Get Your Home’s HVAC and Plumbing Ready for Spring

March 04, 20251 min read

As winter fades and temperatures rise, your home’s HVAC and plumbing systems may need attention to ensure they function efficiently. Cold weather can strain heating systems, clog filters, and even cause minor plumbing issues that need addressing before they turn into costly repairs.

HVAC Maintenance:

  • Replace Air Filters – A clean air filter improves efficiency, reduces allergens, and helps your HVAC system run smoothly.

  • Schedule an AC Tune-Up – If you have central air, a professional inspection ensures it’s ready for summer. HVAC professionals check refrigerant levels, inspect ducts, and clean coils for optimal performance.

  • Inspect Vents and Registers – Make sure they’re clean and unobstructed so air can flow freely throughout your home.

Plumbing Checkup:

  • Check for Leaks – Look under sinks, around toilets, and near water heaters. Small leaks can add up to major water waste and potential damage.

  • Test Your Sump Pump – Spring rains are coming! Pour water into the sump pit and make sure the pump activates properly.

  • Flush Water Heater Sediment – Over time, sediment builds up, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Flushing your water heater annually prevents these issues.

Staying on top of these tasks will help keep your home running efficiently as we transition to warmer months.
