Refrigerator Annual Maintenance Guide: Cost, Care, and What’s Included

When it comes to keeping your kitchen running smoothly, your refrigerator is the unsung hero. But like any hardworking appliance, it needs a little professional attention to stay at peak performance. For just $95 per year, we offer a complete Annual Fridge Maintenance Service designed to extend the life of your refrigerator, keep energy bills low, and help you avoid costly repairs down the road.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about refrigerator maintenance—what it includes, why it matters, and how you can benefit from scheduling your annual service.

What Is Refrigerator Annual Maintenance?

Annual refrigerator maintenance is a preventative service designed to keep your appliance safe and operating efficiently. Unlike repairs, which fix problems after they occur, maintenance focuses on spotting issues early, improving performance, and reducing wear and tear.

Our $95 fridge maintenance service includes:

  • Refrigerator Inspection – Checking components, seals, and temperature regulation.
  • Condenser Coil service – Removing dirt, dust, and buildup from coils.

  • Electrical Inspection – Ensuring connections, outlets, and wiring are safe.
  • Efficiency Check – Making sure airflow isn’t restricted for optimal cooling.

Advantages of Refrigerator Maintenance

Regular fridge service offers several benefits:

  • Energy Savings – Coils and proper ventilation mean your fridge uses less power.

  • Extended Lifespan – Preventative care helps your refrigerator last years longer.
  • Fewer Breakdowns – Early inspections catch small issues before they become major repairs.
  • Better Food Safety – Stable temperatures keep your food fresher and safer.
  • Peace of Mind – Knowing a licensed technician has thoroughly checked your appliance.

What’s Included in the $95 Service?

Our annual refrigerator maintenance package is designed to be thorough yet affordable. Here’s what you get for $95:

  • Full Refrigerator Inspection – Assessing seals, thermostats, fans, and overall condition.
  • Coil Service – Dust and dirt buildup removed from condenser coils and vents.

  • Preventative Care – Lubrication, adjustments, and small fixes to prevent wear.
  • Electrical Safety Check – Testing outlets, power cords, and connections.
  • Ventilation Optimization – Ensuring your fridge has proper airflow to run efficiently.

How Much Does Refrigerator Maintenance Cost?

We’ve simplified fridge care with a flat annual service fee:

  • Annual Fridge Maintenance: $95
  • Includes inspection and preventative care

  • No hidden fees, no repairs—this service is focused solely on maintenance

Compared to unexpected refrigerator repair costs that often range between $200–$600, annual service is an affordable way to avoid headaches later.

How To Maintain Your Refrigerator Between Services

While our annual maintenance covers the big items, homeowners can take simple steps to keep their refrigerator running smoothly throughout the year:

  • Inspect door seals regularly to prevent air leaks.
  • Keep the fridge 2/3 full—too empty or too packed reduces efficiency.
  • Check temperature settings—ideally 37–40°F for the fridge, 0°F for the freezer.
  • Vacuum around the base of your fridge to reduce dust buildup.
  • Avoid blocking vents inside the fridge to maintain proper airflow.

How Long Does a Refrigerator Last With Proper Care?

On average, a refrigerator lasts 12–15 years. With annual maintenance, many units reach 15–20 years of reliable service, especially higher-end models. Skipping maintenance often leads to early breakdowns and higher energy bills.

FAQ
