These 5 things at home must be thrown away; keeping them will only waste money
Every item in our home has its own service life. For example, toothbrushes should be replaced every three months, towels every 2-4 months, and pillows also have a service life, about one year. Today, Huahua wants to talk to everyone about the service life of household appliances. Let everyone know that once these appliances reach a certain age, they can no longer be used; continuing to use them at home will only waste money!
"Expired" air conditioners
The safe service life of an air conditioner is 12 years. Many people can easily notice that sometimes when the air conditioner is turned on for a long time, it seems to have no effect, and that is because it may be nearing its "service life"! An "overage" air conditioner not only has a reduced ability to regulate indoor temperature, but also consumes a lot of electricity. If your home's air conditioner has this situation, it is probably because the air conditioner is too "old." The internal parts of such an air conditioner have actually aged quite a bit, and there is really no need to repair it.
"Expired" water heaters
Water heaters also have a safe service life. The safe service life of a water heater is about 8 years. Some people may say that theirs has been used for over ten years without any problems. Yes, perhaps it really has been used for over ten years without problems, but that does not guarantee that all other water heaters are the same. A water heater used for a long time will develop a lot of scale, causing the heated water to become cloudy. In addition, the heating effect also becomes poor. There is also the problem of electric leakage and electric shock, and I hope everyone will pay attention.
"Expired" gas stoves
The safe service life of a gas stove is 5-8 years. A gas stove beyond this age is very dangerous. Due to the aging of internal parts, it is very likely to cause gas leaks, and may even cause terrifying outcomes such as gas explosions. Therefore, be sure to check the components of the gas stove on time, and do not be greedy for cheapness and keep using an overage gas stove.
"Expired" refrigerators
The refrigerators we use also have a safe service life. The state stipulates that the safe service life of a refrigerator is 10 years. Because what is stored in the refrigerator is all food that goes into the mouth, and food is the first necessity of the people, an overage refrigerator actually has very poor freshness-preserving ability, so everyone must pay attention. Moreover, an aging refrigerator is not only noisy when used, but also consumes electricity, and may also leak water. In short, everyone should pay attention to the problem of using overage refrigerators, to prevent food that is not kept fresh from causing food poisoning.
"Expired" washing machines
The service life of a washing machine is also between 8-10 years. An overage washing machine not only cannot wash clothes cleanly, but also carries countless bacteria. Not only that, an overage washing machine is very prone to water leakage, and the washing machine is connected to electrical wires, which makes electric leakage very likely. This is very dangerous, and I hope everyone will pay more attention.
Have these 5 "expired" household appliances "scared" you? Everyone should quickly check whether your home also has these "overage" household appliances, and do not keep them at home wasting money anymore!
