maintenance is one of those things we're often asked about. Since most
people have limited time and money, it's hard to pick and choose which
projects to take on.
Our advice? Do the things you feel comfortable with. It is advisable, in the spring and the fall, to have your heating and cooling systems serviced. There are a lot of things that can be checked out from a preventative standpoint to maybe push off some these big-ticket items should something break. The biggest thing you can do is keep the system clean and change the filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
You should also pay close attention to your appliances. Make sure you're following the manufacturers specs on them. Most specs are easily found online nowadays.
The water heater is another item you have to keep an eye on. Most have a 10-12 year lifespan, but if you're getting discoloration or sediment in your water heater, you may want to have a plumber come out and look at it professionally. We don't recommend that anyone mess with a water heater on their own, as it can be dangerous.
If you need a quality contractor or vendor of any kind, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We've been working in the area for years and have met many of the most trustworthy professionals in every industry. We would love to hear from you!
