Q: Can I use my water heater circuit breaker with other appliances?

• <div><p>It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time. </p></div>

Q: How often should you calibrate an oven?

• <div><p>You should check and calibrate your oven every year. Older ovens tend to be less accurate as they take on more wear and tear. If you need to recalibrate your oven more frequently, then it&rsquo;s time to call a repair technician.</p></div>

Q: Can a stove last 20 years?

• <div><p>While most stoves won&rsquo;t last two decades, some do! Gas stoves and pellet stoves are more likely to go the distance than electric stoves or induction cooktops, and maintenance can go a long way toward increasing longevity.</p></div>

The actual tech who came to the house was great. Paddocks itself was marginal. It two over 2 weeks to fix the appliance. It took a week just to get the initial appointment. I would hire again ONLY because there are no other options in the community. If there were other options I'd look into them.
