Appliance Maintenance A to Z: Don't Make These Mistakes!

If your fridge dies or your dryer takes forever, are you the “just go buy a new one” type? 😅
You might be wasting thousands of dollars you don’t need to spend.

In this episode, I sit down with Nate Stevens, second-generation owner of A to Z Appliance Service, a family business that’s been serving the Miami Valley since 1961. What started with Nate’s dad, a toolbox, and a passion for fixing things has grown into a multi-location company in Ohio, Texas, and Arkansas — all built on honesty, relationships, and doing right by people.

We talk about way more than appliances:

🔧 In this conversation, you’ll learn:

Why people replace perfectly good fridges, dryers & washers when it’s often a simple, affordable fix

The #1 mistakes that kill appliances early (and how to avoid them)

Easy things you can do at home to extend the life of your:

✅ Refrigerator (clean those condenser coils!)

✅ Dryer (check that vent!)

✅ High-efficiency washers & dishwashers (use cleaning tablets!)

How A to Z went from a 2-man family operation to multiple locations around the country

Why Nate refuses to have his techs work weekends and prioritizes family time

How giving back to local causes and food pantries is built into their business

The mindset it takes to grow a business and protect your home life

This episode is part homeowner survival guide, part small business masterclass.

If you:

Have an appliance acting up

Are tempted to “just buy a new one”

Or you’re an entrepreneur trying to build a values-driven company…

👉 This conversation is 100% worth your time.
