  Custom Paneled Appliances vs. Stainless Steel Appliances: Which Style Is Right for Your Home? When you’re planning a kitchen remodel, few decisions influence the overall mood of the space more than appliance finishes. Custom panels create an integrated, architectural look. Stainless steel makes a classic, confident statement. With Sub-Zero Refrigeration and Cove Dishwashing, either option delivers an elevated aesthetic. All that’s left to decide is how you want your kitchen to feel day to day. Below, we break down where each approach shines, what to consider during planning, and how to create a cohesive suite that fits your style, space, and routine. The Integrated Look: Life With Custom Paneled Appliances In kitchens where the sightlines are open—flowing into living and dining areas—custom paneled appliances can make the entire room feel calmer and more intentional. With custom panels applied to the appliance fronts, Sub-Zero and Cove blend into the millwork allowing the...

How to Care for Your Refrigerator in the Heat (And Keep It Running Smoothly All Summer) Summer’s here—and while we’re all doing what we can to stay cool, don’t forget that your refrigerator is working overtime too. With higher temperatures and more frequent opening and closing (hello, popsicles!), it’s important to give your fridge a little extra TLC. At Henry’s Electric, we’ve been helping Berkshire County households stay cool and comfortable since 1946. Here are our top tips to make sure your refrigerator keeps its cool all season long: 1. Keep It Full (But Not Packed Tight) Your fridge actually runs more efficiently when it’s moderately full—items help maintain the cool temperature. But if it’s overloaded, air can’t circulate properly, which forces the motor to work harder. If you're running low on food, even just placing a few pitchers of water inside can help stabilize internal temps. 2. Give It Some Breathing Room Make sure there’s at least a few inches of space betwe...

  At Henry's Electric, we believe that a little maintenance goes a long way when it comes to protecting your investment in major appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, and washers and dryers. Keeping your appliances in good shape not only extends their lifespan but can also help you avoid costly repairs down the road. Here are some simple, effective appliance maintenance tips you can do at home: 1. Keep Your Refrigerator Coils Clean Your refrigerator's condenser coils (located either behind or underneath the fridge) can collect dust and dirt over time, making the appliance work harder than necessary. Cleaning the coils every 6 months with a vacuum or coil brush can improve efficiency and help prevent breakdowns. Pro Tip: Always unplug the fridge before cleaning to stay safe! 2. Check Your Washing Machine Hoses Washing machine hoses can wear out and crack, leading to potential leaks or even flooding. Inspect the hoses (both hot and cold) every 6 months for an...
