When was your house built? If it was even as recent as 10 years ago, your appliances are outdated. What!?!

In our life and times, technology is improving, being reimagined and reinvented at the speed of light.

Kitchens in particular have progressed so quickly that it’s only prudent we discuss all that is new and improved. Whether you’re a basic cook or professional chef, an upgraded kitchen environment is needed and helpful.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. It serves so many functions; eatery, homework station, gathering place. Does it not make sense to attempt to make the area as user friendly and life altering as possible?

Refrigerators have come a long, long way from their inception. Originally, the “icebox” literally tells us how it was used. It was a box in which a block of ice was placed to keep food fresh. Now a refrigerator can email you a grocery list of items you are low on. Entering a modern kitchen, you may not even be able to discern where the refrigerator is in the room. The faces of these appliances can be made to match the cabinetry. Or… there’s even the option of having the cold storage places be split up over your kitchen. Refrigerator drawers, freezer drawers, drink only storage and temperature control specific drawers can be installed within the cabinetry itself. Literally, the options are endless and customizable with refrigeration for your kitchen. How would these options change the way you use your kitchen? Would you be more efficient? Of course you would! Technology in the kitchen is truly amazing!

The oven also takes center stage within a kitchen. It’s the workhorse whether in combination with the range top or wall mounted, an oven is mandatory. And boy or boy, the options! Traditionally, ovens cook with high heat, but the type of heat you can utilize now is incredible. Cooking modes can even be changed with settings from bake, broil and roast to air fry and convection. Some models even offer a new speed cooking setting. Speed cooking uses convection with microwave settings to cook food in much less time. Wouldn’t that make cooking Thanksgiving dinner more appealing? And have you ever wished for a double oven? If you have a large family, entertain quite frequently or maybe you have a side gig that requires baking, the advancements in ovens are worth investigating.

So we can now store our food better with refrigeration benefits and cook our food more efficiently with oven and range advancements, don’t you think we should clean better too? Dishwashers are the saviors in kitchens. And yes, these appliances have stepped up too. With more space inside to fit more dishes, better washing techniques and lowered sound levels a new dishwasher should also be on your kitchen remodel wish list.

To bring your the heart of your home up to speed, evaluate your needs, estimate your budget and consult a professional to implement your upgrade. The improvements with most definitely help you function better and put ease into your lifestyle.
