Jacksonville through the year
Hard aquifer water scales dishwashers, washers and ice makers all year. Rinse aid, descaling cycles and water softening help.
From June to November, hurricane watches are the signal to turn the refrigerator and freezer to their coldest settings and fill empty freezer space with frozen water; afterwards, check temperatures before restocking.
Heat and humidity load garage refrigerators and dryers, so clean coils and vents often.

Jacksonville appliance repair questions
Is Jacksonville water hard?
Yes. JEA's water quality report gives figures.
Should I soften my water?
Many homes do to protect appliances.
What should I do after a hurricane outage?
Check temperatures and food safety before restocking.
How does JEA's groundwater affect my dishwasher?
Floridan Aquifer water is hard, so minerals coat the heating element and block spray arm holes over time. Use rinse aid, run a cleaning cycle monthly and clean the spray arms if glasses start coming out cloudy.
Are garage refrigerators a problem in Jacksonville?
They can be. Summer garage heat pushes many refrigerators past their rated room temperature, so the unit runs constantly and wears out sooner. Shade, ventilation and clean coils help.
What should I check after a tropical storm?
Check refrigerator and freezer temperatures, look for water around washers and dishwashers if the power surged or flickered, and have any appliance that sat in floodwater inspected before use.
