How to get FREE Appliances
Free Appliances with Purchase at UAKCYou really can get free appliances from some appliance manufacturers if you are buying other appliances at the same time. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) carries several brands who offer free appliances with purchase.What's the catch? Why do some manufacturers give away a free dishwasher for example when you buy a range? One way to think about this is that there is a fixed cost to acquire a customer. Appliance companies spend millions on the marketing of their products. The cost of acquiring a single customer is the same whether that customer buys a single appliance or an entire kitchen full of appliances. So the marketing cost of selling each incremental appliance is essentially zero. There's more, but no matter how you look at it, when you are in the market for new kitchen appliances, a free dishwasher is a powerful incentive.Here are a few examples of free appliance offers that are currently available.ThermadorONE - TWO - FREE™BY PURCHASING SELECT THERMADOR APPLIANCES, YOU CAN GETA DISHWASHER AND VENTILATION HOOD FOR FREE* Save up to $6,097 on this promotion.

Hide your Refrigerator vs Display your Refrigerator
Refrigerators Can Strut or they can DisappearMake your choice at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterUniversal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) is your best choice in Southern California for refrigerators of all styles and colors. Take a look at just a few of the different configurations of refrigerators available today at UAKC.Refrigerators that disappearSome refrigerators can be hidden from view with cabinet panels so that they blend into the surrounding cabinetry. When even hinges, grills, and toe-kicks are invisible the refrigerator qualifies for the designation of "integrated".The photo below depicts a GE Monogram Integrated refrigerator and wine storage unit.Non-integrated refrigeratorsIt's a matter of degree since some refrigerators have cabinet panels that match, but parts such as hinges or grills are still visible. These built-in refrigerators are not integrated, but still match existing cabinetry. The photo below shows a Sub Zero built-in refrigerator with cabinet panels that is not integrated because the hinges and toekick are showing.A refrigerator doesn't have to be built-in to accept cabinet panels. The french door refrigerator below from Jenn-Air is a cabinet depth model. While it isn't going to be flush with surrounding cabinets it does blend in nicely, and is much less costly than a built-in refrigerator.Refrigerators that show-offThere is also a school of thought that a refrigerator should be a showcase and the center of attention in the kitchen. No refrigerator does a better job of calling attention -

3 Bad Ideas for Major Appliances
Avoid These 3 Mistakes When Buying AppliancesThey see a lot of customers every day at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center, and most purchases are straightforward. But, once in a while there are just situations where appliance applications and usages don't quite make sense. Here are 3 of them:1. Don't buy an Energy Star refrigerator and then hook up the old energy wasting refrigerator in the garage.One of the major differences between refrigerators built today and those that date back to the 90's or before is energy usage. Many Energy Star refrigerators today will use about the same amount of energy as a light bulb. It's really remarkable just how much electricity you're saving with that new refrigerator. Why then would you buy a new energy efficient refrigerator and then take that 20 year old energy hog refrigerator and plug it in in your garage where it will run day and night? The old refrigerator needs to be taken out of service, and the refrigerant needs to be properly discharged from the unit and recycled. Ask your salesperson at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) about this.2. Don't buy a new dishwasher with a protruding handle for a corner location. The adjacent cabinet drawer will not open.Locating a dishwasher in a corner cabinet. is generally a bad idea. Even worse is putting a dishwasher with a handle in a corner location so that the handle prevents the -

Getting Cooktops and Ovens that Fit
Finding a cooktop or oven that fits your cutoutUniversal Appliance and Kitchen Center is Headquarters for Built-In AppliancesIf you're remodeling an older home, and using existing countertops and cabinets, you may encounter difficulty finding just the right size cooktop or wall oven to replace the existing appliance. In Southern California there are many nice homes in mature neighborhoods that could use an appliance update. However, in some cases there are some older appliances that need replacing, but may take a bit of work finding replacement models that fit. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) can help. Here are some suggestions for odd sized ovens and cookotps.Gas Double Wall Ovens24" wide double gas ovens are common in some neighborhoods. While 24" cutouts are not used much in new construction these days, it does appear that both Maytag and Frigidaire still make 24" double gas wall ovens. First measure your existing appliance dimensions. Then check with the folks at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) to review your options.Believe it or not, there were some 30" wall ovens that required a 33" cabinet. If you are replacing one of these wall ovens, you may find that another 30" wall oven will be too small for the cutout. In this case, you'd need a filler or trim kit of some kind.Trim KitsSpeaking of trim kits, Micro-Trim makes trim kits specifically for ovens, microwave ovens, and cooktops. They may prove to be indispensable if you can't find
