It's important to measure your existing kitchen cabinets, counters and floor space when looking to fit new kitchen appliances.

Are you tired of your cabinets hanging off hinges and kitchen appliances that look as if they came off the pages of a 1980s’ catalogue? It may be time to either renovate your kitchen or at least replace your tired, old appliances.

Let us help you get started. Here’s what you need to know before you go appliance shopping and how to get the best appliances at the best deals:

Measure Your Existing Space

Your search for new appliances will be made easier by knowing the space you have to work with. Your local appliance experts will then be able to apply their experience and knowledge with the information available and will be able to help you better.

When measuring an existing space, make sure to cover all areas and use a tape measure and straight edge for accuracy. Use a calculator to figure out area space and make sure to write down all your measurements.

For the best calculations, make sure to include:

Counters, with kitchen sink, to see which size of built-in dishwasher, wine fridge and/or counter-top cook range will work best with the space.

The space in between floating wall cabinetry to property fit kitchen ventilation such as range hoods and exhaust fans.

The floor space around your fridge along with the width and height around the area, making sure that any obstructions won’t impede added features such as French doors or freezer drawers.

Renovate your Kitchen to Fit your New Appliances

When renovating your kitchen, it helps to think about your “must-have” appliances before you start knocking down any walls or measuring out counter space. Consider what you really want in cooking appliances.

Are you dead set on having the latest convection-steam wall oven and/or one of those professional style dual fuel gas ranges?

Would your family appreciate a luxury beverage fridge such as Marvel appliances’ professional 24” beverage centre with 3-in-1 convertible shelves?

Knowing which appliances are the most important to your family will help narrow down your search and help you determine your kitchen layout and dimension details. Either way, your local appliance experts will be able to help fit your space as it best suits your lifestyle.

Ask about Manufacturer Promotions

When the time comes to visit your local appliance store or appliance warehouse, ask whether there are any current manufacturer promotions available. Some of these promotions are offered for a limited time only but allow you to save on packages, where you can purchase a full kitchen appliance set up and more.

BC appliances’ experts at stores such as Genier’s Appliances in Vernon, BC often feature monthly manufacturer promotions. This includes special pricing on Whirlpool appliances’ brand of fridges, dishwashers and other appliances.

For those looking for the best brands in luxury appliances, Thermador appliances also offer an average package in the $20-30,000 price range.
