Every electrical appliance needs to be serviced at least once in 6 months. Servicing ensures the machine functions correctly and lives up to its guarantee period. Water heater service becomes essential for safety reasons and to limit scaling. Scaling causes the accumulation of deposits on the heating elements of a water geyser, reducing the performance or even damaging the heating element or geyser. A water heater can leak or explode if not maintained correctly, resulting in costly home repairs, injuries, or death. 

If you are facing issues with your water heater and are trying to understand why, it may be because its service after the first installation is due. You can Download the OneDios app and register your service request today. Our Geyser service partner will handle all your water heater-related issues. The good news is that by doing small preventative maintenance tasks, you will be able to extend the life of the systems and save money on water heater repair.

The benefits of servicing the water heater are:

  1. Extends the lifespan

Timely water heater repair and service improves the output and efficiency of your water heater. Geyser maintenance can prevent rusting of the tank, leaking pipes, damaged heating rods and fluctuations in temperature. Water heaters generally have a lifespan of about 10 years if maintained well. Regular servicing of the geyser can prevent major repairs down the road by catching problems early on. Therefore, it is best to get the geyser inspected by a professional once every six months or even more if there is hard water in your area. You can use the OneDios app to check your water heater every 6 months.

  1. Makes geyser energy efficient

A regularly serviced water heater doesn’t consume excess energy in heating the water. The well-maintained geyser will provide fresh and hot water in just a few minutes. No need to keep the water heater ON for long, thus making your geyser energy efficient and saving you money on electricity bills. The hotter your hot water supply is, the more power it will consume. This simple geyser maintenance tip can save you money and electricity. If you keep the temperature low enough to be manageable, you won’t have to consult the Bajaj electricals customer care for geyser repair.

  1. Prevents accidents and ensures safety

Safety is essential in water heaters as they deal with water and electricity. A regularly serviced geyser ensures that there are no wiring issues and is functioning perfectly. A leaking geyser can lead to colossal damage in no time. If it isn’t repaired in time, it can lead to the geyser bursting, leading to severe injuries. If you are facing water heater leakage issues at your home, are looking forward to buying an AMC plan, or getting your geyser service done, download the OneDios app today.

What is Covered in an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)

What is Covered in an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)

Every home has multiple electric appliances for daily use, which are expensive. These appliances make our lives smooth and comfortable while helping us save valuable time. So, the smooth and efficient functioning of these appliances is essential. Overtime these appliances need repairs or replacements because breakdowns tend to burn a hole in your pocket. These appliances can be protected with timely maintenance and service and can avoid high repair costs. Making an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) for all may be necessary for regular care and maintenance of home appliances. This is why you need reliable repair and maintenance service providers able to provide quick solutions to your problems. OneDios is one such platform catering to all your maintenance and service needs of appliances in just a few clicks. You can buy your AMC on OneDios here. 

What is an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)?

AMC is an agreement between a product’s company and you (the consumer or buyer) to maintain the product and ensures that you get repairs, and maintenance for free or nominal fees during the contract period, from the authorised executives of the company. We at OneDios provide AMCs for all appliances like AC AMC, RO AMC, Refrigerator AMC, etc. You can also download the OneDios app or visit www.onedios.com to buy an annual maintenance contract for your appliances.

What does AMC Include?

AMCs are usually based on the buyer’s needs, such as maintenance needs, repair services, replacement of parts, general service terms and specifications, response time and return procedure, service exclusions, price, invoicing, payment terms and many more.

  • AMCs may include the service required for the proper functioning of the home appliance for which the AMC is being done.
  • Often AMCs last for years, starting with a minimum of 1 year. The fee for the time of AMC is collected upfront. Check the terms and conditions of AMC carefully before signing.
  • Some AMCs cover costly spare parts. It is sensible to go ahead with the AMC covering replacements of spares as it will save you money.
  • AMCs ensure regular servicing of home appliances. Most AMCs include periodical check-ups and servicing of the home appliance under it. This means there is less likely to be a breakdown in home appliances with regular maintenance.
  • Repair and maintenance services through AMC help you save in the long run. The charges under AMC for regular maintenance are usually much lower than the individual services.

Comprehensive Maintenance Contract (CMC)

A CMC is usually for one year and can be extended up to 3 or 5 years if the parties agree. It includes prompt service for repairs and replacements of faulty parts or appliances. A CMC (Comprehensive Maintenance Contract) costs more than an AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) because it includes the costs of the replacements on top of the maintenance service.

Advantages of AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract)

  • Economical: AMCs ensure minimal costs for repairs and services, and no hidden charges are levied. The fee for the tenure of the contract is collected upfront.
  • Functional and efficient appliances: With time and wear and tear, home appliances become less efficient. Regular maintenance and repair services provided through AMC keep them running smoothly and fully functional. AMC ensure appliances’ longevity as the technicians consistently check the machines and their parts to perform well.
  • Flexible plans: AMC providers allow space to choose a recommended plan or design your protection plan.
  • Expert technicians: An AMC company has many specialised technicians who are well-equipped and always available for users. They are highly resourceful and well-trained for their jobs.
  • 24/7 emergency service: Thorough support, assistance and guidance are available anytime for users availing benefits under the terms and conditions of AMC.

Top 5 Mistakes Dishwasher Owners Make

top 5 mistake dishwasher owner make

Dishwashers were invented to reduce our load by convenient dishwashing and to make our life easier. No one looks forward to hand-washing a heap of dirty dishes every day after every meal. Dishwashers save us time, energy, hassle and money without compromising cleanliness quality. 

As is with all electric appliances, the best dishwashers need to be used and maintained correctly to last them long-term. Our lousy cleaning habits and improper use affect the dishwasher’s overall performance. However, if you feel that your dishwasher service is due, download the “OneDios” app and generate a service request in a few clicks. We should not take our dishwashers for granted but operate and maintain them properly for their smooth functioning.

Some of the most common dishwasher mistakes we make are:

  • Pre-Rinsing Dirty Dishes

Most of us thinks that rinsing dishes in the sink before loading them into the dishwasher will make them cleaner. That is not the case. Dishes need to be dirty for the dishwasher to clean more efficiently. So, the grimier the dishes, the better! Save water and energy – skip the pre-rinse!

 You need to scrape off big chunks into the bin and let the machine do the rest. Most dishwashers have sensors that measure the dirt level and adjust the temperature and wash cycle accordingly.

  • Adding Extra or Wrong Detergent

The quantity and quality of dishwasher detergent used are essential. Adding extra detergent to the dishwasher will not give cleaner dishes. However, it may leave a film of detergent on the dishes, needing to be cleaned again. Using cheap or poor-quality detergents leaves the dishes dirty and contain harsh abrasive agents, which can dull or wear away your delicate glassware and dishes. 

Using a good quality detergent in correct quantity is very important for a dishwaasher. If you have any questions regarding detergent or dishwasher service, raise a service request with OneDios, without having to call various people or search for phone numbers in just 60 seconds.

  • Overfilling or Partially Filling the Dishwasher

Overfilling or cramming all the dishes at once is not an effective dishwashing technique. It may save you time and energy, but overcrowding dishes prevents soap and water from reaching every surface properly. Space the dishes properly to ensure thorough cleaning.

Partial filling or washing a handful of dishes wastes resources and allows dishes to bang against each other, risking breakage. Instead of using twice as much water and detergent over a partially filled load, wait to wash your dishes until you have a full load, or hand wash small loads.

  • Filling the Dishwasher all Wrong

Filling the dishwasher incorrectly can affect its overall cleaning performance. It matters where dishes are placed in the dishwasher, wrong placement on shelf may break or melt dishes. Many items are dishwasher-safe only when set on the top rack, and other dishes must be on the bottom rack. Put glasses, bowls, cups, and oversized serving utensils on the top. Plates, pots, pans, and utensils should be on the bottom. 

Spoons that nest together during a cycle can remain encrusted with food. Alternate spoons and forks pointing up and down to prevent this nesting effect. For safety purposes, knives should always be placed pointing downward.

  • Non-Dishwasher Safe Items

We assume we can wash everything in the dishwasher but should never keep some items. Avoid putting wood, copper, cast-iron, delicate glassware, and other non-dishwasher-safe items in the dishwasher. Wood splits and cracks when exposed to dishwasher temperatures, humidity, and water. Delicate glassware can break, leaving a big mess to clean up and damaging the dishwasher. Metals like cast iron and copper should not be washed in the dishwasher as they can also get damaged and cause damage to other dishes. Always check whether the dishes are dishwasher safe before putting them in.

  • Ignoring Dishwasher Maintenance

Dishwasher maintenance should be regulated according to instructions given in the user manual every once in a while. The cleaning of the dishwasher is easy. Occasionally run an empty dishwasher with a cup of baking soda and one and a half cups of vinegar. This will freshen and clean the insides of the dishwasher.

Remember that if you want your dishwasher service or installation done, OneDios provides all kinds of services.  OneDios gives you services in just 60 seconds. No need to call customer service of any brand; download the OneDios app and raise a dishwasher service request in a few clicks. If purchased and used smartly, the dishwasher’s monthly cost is way less than the savings you will make in the long term. At OneDios, you can also schedule the next dishwasher service in advance. OneDios now covers over 1350+ cities in India.

Tips to Increase the Lifespan of your TV

tip to increase the life of tv

TV has become one of the world’s most popular home appliances and addictions for people worldwide. It is the crucial mass means of entertainment, news, advertisement and much more. Since the invention of Smart TVs, they have come equipped with internet and many streaming features like Netflix, Hotstar, etc. Over the years, many types of TVs were invented, like Plasma TVs, LCD TVs, and LED TVs. LED TVs have become the preferred choice as they are long-lasting and more energy-efficient. For binge-watchers, Smart TVs are nothing less than a treasure.

Whether you buy plasma, LCD, LED or a new OLED television, you can likely expect the television to outlast the technology itself. The average lifespan of a TV is 10 years, even if you always leave it on. When you spend a hefty amount for a Smart TV, it is natural that you want it to last long and perform well during its lifespan. LED TVs provide the brightest and most beautiful pictures and are a high-cost investment that no one wants to replace in a few years. In the unfortunate case of a TV breakdown, you can use the OneDios TV repair service team to get it repaired.

Most of us take our TVs for granted. Maintaining a TV will not just save you from expensive last-minute repairs but also help extend the life of your TV. And remember, prevention is better than cure. Well, here are some ways by which you can improve the lifespan of your Smart TV.

  • Ensure adequate ventilation

Overheating is a significant reason why TVs don’t last long. While mounting, take care that there is enough space between the wall and the TV. Also, the TV should be placed in an open space to cool off by itself, increasing your TV’s life span.  Ensure there is adequate airflow within the room. A closed room can build up the heat and invite problems affecting the TV’s functioning and lifespan. If you are facing any issues or the TV keeps heating up, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. It is a one-stop shop for all your TV-related issues and queries. 

  • Switch Off the TV when not in use

Smart TVs can stay on for more extended periods without needing regular replacements. However, if you regularly switch off your TV, it will save power and help extend its lifespan. The Smart TVs components like the motherboard, capacitors, and other parts which get heated up will get some time to rest and cool off. It would be best if you always switched off your TV when not watching it.

Excess or unnecessary unlimited use can cause burn-in, overheating, and reduction in its life span in the long run. Televisions usually come with a 1–2year manufacturer’s warranty, but in cases where TV is constantly ON, it will need to be repaired soon after the manufacturer’s warranty ends. If you are looking forward to buying an Extended Warranty plan for your LED TV or LCD TV, download the OneDios app and put in a request today.

  • Adjust TV brightness

Keeping your TV’s brightness at maximum can harm its life span. High brightness quickly heats the TV, which can affect the screen in the long run. Remember, once the picture begins to dim, the picture quality is affected until it eventually becomes unwatchable. TV screens are designed with settings that can work in very bright and dark rooms and everything in between.

You have to remember more the brightness, the more electricity it consumes. The high brightness level can affect your eyes, so it is better to keep the it at a reasonable level. For any query regarding brightness levels, feel free to call experts at OneDios.

  • Use a voltage regulator.

Voltage fluctuations can harm your TV and cause severe damage to it, affecting the lifespan of your Smart TV. Usually, voltage fluctuates during storms, power cuts or bad weather and voltage spikes can happen anytime. Even minor surges in the power grid can cause significant damage to electronics plugged directly into outlets. So, it is best to use a voltage regulator to manage such fluctuations effectively. If, unfortunately, your TV does get damaged by sudden fluctuation or is not switching on, download the OneDios app and call for a TV service expert.

  • Adjust contrast settings

Contrast settings control the difference between the dark and bright colours of the display. The clear picture quality of Smart TVs is mainly due to high colour contrast, which eventually reduces the lifespan of your TV. When the contrast is high, more energy will be consumed. Set the contrast level to get a good visual experience and low power consumption.

  • Keep the TV and its surroundings clean.

Keeping your Smart TV dust-free can protect it from overheating. Dust can settle on the screen and affect visibility. Never use harsh solutions for cleaning as they can permanently damage the screen, and replacing the TV panel costs nearly half the price of your TV. Use a microfiber cloth for dusting and cleaning your TV sets to avoid scratches.

A dusty environment has a chance to induce a short circuit causing non-recoverable damage to the screen of TV. So, always keep the television in dust-free and clean surroundings. It can also get into the insides of your TV, making it slow and causing harm to the inner components. If you are not comfortable cleaning your TV from the inside, download the OneDios app and call for a TV service expert.

We often forget or avoid doing essential things like switching off the television or keeping it clean. Hoping that the tips mentioned above will help you protect your TV and work efficiently for longer. Proper maintenance and timely service are essential in saving repair costs, replacing parts, and increasing your TV lifespan.   

If you are facing issues with your TV in your home, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. We aim to offer a top-class professional facility for repair, fitting, and maintenance work. At OneDios, we provide the best-experienced professionals and services to assist you in getting good quality customer service for your appliances. OneDios also keeps the track of your previous TV service and if any part was replaced. At OneDios, you can also schedule the next TV service in advance. You can also buy an extended warranty and AMCs for all TV brands like LG, Philips, Sony, Samsung, Haier, etc.

Top 5 Mistakes AC Owners Make

Top 5 Mistakes

Our air conditioner has become our best friend during the summer months. We rely on it for relief from the hot summer sun. A good-quality air conditioning system is essential as you don’t want your AC unit to get damaged now and then. It is an important appliance in your home, and you must care for and regularly maintain it for smooth functioning. Air conditioning units generally last around 12 to 15 years or more if homeowners regularly put in little effort.       

Is your AC overdue for some service or maintenance? Schedule a customer care service with OneDios, before the summer heat gets too scorching. Some of the most common mistakes that homeowners make with their HVAC systems are listed below:

  • Failing to Clean the Air Filters

The air filters filter airborne particles like dust, pet dander, pollens, and other allergens out of the air in your home. After a few months, these filters become clogged and can no longer do their job. A clogged filter inhibits airflow through your system, leading to decreased efficiency, overheating, and expensive repairs. A dirty filter could increase energy costs by 5-15% annually!

So, it’s essential to check the filter every one to three months and replace it when it appears dirty. Homeowners who do routine AC maintenance notice an increase in air quality. 

  • Installing a Small or Large HVAC System

Many homeowners don’t realize that their HVAC system is too small or large for their home, which can cause the unit to work harder than necessary or use too much energy. If you install a unit that is too small, it will cause the unit to work too hard to heat or cool the house, resulting in increased energy bills. HVAC systems that are too large can cause you to use more energy than necessary, wasting a lot of money.

Before choosing an AC unit for your home, consult a professional who can provide the proper guidance. Get in touch with OneDios to schedule a consultation and guidance session with an AC Customer Care Executive.

  • Using the Wrong Thermostat Settings

One common misconception is that turning the thermostat down by several degrees will make AC work harder and respond faster to cool your home. This is an air conditioning myth, and it can cost you more money and is bound to waste energy. Setting the thermostat lower doesn’t speed up the cooling process, as the air conditioner will cool the room at its own pace.

  • Performing Repairs and Maintenance Yourself

Many people attempt to perform home maintenance or repairs to save money, but this can damage the appliance. It’s essential to leave the work to a skilled and trained technician, as they have a trained eye and the right tools to perform the required repair or service quickly. It may cost money to hire a professional, but it would be lesser than what you may spend on fixing damages you may have caused. 

Get in touch with the professionals at OneDios to schedule an immediate AC Company inspection. AC units need to have periodic maintenance, to function efficiently.

  • Skipping Regular Maintenance

Regularly maintaining your unit is key to guaranteeing that your air conditioner lasts long. We take our HVAC systems for granted until something goes wrong. Between indoor and outdoor units of an AC, it’s a complex machine. Many different parts are required to work in harmony for the smooth functioning of your air conditioner.

Routine maintenance is essential to make sure everything is working. A trained technician can identify potential issues before becoming big problems. It also ensures that the unit is clean, reduces energy usage, and extends the lifespan of your AC unit.

Experience has taught us regular maintenance, and resolving issues timely are the most effective ways to prevent emergency repairs and breakdowns of electrical appliances. The technicians at OneDios are well-experienced and offer guidance on keeping your air conditioning running smoothly and efficiently throughout the summers.

Regular AC maintenance results in a longer unit lifespan, increased energy efficiency, cheaper repair costs, enhanced air quality, and a comfortable home temperature. With OneDios, you can contact any customer service within 60 seconds, regardless of the brand—Whirlpool, LG, Crompton, Bajaj, Panasonic, Sony, Voltas, Kevin, and so on. OneDios is the one-stop shop for all home appliance service and repair needs.

Use OneDios today and take good care of your AC!

Top 5 Mistakes TV Owners Make

top 5 mistake tv owner make

Television is one of the most used, valued, and expensive electronic devices. At home, most of our time is ideally spent in front of TV sets. Television has earned an important place in our lives as a source of entertainment, information, and family time. Taking care of your TV is a daily task that doesn’t require much work. But if properly taken care of, your TV will last longer and perform efficiently. Proper maintenance will not just save you from expensive last-minute repairs but also extend the life of your television.

Forgetting to switch off the TV set and leaving it dirty are some common mistakes we unknowingly make. These small mistakes can lead to significant expenses in repair, replacement of parts, and shortening the life of your TV set. Some of the common mistakes made by owners which harm the television set are:

  • Not Switching Off the TV 

A common habit of leaving the television running while sleeping or in the background when you are not using it is unsuitable for TV in the long run. Keeping the TV on even when it’s not in use will decrease its lifespan. This prolonged continuous use results in need for repairs and increased electricity bills. Make the habit of switching off the TV when not in use.

Televisions usually come with one or two years of manufacturer’s warranty, but in this case, you may need to get the TV repaired soon after the manufacturer’s warranty ends. At OneDios, all your television repair or maintenance services, AMC-related issues, extended warranties, and queries are resolved. OneDios makes it easy to book an appointment in just six clicks.

  • Keeping TV and its Surroundings Dirty

Dust and dirt are the biggest enemies of electrical appliances. Dust not only settles on a TV set’s surface but also finds a way inside it. It can cause the device to respond slowly.  Just wipe the TV with a dry, soft, anti-static microfiber cloth like the one used to clean eyeglasses and camera lenses. Gently wipe the screen but don’t press hard. If the screen is dirtier or has stains, use a very mild dish soap solution to wipe the screen. Panasonic recommends a ratio of 100:1 of water to dishwater soap. 

Never use window cleaners like colin to clean the TV screen. These chemicals can react with the materials the flat screen is made of or coated with, which could permanently discolour the screen or cause other kinds of damage. Clean the remote as well. Clean the area between the buttons with a cotton swab dampened with alcohol/water mix or sanitiser.

  • Not Using Surge Protectors

Television needs to be protected from sudden voltage spikes which damage electronic devices. Voltage fluctuation can occur after power blackouts when power is suddenly restored when there is a continuous power supply, and during weather events like thunder and lightning. A surge protector regulates the power supply and protects your electrical appliances, like TV, refrigerators, AC, etc., from sudden voltage surges. In case of a spark or short circuit, immediately contact a technician for service. If you want to book the television service of any brand, then download the OneDios app. Mention the issue you are facing, and the customer care service executive will call you.

  • Using High Contrast and Brightness Levels

Higher brightness and contrast settings of your TV set hurt your eyes, uses more energy, heats your TV quickly and decrease your TV’s picture quality and lifespan. It is advisable to keep brightness and contrast at an optimal level.

A universal remote control is crucial to ensure you control all your gadgets with a single remote control. Logitech Harmony remotes are compatible with 270,000 devices from 6,000 brands; SofaBaton can handle up to 15 devices, including both infrared- and Bluetooth-based AV devices, etc. are some of the options available.

  • Wall Bracket

The wall bracket that comes with your TV isn’t very flexible. If you want to be able to adjust the height, angle, and position of your TV, you may want to invest in a good flexible wall mount.

Tips to Increase the Lifespan of your RO

Lifespan of RO

Safe and clean water to drink and cook is one of the essential things in life. Drinking clean and pure water is only possible if you have a water purifying system at home. Purification is best done through RO (Reverse Osmosis). A good quality RO purifier can easily last more than ten years. Unbelievable. With proper maintenance and care, water purifiers can last longer and also provide clean and safe drinking water.

If your RO service is due, download the “OneDios” app and generate an RO service request in a few clicks.  You can also buy the extended warranty and AMCs for all RO brands like Kent, Blue Star, Havells,  AO SMITH RO, LIVPURE RO, AQUA FRESH RO, EUREKA FORBES RO, etc. 

The reverse osmosis (RO) system uses a multi-stage filtration process to remove different types of contaminants from water. It requires periodic maintenance to ensure the RO system continues to remove dissolved solids and that water quality remains high. Well, here are some ways by which you can improve the lifespan of your RO purifier.

  • Replace the filters regularly.

RO systems have a carbon pre-filter, a RO membrane, and a post-filter. Changing these filters on time is very important as impurities from water clog the filters after a while. Unclean filters affect the quality of water you use to drink and cook.

  • The carbon filter needs to be changed yearly as it filters chlorine and other dangerous contaminants and affects the water’s taste and odor.
  • The RO membrane is the heart of the RO system. The RO membrane must be changed every 3-4 months to prevent clogging of pores. It separates the contaminants from the water molecules. The filters protect the RO membrane.  A TDS meter can help you check if your RO membrane is functioning correctly. 
  • The sediment filter needs to be changed at least once a year. Maintaining your sediment filter helps keep out sediment, dirt, and slit. It protects dirt from getting to the RO membranes.
  • The postfilter polishes the water as it leaves the storage tank to the tap. It can be changed annually. It receives good RO water from the storage tank.

To get the filters replaced on time, download the OneDios app now. OneDios also helps you to keep track of your previous RO service details, the next RO service due date, and parts replaced. 

  • Keep a check on drips and leakages.

Drips and leakages by your RO purifier are not to be neglected. Leakages can lead to significant problems if left unattended. Please get the help of a professional to know the cause of the leakage and have it repaired. You can also download the Onedios app for RO service or an extended warranty or find out about AMC with just one click.

  • Drain the RO water tank

RO storage tank should be drained monthly. Draining allows the RO system to renew the water in the tank completely. When you only use a little water, the system only refills the top portion of the tank. Draining the tank periodically is essential to maintain water quality, freshness and taste.

  • Sanitize the RO water tank

Sanitizing is not required as often as draining, but it is recommended to do so yearly. Preferably, the tank’s sanitization and pipe cleaning should be done along with replacing RO membranes. It is required as all tanks grow slime after a while. If you think your RO water purifier isn’t working correctly or want to schedule a routine check-up or cleaning, download the OneDios app and book your RO service in 6 clicks. 

  • Regular cleaning should be done.

Generally, you should clean your RO purifier system at least every two months to prevent the accumulation of minerals, dirt, and other contaminants. It’s best to follow the recommendations for cleaning in your RO users’ manual. Avoid using harsh cleaning products on your RO system and gently wipe it. Keep its outer also free from dirt and dust.

For regular cleaning and service of your RO purifier, download the OneDios app and book your RO service in a few seconds.

  • Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)

AMCs make the task of maintaining RO water purifiers relatively easy and convenient. The quality of the water in your home plays an integral role in ensuring the safety of you and your loved ones. Download the OneDios app to find out about AMC of all leading RO brands like Kent, Blue Star, Havells,  AO SMITH RO, LIVPURE RO, AQUA FRESH RO, EUREKA FORBES RO, etc.

We often forget or avoid doing essential things like cleaning the RO regularly or leaving the drips and leakages as it is. Following these simple tips to maintain your RO purifier system will keep it in great shape and extend its lifespan. Please remember that if you want to get your RO service done, raise an RO service request with Onedios. You won’t need to call various people or search for phone numbers. OneDios provides an end-to-end solution for all your RO service and repair-related issues. OneDios also helps you to keep track of your previous RO service details and parts replaced.

Is Buying Extended Warranty Worth the Money?

Is buying

Buying appliances is expensive, and most of us like to get our money’s worth from our appliances. We don’t want to pay for significant repairs or replacements if unexpected breakdowns or malfunctions occur. Most new appliances come with a warranty, but you may like to extend the contract to protect your appliance for longer. This is where an appliance extended warranty comes in hand

An extended warranty is a form of insurance policy that covers you for repair costs and maintenance services after the manufacturer’s or retailer’s guarantee has expired. Extended warranties offer home appliance insurance for specific appliances within the home and are purchased before the expiry of the original warranty plan. However, each warranty only covers a single appliance. 

What Do Extended Warranties Cover?

Extended warranties cover damage caused by general wear and tear to mechanical and electric components of your home. Extended warranty coverage is known to cover all such predicted losses. Typical appliance extended warranties cover individual major home appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, clothes washers and dryers, and water heaters.

A warranty’s terms and conditions will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so it’s essential to carefully read the coverage details and fine print. Buying or renewing the warranty is more straightforward than people think it is. Ask questions while shopping and confirm precisely what types of repairs are covered should you need to file a claim.

Appliance Extended Warranty Pros

    • Level of comfort: After buying extended warranties, you have peace of mind knowing you are safe and won’t have to spend on repairs or replacements in case of appliance breakdowns. You share the burden of repair and replacement with the plan providers anytime, anywhere.
    • High repair cost: As modern appliances are expensive, so are their repair and maintenance costs. In the long run, paying extra every time the appliance needs service is inconvenient. Frequent maintenance costs a lot. An extended warranty works as a protective shield and saves you time, money, and hassle.
    • Increases the life of appliance: By providing timely and unlimited repairs, the warranty protects the appliances and gives them a long service life, making them live the expected duration and beyond.
  • Upfront pricing: You pay for the warranty while buying. There are no other hidden charges. Most contracts require you to pay the total amount at the time of purchase, so you’ll pay one fee and be set for the warranty term.
  • Customizable coverages: You should know what parts are covered and uncovered under warranty. Depending on your appliance and how much you pay, you might elect for an extended warranty that spans one year, three years, five years, or longer. Make sure that the plan you are purchasing covers all significant breakdowns.
  • Specialized technicians: Instead of looking for a service technician on your own, your extended warranty provider will ensure a qualified technician will make potential repairs.
  • Compare and buy: Purchasing extended warranty plans from dealers is not ideal. You should buy only after analyzing the available warranty plans offered by other companies. Compare the available extended warranty plans and then buy the most suitable one that fulfills your needs.

Appliance Extended Warranty Cons

  • May be expensive: Extended warranties may be worth it for larger appliances that cost thousands to repair. They make less sense for smaller or more affordable ones. Sometimes the cost of an extended warranty exceeds the cost of necessary appliance repairs. 
  • Limited coverage: Extended appliance warranties cover one item, and you’ll need to buy additional warranties for each appliance.
  • May go unused: While it’s helpful knowing coverage is there if needed, some people never use a warranty, making it feel like a waste of money. Extended warranties won’t help if they’re valid for five years, but your machine breaks in the first year (when the manufacturer’s warranty covers it) or the tenth year (when all contracts have expired).
  • No accident coverage: Most appliance extended warranties cover breakdowns from routine use, not accidents that cause damage. So if you drop a frying pan on your glass-top stove or damage your dishwasher using the wrong detergent, you’re on your own.

Are Appliance Extended Warranties Worth It?

An appliance extended warranty can help pay for unexpected breakdowns, repairs, and malfunctions in major home appliances. Purchasing warranty plans are a good choice if you have older appliances, expensive appliances with longer life, or if you know you won’t be able to handle any major repairs or replacement costs.

Before purchasing an appliance extended warranty, check for:

  • Cost: Compare the price of your extended warranty against the cost of the appliance and the average repair costs for that appliance.
  • Term: Extended warranties are available in several terms, ranging from one to five years. For most major appliances, especially, more extended warranties tend to offer the better possible return.
  • Coverage: Be sure to carefully review all the fine print to ensure that your extended warranty covers all significant breakdowns.

How Do You Buy an Appliance Extended Warranty?

You may be able to purchase an appliance extended warranty from the original appliance manufacturer, the dealer where you bought the machine or a third-party provider. 

There is a one-stop solution for all your queries, damage protection plans, purchase an extended warranty, AC extended warranty, Refrigerator extended warranty, and a lot more extended warranty services, and that is OneDios.
