Tampa through the year
Summer afternoon thunderstorms bring frequent lightning and power surges that can damage appliance control boards. Unplugging sensitive appliances during severe storms and a whole-house surge protector installed by an electrician reduce the risk.
Hurricane season runs June through November. Prepare refrigerators and freezers before storms and check temperatures after outages.
Garage laundry and second refrigerators face heat and humidity much of the year, so clean coils and vents more often.

Tampa appliance repair questions
Can lightning damage appliances?
Surges can damage control boards. A whole-house surge protector, installed by an electrician, reduces the risk.
Is Tampa water hard?
Moderately hard to hard depending on source.
Should I unplug appliances in storms?
Unplugging electronics during severe storms reduces surge risk.
Why do appliance control boards fail after storms in Tampa?
Tampa Bay sees frequent summer lightning, and surges travel through power lines into appliance electronics. Surge protection installed by an electrician and unplugging sensitive appliances during severe storms reduce the risk.
Is my dryer slower in summer?
Humid air holds more moisture, so drying can take a little longer, but a big change usually means a restricted vent. Check the outside hood flap first.
