How Hot Weather Affects Your Appliances

Austin and Central Texas heat can cause appliances—especially cooling systems like refrigerators and freezers—to work harder than in milder climates. Frequent dust buildup and higher ambient temperatures reduce efficiency and raise energy use.

Practical Steps to Protect Your Appliances

• Dust and vacuum refrigerator coils twice a year to maintain cooling efficiency.

• Keep appliances level and stable to prevent undue wear or vibration.

• Check door seals monthly to ensure cold air stays in and hot air stays out.

These simple precautions help offset the demand your appliances face in hot weather, saving you time and money.
