Household appliances are not designed to last forever. Daily use coupled with age will eventually cause a malfunction or breakdown that would need addressing if your home life is to go back to normal. Fortunately, this does not automatically mean that you have to replace the entire appliance. In some cases, purchasing replacement parts will restore its functionality. However, you need to have several things in mind to ensure that you are investing in the right parts.
Firstly, not all appliance parts are built equal. While third party parts may offer an affordable replacement solution, it is always best to purchase parts from the original manufacturer so you do not risk compromising the performance of your appliance. Secondly, only a licensed technician should carry out the installation of the replacement appliance parts. Read on for more of what you should know before purchasing appliance parts in the posts listed here.
Commercial ranges are tough and meant to last while being used in very busy circumstances. They are excellent for use in residential kitchens for families who have to cook for a lot of people each day, or in homes where one person runs, say, a private catering business. But the ranges are different from residential ranges, and you'll need to be prepared to make some adjustments.
Check if You Need a Permit or Inspection
Commercial ranges may require different fuel lines, different ventilation, and permits, especially if the kitchen has to be renovated so the range will fit. Generally, the company selling the commercial range to you should know, and if you're in the process of having a custom home built for you, the builder will certainly know. The permitting process itself is simple, but if the office approving the permits is very busy, it could take time to get approval. Start the process as soon as you can.
Have a Plan for Handling the Extra Heat
Commercial ranges get hot. They are very sturdy appliances meant to handle a lot of cooking, and they heat up and can retain heat well. But that does mean that your kitchen will heat up, too, more than it would with a smaller residential range. (When you triple the available burners and add a few more ovens to use, that creates a lot more heat.) You'll need to have a vent hood made for use with commercial ranges, which can help somewhat, but the vent hoods are more for clearing fumes and odours. Make sure the windows and general ventilation in the kitchen allow for good airflow that helps move that heat out of the house.
Have Fun Looking at the Extras, but Remember Heat and Space
Commercial ranges can really be an interesting and versatile addition to a residential kitchen because they come with so many extras. You can find versions with separate pizza ovens and both fan-assisted and non-assisted ovens, built-in grill tops, and more. It's a lot of fun seeing what you can get, especially if you can afford a lot of these extras. However, keep heat and space in mind. The more cooking ability you have with this range, the more heat you'll have in the kitchen. That's not pleasant in the summertime. Space may also be a problem if you decide you want that huge range with all the options and it turns out to be just a few centimetres too long for the space in your kitchen. Yes, you can modify cabinetry to let the range fit, but that's extra work.
A commercial range is very good for situations where you need to do a lot of cooking on a regular basis. These ranges are different from residential ranges, however, and you do need to be aware of what you're getting into when you buy one. They work well and are a valuable addition once you get used to using them.
