How do you prepare appliances for hurricane season?
There are a few tips on how to prepare our appliances before the hurricane season. 1. During a power outage, it's wise to disconnect any appliances that aren't critical to avoid damage when the power returns. This includes refrigerators, washers and dryers, microwaves, dishwashers, and any items that generate heat.
2. Second. Invest in surge protectors to protect your oven and refrigerator from power surges. When electricity is restored, utilize high-quality surge protectors to shield your appliances from power surges. These devices can absorb excess voltage and prevent damage to sensitive electronics.
3. Keep Refrigerators and Freezers Closed. In case of a blackout, keep the doors of your refrigerator and freezer closed as much as possible. A full freezer can maintain its temperature for up to 48 hours, while a refrigerator can keep food safe for about four to six hours if left closed.
