New Years Appliance Resolutions
Planning Your New Appliance Purchases Considerations for Buying New Appliances Here's a New Year Resolution list for planning your appliance purchases in 2014: Take inventory of your potential appliance needs by determining the age and condition of your existing appliances. If your washing machine is 12 years old, and has been making funny noises, you should anticipate that you'll be needing a new washer sooner rather than later. Budget for appliance replacement. Begin setting aside money to replace that clunky old washing machine. Even if you can fund part of the purchase from this appliance reserve fund, it might mean the difference between getting a "bare bones" product versus the one you really want and need. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) carries most major brands and models. For example, you can select a new washer from among great brand names such as Frigidaire, GE, LG, Maytag, and Whirlpool. Some appliances get replaced before they have failed, such as in a new kitchen remodel project. Here too, you can do some advance planning. If you're working with a design firm, they can help you get started. The professionals at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) are always there to answer your questions and guide you through the process. Appliances are a big part of a kitchen remodel. Don't blow your budget on granite countertops and fancy cabinets only to find out you can't afford the appliances you've always dreamed of. Allow sufficient upfront order and delivery time for special orders. -

Appliance Packages that Look Great and Save Money
Reasons to Buy Appliance Packages Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Appliance Packages Customers want to know whether it's a good idea to buy appliances in a package or if it's better to just buy them one at a time. It really depends on your individual situation. For example, suppose your old countertop microwave oven goes out and you need to replace it. Obviously, this situation hardly calls for replacing all your kitchen appliances. At the other extreme, if you're building a new house, it only makes sense to install a complete updated set of appliances in your new home. You can certainly buy each appliance in your home separately and mix brands, but there are some very good reasons to buy a matching single brand kitchen package. A single brand and style will very likely give you a matched, integrated look. You could get very upset with a blue display on the controls of your oven accompanied by a green display on the built-in microwave above it - not to mention a bulky pro-style handle on your dishwasher and a sleek euro-style handle on the refrigerator. For some people, this wouldn't make a difference, but for others it would be a constant source of annoyance. It's great to have a unified look which not only ties the elements of your kitchen together, but also enhances resale value. A single brand kitchen can often save you a lot of money. Look for manufacturer rebates on multiple appliances or FREE goods -

3 Appliances that keep your kitchen cool
Want to keep your kitchen cool this summer? Try these appliances from Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Summer is here and hot kitchens are the norm. How can appliances help keep your kitchen cool? Take a look at three appliances that will do the job: Maytag Double Oven RangeThe Maytag Gemini double oven range features a small oven over the main oven. The convenience of cooking meals in the smaller upper oven has the added benefit of not needing to heat up that big oven for a small meal. It will cook a pork tenderloin, roast a chicken, or even bake a lasagna. All in the same time or less than the big oven. GE Advantium® Speed Cook Micro-HoodWhile microwave ovens cook quickly without heating up the kitchen, their performance can leave you cold. Breads and other baked products tend to dry out. Meats don't brown or carmelize. There is a new generation of "speed cook" appliances that combine microwave cooking with other methods to get the best of both worlds. GE's Advantium® system uses a combination of microwave power, halogen lights, and conventional elements to cook faster than a conventional oven, yet produce oven quality taste and texture that cannot be achieved with microwave alone. The Advantium® is available as a micro-hood and a built-in oven; in both 120v and 240v versions. Understandably, the 120v Advantium® is not quite as speedy as the 240v -

Customers Write (26) Kristen "likes" UAKC on social media Kristen E. Altadena, CA So I've started looking up small businesses on Facebook and Twitter because I know a lot of them are starting to offer discounts to their social media fans, and since I just moved into a new place and need a bunch of new kitchen stuff, I thought I'd try to find some appliance places on these sites. Most of the places I searched for didn't have social media accounts, but I was pleased to find that UAKC does and they do indeed offer specials for their fans.
