Why Maintenance Matters

Benefit What It Helps With 
Comfort & Health Proper maintenance reduces drafts, humidity problems, allergens, and unpleasant odors. 
Lower Utility Bills Clean HVAC filters, well-maintained water heaters, and good insulation help your systems run efficiently. 
Safety Regular checks (smoke detectors, electrical panels, sump pumps) lower risks of water damage, fire hazards, etc. 
Warranty Protection Many warranty claims require that basic maintenance tasks are kept up — we want your home to perform well over the long term. 

Seasonal & Regular Tasks

To help you stay organized, here are suggestions for what to do by season, plus a few monthly/annual tasks:

  • Spring: Check for winter damage; clean gutters; service your HVAC; inspect roof and siding.
  • Summer: Tend yard grading; inspect window seals; maintain outdoor appliances and decks.
  • Fall: Clean and seal chimneys/fireplaces; weatherstrip doors; prepare plumbing for freezing temps.
  • Winter: Monitor humidity; check heating zones; ensure snow doesn’t block mechanical vents.

And tasks to do more frequently: change furnace filters, test smoke detectors monthly, check sump pump, clean dishwasher filters, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Homeowner Maintenance

Yes — many warranties require you to perform certain basic maintenance tasks. Keeping up with those helps protect you and ensures your home functions as it should.

Skipping maintenance may lead to bigger issues down the road (more costly repairs, decreased comfort). In some cases, warranty coverage may be affected, depending on what was neglected.

We handle warranty repairs, but routine, non-warranty upkeep is the homeowner’s responsibility. For tasks beyond basic upkeep, we can help recommend trusted trade partners.
