John's Adventures, No. 2 — Brian does the unlocking. John does the welcome.

Nobody thinks about their fridge until the morning it's warm inside. 🧊

And in the middle of summer, that's the worst morning to find out. Here's the honest bit most people don't clock: a fridge or freezer rarely dies overnight — it drops hints first. Three worth a quick check:

❄️ It's humming louder than it used to
❄️ The freezer's frosting up faster than normal
❄️ It never seems to click off any more

None of those mean panic. They mean it's working harder than it should, and it's worth a chat before it quits on a full weekly shop. Ring us and we'll talk it through like we'd talk our own family through it — sometimes that's "keep it going, here's what to check", sometimes it's "honestly, it's had its day." If it's the latter, the new one arrives delivered, installed and running cold, and the old one goes away with our own local crew — on a day that suits you.

Out of interest: how old is the fridge in your kitchen?

John's Adventures, No. 3 — a new appliance arrived this morning. Sort of.

The little habits that quietly add to your energy bill. 💡 Small changes can mean real savings — and we’re always happy to talk them through. Real people, real advice, since 1971. 📍 Pop into the showroom on High Street. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #EnergySaving #Appliances

Be honest — when did you last defrost your freezer?

If the answer is "there's a solid block of ice round the peas and I've been meaning to sort it," this one's worth two minutes of your evening.

The Hisense Total No Frost fridge freezer does exactly what the name says. No more waiting for it to thaw with towels on the floor, no more chipping ice out with a spoon, no more that-drawer-won't-open. It just quietly gets on with keeping your food cold — which, in the middle of a hot July, is the one job in the house you really don't want going wrong.

Plenty of room in the fridge for the big weekly shop, and a proper freezer underneath for batch-cooking and stocking up before the kids are home all summer.

Hisense Total No Frost fridge freezer — £369.00 (was £399).

Here's the part the big websites can't do: we'll deliver it to the room you want it in, get it running, and lift your old fridge freezer out to the van — you don't touch a thing. Our own crew, real Scunthorpe faces, delivering across North Lincolnshire and beyond. Not sure you're in the area? Pop your postcode in at johnselectrical.co.uk and it'll tell you straight away.

Come and have a look at it in the shop, or give us a ring and we'll talk it through — no pressure, just honest advice from people who've been doing this on the high street since 1971.

Call 01724 844040 (Electrical Appliances Direct, 2-4a Allanby Street, DN15 6EL) or 01724 843800 (Johns Electrical, 142 High Street, DN15 6EN). Text 07401 332844 or WhatsApp 07448 567594 if that's easier. Or see it online at johnselectrical.co.uk.

John's Adventures, No. 4 — behind the scenes at goods-in.

Most fridges run happiest around 3–5°C. Too cold wastes energy; too warm and your food suffers. Not sure where yours should be? Ask us. 🧊 Real people, real advice, since 1971. 📞 01724 843800 #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #FridgeTips

The £5-note trick that tells you in ten seconds whether your fridge is quietly costing you a fortune this summer. 🧊

Grab a fiver (a strip of paper does the same job). Shut it in the fridge door, then give it a gentle tug:

1️⃣ Slides straight out? The seal's gone — the door isn't gripping, so it's letting warm air in and making the fridge work overtime in this heat.
2️⃣ While you're there, dust down the coils at the back or underneath — clogged coils make the compressor graft for nothing.
3️⃣ Spot thick ice building up inside? That's usually the first sign something's not sealing right.

Ten seconds, no tools, no engineer — the kind of quick check we'd tell our own family to do before a hot spell makes a struggling fridge worse.

If it fails the test, don't panic — it's just handy to know early. Give us a ring for honest advice, no jargon and no pressure. And if the seal's gone for good, we'll bring a replacement, fit it properly and wheel the tired one away — no fuss. Delivered and installed by our own crew, across North Lincolnshire and beyond (pop your postcode in at johnselectrical.co.uk to check).

John's Adventures, No. 5 — eleven o'clock at the shop. All quiet. Too quiet.

North Lincolnshire schools break up a week on Friday.

That's the last day — Friday the 17th — and then six whole weeks of the fridge door swinging open every twenty minutes, of "there's nothing to eat" said in front of a full shelf, of the washing basket never quite reaching the bottom. If your fridge, freezer, washer or dishwasher has been making a funny noise or quietly giving up for a while now, this is the fortnight to get it sorted — before the holidays put it through its paces.

We're a family business that's been on the Scunthorpe high street since 1971, so we know exactly what a house full of kids does to a kitchen in the summer. Come and have a proper chat with someone who's fitted hundreds of them — no pressure, just honest advice on what'll actually cope with your family.

And when you're ready, our own local crew handles the lot: we'll bring the new one in, plumb it in or wire it up and make sure it's running, then take the old appliance away with us — all in one visit, on a date and time that suits you. No agency couriers, no leaving it in a box on the path.

Most of North Lincolnshire is covered — pop your postcode in at johnselectrical.co.uk to check we reach you.

John's Adventures, No. 6 — right on schedule.

Fan, grill, bottom heat… those oven symbols actually mean something. Baffled by yours? We’ll happily walk you through it. 🔥 Real people, real advice, since 1971. 📍 Two Scunthorpe showrooms. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #OvenTips

Doncaster. Grimsby. Cleethorpes. Goole. Gainsborough. Brigg. Barton.

If you thought we were just a Scunthorpe shop, our delivery crew would like a word.

We're a family business that's been on the high street since 1971, but the van gets about a fair bit further than the town it parks in. Wherever you are in the patch, it's our own van and our own faces at the door — no agency couriers, no "leave it in the hallway and good luck." Real local lads who'll tell you their names on the doorstep, route your new appliance out to you, carry it in, get it set up where you want it, and take the old one back with them when they go.

Not sure if you're in the patch? Pop your postcode in at johnselectrical.co.uk and it'll tell you straight away. Or just give us a ring — there's always a real person on the other end.

Whereabouts are you? Drop your town in the comments — you might be closer than you think.

John's Adventures, No. 7 — how's your Saturday lie-in going?

What's the OLDEST appliance still going in your house?

The freezer in the garage that's older than the kids. The little radio that's outlived three kettles. The washing machine that simply will not die.

We've had two shops in town since 1971, so there's a fair chance a few of you are living with something we sold your mum and dad. That's the bit we're proudest of — things built to last, sold by people you could actually talk to.

And when one of yours finally clocks off — no rush, they've earned a good innings — you know where we are.

Some tumble dryers cost a lot more to run than others. If yours is thirsty, it might be worth a chat about a more efficient one. Real people, real advice, since 1971. 📍 Pop in on High Street. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #TumbleDryer #EnergySaving

John's Adventures, No. 8 — out on the coast road this weekend. Give the little blue van a wave if you spot it.

Do you really need to rinse before loading the dishwasher? The answer might surprise you. Ask us next time you’re in. 🍽️ Real people, real advice, since 1971. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #DishwasherTips

Most washing machines come in white. This one turned up in black and quietly refused to blend in with the rest of the kitchen.

It's the Samsung 9kg 1400 Spin (SAMWW90CGC04DABEU), and it's £399.99 (was £449.99). The 9kg drum is the bit that actually earns its keep once the school holidays land on Friday — six weeks of PE kit, towels, muddy knees and the never-ending pile by the back door. It'll swallow a proper family wash without you standing over it twice a day.

And because it's a bit of a looker, it's the sort of machine you don't mind having on show. Deep matte black, glass door, the works. We're a family shop on the high street since 1971, so if you want to know whether it suits your kitchen, ring us and talk it through with an actual person who's stood next to one.

When you're ready, here's how it works with us: we'll carry it in, plumb it up, run the first cycle to check it's watertight, and take your old washer away with us — our own local crew, not an agency courier who leaves it in the box. We deliver across North Lincolnshire and beyond; pop your postcode in at johnselectrical.co.uk to check you're in.

Not sure if 9kg is right for your household? That's exactly what we're here for — give us a shout and we'll be straight with you.

John's Adventures, No. 11 — hot enough for you? One of us has a system.

Is an expensive oven really better than a budget one? Sometimes yes, sometimes no — we’ll give you the honest answer. Real people, real advice, since 1971. 📍 Pop into the showroom. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #OvenTips

The number one reason a shiny new fridge freezer ends up stuck out on the drive: somebody measured the gap it's going into — and completely forgot to measure the doorway it has to come through first.

We've seen it plenty over the years. The appliance fits the space perfectly. It's the front door, the hall turn, or the kitchen doorway that catches everyone out.

So before you buy anything big, grab a tape measure and jot down four things:
- The doorway width AND height (not just the gap in the kitchen)
- The tightest turn or corner on the way in
- Any tricky stairs or a narrow hall
- The alcove or space it's actually going to live in

Then send us the numbers. Have a proper natter with a real person who's fitted hundreds of these — pop into either shop, or WhatsApp your measurements over to 07448 567594 and we'll tell you honestly whether it'll fit before you spend a penny. No guesswork, no nasty surprise on delivery day.

Send us your doorway and kitchen measurements first and we'll make sure it actually fits — then we deliver it, install it, and take the old one away with room to spare.

"Does the energy rating actually make a difference to my bill?"

We get asked this across the counter most weeks, and the honest answer from people who fit these things every day is: yes — genuinely.

Here's how we explain it in the shop, no sales spin:

That little A-to-G label isn't just red tape. On the appliances that run all day and all night — your fridge, your freezer, your washing machine — a better rating quietly saves you money every single month for the whole life of the appliance. And in a hot July, when the fridge and freezer are working the hardest they'll work all year to keep your food fresh, that difference gets bigger, not smaller.

We won't throw made-up figures at you. Two similar fridge freezers can cost roughly the same to buy but noticeably different amounts to run over the years — and over ten years that gap adds up to real money. The cheapest one on the shelf isn't always the cheapest one to own.

That's exactly the sort of thing we're here to talk through in plain English. Pop in, or give us a ring, tell us roughly what you're replacing and how the room's laid out, and one of us will walk you through which rating actually earns its keep for you — not just the priciest one in the row. Pick the efficient one and we'll bring it out, set it running and take the old power-guzzler away for you.

Two family-run shops, on the high street since 1971, and always a real person to ask.

Same family. Same street. Since 1971. We’ve been helping Scunthorpe pick the right appliances for over 50 years — and we’re still here. 🧡 Real people, real advice. 📍 142 High Street. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #FamilyBusiness

That's it — bell's gone, bags dumped in the hall, and the fridge door won't stop swinging for six weeks. Schools are officially out across North Lincolnshire. 🎒

The kitchen's about to work harder than it has all year. This isn't a buy-now post — it's a we're-here post. If the washer's groaning or the fridge can't keep up, we'll talk it through honestly — and when the time comes, our own local crew delivers, gets it set up and running, and takes the old one away, on a day that suits you.

Worth saving: milk keeps best on a middle shelf — the door's the warmest spot in the fridge.

What gets raided first tonight — the freezer or the biscuit tin?

John's Adventures, No. 14 — cleared for takeoff.

First Saturday of the school holidays — for the next six weeks, the freezer gets opened more than the front door.

Quick shop bit first: if the lolly raids empty yours faster than you can restock, we do freezers — delivered, set up and the old one taken away by our own local crew, on a day that suits you.

Now the real business of the day. What's the official ice lolly of the summer holidays in your house — a Fab, a Twister, a Screwball, or the supermarket box of rockets?

We didn't write this one. Melinda did — and yes, we really do have three Pauls.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Melinda L.

"Amazing service from the three Paul's. Paul for his friendly service in the store and the two Paul's that put up my TV. Such a lovely pair even though one stole my sweets (joking). Highly recommend."

That's about as Scunthorpe as it gets, and honestly it says everything we'd want to say about ourselves better than we could. One Paul talks you through it at the counter. Two more turn up, carry the new one in, fit it properly, take the old one away — and have a laugh with you while they're at it (sweets not guaranteed to survive). Same real faces, start to finish, across North Lincolnshire and beyond from our two shops.

Fifty-five years on the high street, and it still comes down to whether the people who show up at your door are any good. We think Melinda's answered that one for us.

Here's an actual delivery and install, start to finish: loaded at our own Scunthorpe warehouse, driven out, carried in, plumbed up, run through a proper test cycle — and then your old washer wheeled out and taken away with them.

John's Adventures, No. 19 — new window display this week. We had help.

Karen rang us about a tumble dryer. She wasn't sure what she needed, and that's fine — most people aren't. That's what we're here for.

Peter picked up. No menu, no "press 1 for sales," no hold music. Just Peter, talking her through it there and then — the differences that actually matter, what would suit her house, no rush and nothing she didn't ask for.

She popped in the following day to see for herself, found the right fridge freezer while she was at it, and we sorted the lot in one visit. Then Peter's advice, our crew's hands: we delivered it, fitted it and carried the old dryer away in the same visit — none of it left on the doorstep for her to sort out.

Here's what she told Google afterwards:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Telephoned yesterday and spoke to Peter about a tumble dryer and fridge freezer... Peter was very helpful, explained the differences. I chose what I wanted and delivery and set up sorted... carried it to the car for me... Well happy." — Karen C.

That's not a script. That's just Peter, and it's how it goes here. Ring us with a "not sure what I need" and you'll get a real person who does — one of the family that's been on this high street since 1971.

John's Adventures, No. 21 — a public service announcement for airer households.

It's Brigg Farmers' Market weekend — local produce, local faces, and folk who know exactly who they're buying from.

There's something in North Lincolnshire that likes to know who it's dealing with. When a shop's been in town as long as ours, you end up serving the same families more than once — parents first, then their kids at the same counters. You don't build that with a warehouse and a courier network. You build it by sticking around — two shops in town, fifty-five years and counting.

Who first sent you our way? Maybe a mum, a nan, or a mate who wouldn't stop going on about us.

317 litres. Say it slowly — that's how much this Beko fridge freezer holds.

If you've ever done the "everyone's off school, everyone's home, everyone's hungry" summer shop and watched it not fit in the fridge, this is the honest answer to that. Four freezer drawers, AeroFlow No Frost so nobody's chipping ice off anything ever again, and HarvestFresh technology that keeps fruit and veg vitamin-rich for longer — handy on a big weekly shop any time of year. And yes, there's still room for the ice lollies.

We've got this one on our own Scunthorpe shelf right now — ring first and we'll put your name on it.

Beko CNG4692VW, 59.7cm, white, 317L — £449.00.

Thinking about a new telly for the summer? Before you tap "buy now" on a listing that's just a wall of numbers, here's what actually matters — from people who set these up in real front rooms every week.

Swipe through, but the honest short version:

📺 Size is about how far you sit, not how big the shop makes it look. Measure the distance from the sofa to where the telly's going. A screen that fills the whole wall in the showroom can be too much in a normal-sized living room — and not enough in a big open-plan one.

📺 4K is plenty for nearly everyone. Don't get talked into paying more for 8K — there's barely anything made to watch on it yet. Where the money's better spent is a good panel and a proper picture, not a bigger headline number.

📺 The sound off the back of most flat tellies is thin — that's just physics, they're too slim to fit a decent speaker. If the picture matters to you, a soundbar makes more difference than most people expect.

📺 "Smart" is standard now, so don't pay a premium for it. What's worth checking is whether it runs the apps YOU actually use, and whether the remote and menus don't drive you up the wall.

📺 Come and see it switched on. A photo of a telly tells you nothing. Two minutes stood in front of it in the shop tells you everything — and we'll happily talk you through it with no pressure to buy today.

And when you've picked one: buy it in person and we'll bring it round, wall-mount it or stand it up for you, tune it in so it's ready to watch, and take the old set away to be recycled.

Summer laundry piling up faster than you can dry it? ☀️👕 The right machine makes light work of it. Come and have a chat. Real people, real advice, since 1971. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #LaundryTips

Furry kettle? That’s limescale — and it makes your kettle work harder. Easy to sort once you know how. ☕ Real people, real advice, since 1971. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #KitchenTips

The payday buy nobody regrets: a second freezer.

Not the exciting kind of purchase — but ask anyone who's got one and they'll tell you the same thing: best quiet upgrade they made all year. A chest freezer out in the garage or utility room ends the "there's no room in the freezer" argument for good. Batch-cook now and thank yourself all through the holidays, freeze the allotment glut before it goes over, and stock up when things are worth stocking up on instead of buying little and often.

We've got the Fridgemaster MCF96E in — 95 litres, Winter Guard technology so it keeps working properly even in an unheated garage down to -15°C, and it's rated safe for outbuildings if that's where it's going. 2 year warranty as standard.

Have a look on johnselectrical.co.uk or give us a ring for today's price — and when it arrives, we'll deliver it to the garage or utility, get it running to temperature, and if you've an old freezer to shift, that goes too. Put exactly where you want it, not left on the drive.

johnselectrical.co.uk — family-run in Scunthorpe since 1971

From this… to something you’ll actually love using. Whatever you’re replacing, we’ll help you choose well. 👀 Real people, real advice, since 1971. 📍 Two Scunthorpe showrooms. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #Appliances

Everything in this carousel is sitting on a shelf in our own Scunthorpe warehouse right now. Not "ordered in", not waiting on a depot three counties away, not "dispatched in 5-7 working days" — it's here, on the shelf, and your money stays in town.

Swipe through:

🔹 Russell Hobbs 23L Solo Microwave (Black) — £119.99. A proper family-size microwave without taking over half the worktop.

📻 Roberts PLAY10 Wireless Radio (Black) — £39.99. Little thing, big sound — the sort of radio that ends up on the kitchen windowsill for years.

🧹 Numatic Henry Xtra Vacuum (Red) — £199.99. Everyone's favourite red-faced workhorse in its Xtra edition — and hand on heart, this is honestly our last one on the shelf.

Here's the nice bit about buying from a shop that's actually got the stock in: grab it in store and walk out with it there and then, or we'll drop it round to your door — and for the bigger stuff we still deliver it, fit it properly and take the old one away with us.

John's Adventures, No. 23 — end of the month means one thing at the shop.

The things customers actually say to us… 😄 We’ve heard it all over the years — and we love it. Come and say hello. Real people, real advice, since 1971. #JohnsElectrical #Scunthorpe #FamilyBusiness

Anyone can leave a box on your doorstep and drive off.

We've never worked that way — and after 55 years on the high street, we're not about to start.

When a new appliance comes from us, it's our own crew who bring it. From our van to your plug it's all us: we carry it in, settle it into the right spot, wire or plumb it up, prove it's working before we leave, and lift your old machine out on the way past. One crew, one visit, nothing left for you to sort — same faces, same van, every time.

Not an agency courier who's never set foot in Scunthorpe. Not a name you'll never see again. The same family that's been doing this on the high street since 1971, delivering across North Lincolnshire and beyond. Pop your postcode into the checker on the site and it'll tell you in a few seconds.

That's the whole point of buying from real people — you get real people all the way to the plug.

That's July done. Thank you for a lovely first month online — here's to August.
