We are trained and certified to restore mold damage in commercial properties in Hawaii and Maui.

Aloha! Our local Hawaii and Maui teams respond to property damage caused by appliance failure throughout the year. For over twenty years, our locally owned and operated franchise has been restoring fire and water damage for Keauhou locals. Here are some common causes of appliance failure during December:

Power Surges

Electrical storms and power surges can occur in any season, including December. Sudden power surges can damage sensitive electronic appliances such as televisions, computers, and refrigerators. Using surge protectors and unplugging appliances during storms can help mitigate this risk.

Humidity and Moisture

During the rainy season, excess humidity and moisture can lead to corrosion and electrical problems in appliances. Appliances like air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and refrigerators may be affected if not properly maintained or if seals and gaskets deteriorate.

Salt Air Corrosion

In coastal areas of Hawaii, like Keauhou, appliances exposed to salt air, such as outdoor grills or air conditioning units, may experience corrosion.

To reduce the risk of appliance failure, it's important to perform regular maintenance, follow manufacturer recommendations, and address any issues promptly. Additionally, investing in surge protectors and considering the unique environmental factors in your specific location, such as humidity and salt air, can help extend the life of your appliances.
