Are you ready for Christmas? Got all those last minute pressies and done your big Christmas shop? Some people might be feeling the need for more food (and drinks) storage space right now. Actually that's easily fixed via fridge hire but there are a few other ways we can help you this Christmas. Such as .... you could rent a drinks fridge or a second fridge for all your parties, hire an LCD or plasma TV and a PS3 or Nintendo Wii gaming console to keep the "kids" entertained (not all of us are lucky enough to be getting one for Christmas - so hiring is certainly an option!), rent to buy that new fridge, television or laptop computer ... there are a few ideas to get you thinking ... it's not too late for delivery before Christmas.

Seasons greetings from all of us at Home Appliance Rentals!

Clothes Dryer Service Alert

As part of regular maintenance and care of your clothes dryer, cleaning the lint filter after you have used it is an important habit to get into. Not only will it ensure the dryer works to its optimum at all times, it will reduce the risk of a fire in your home due to an overloaded lint filter.

When your dryer’s lint filter becomes plugged or blocked, it limits the ability of the dryer to exhaust hot air. This can cause the dryer to become over heated and increases the risk of a fire.

Most dryers are fitted with a overload switch however this should not be relied upon, as a clogged lint filter will also result in increased power usage due to the longer period of time it will take to dry your clothes.

The best approach is to carry out preventative action by ensuring the dryer filter is cleaned after ever use of the dryer which will allow the hot air can exhaust for the clothes dryer unrestricted.

Damaged dryer lint filters should be replaced, so if it has a hole in it or is just worn out, purchase a new clothes dryer filter from Mr Appliance.

Frost Free & Cyclic Defrost Refrigerators

'Frost Free' is the latest technology for fridges, what it means is that the refrigerator or fridge will maintain a constant temperature in the freezer compartment and this ensures that the freezer will not build up to with ice.

'Cyclic Defrost' refrigerators are older technology, they do not have a regulated temperature control, therefore frost builds up in the freezer section. They also lack the ability to defrost themselves in these situations. With the build up of ice in the freezer, ice will build up in the freezer section of the fridge.

When this occurs in the Fridge Freezer section you then have to defrost the freezer manually every couple of months. This has disadvantages, as the ice builds up in the freezer it decreases the freezer compartment capacity meaning less storage space.

Refrigerator Power Usage

The ratings of the newer fridges are 4 star. This standard was introduced several years ago. There are still a large number of fridges in operation that have ahigher power usage however over time they will be replaced.
To ensure the lowest level of poewer is used in the fridge you can follow some basic steps. Only opent the door when you know what it is you require. Never leave the door open, have the temperature adjusted so the products are cool in the fridge no frozen and thisame for the freezer, ice cream should be soft not rock hard..

Refrigerator Installation

It is always a good idea to have at least 50mm gap around your refrigerator. We recommend that before you purchase or hire a fridge that you measure the available space. Then when you contact our customer service representative you can advise them of the dimensions, that way they can be sure to offer only refrigerators that will suit the space available for rent. This space allows for air to circulate around your fridge and ensure continual and trouble free operation.

Safe Fridge Disposal

A lot of people are unsure how to dispose of a fridge. Councils in most cities will collect them if you ask them or we can remove it when we provide you with your new fridge for a small fee. It is critical that when storing an unused fridge outside of your home that you place it with the door against a wall making it impossible to open.
In addition to this if you are placing the fridge on the road side for council collection you must remove the doors. These measures are required as there has been some terrible accidents with children playing in fridges and getting locked in them, resulting in their deaths.
