Odessa, FL -- The Odessa Appliance Repair Specialists often address consumers’ concerns about shrinking appliance warranties. Lance Kimball, owner of Appliance Repair Specialists has served area residents as the premier appliance service provider since 1997. He has noticed that many customers are annoyed with shrinking warranties during a time when improvements in technology should be producing the opposite result.

Appliance manufacturers compete by advertising new energy efficient features and upgrades; but they do not understand the trend that began in 2005. Manufacturers are offering shorter warranties on major home appliances including refrigerators, ranges and washing machines.

Manufacturers including 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. Consumers believe that as technology advances and makes improvements then warranties should be longer. Lance Kimball 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 from the Appliance Repair Specialists (http://www.appliancerepairspecialists.net/) 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.
