Our homes are more than just four walls and a roof; they’re our sanctuaries, and keeping them running smoothly is key to comfort and peace of mind. Two critical systems often get overlooked until a problem arises: HVAC and plumbing. Show these systems some love through preventative maintenance and save yourself a whole lot of heartache (and money!) down the road.
HVAC Habits
- Monthly Must-Dos: The most important monthly task is changing your air filters. A clean filter allows your system to breathe easier, saving energy, increasing air quality and efficiency, and preventing costly repairs down the line.
- Seasonal Check-Ups
- Spring Cleaning (and Maintenance!): Spring is a great time to contact Nebrasky and schedule an HVAC tune-up. Our technicians will check refrigerant levels, clean coils, and ensure everything is running smoothly before the summer heat.
- Summer Prep: Ensure your air conditioning system is ready for the high temperatures by checking for any leaks to ensure proper airflow around the unit.
- Fall Fix-Ups: Fall is the time to prepare your heating system for winter; don’t wait for those temps to drop! Schedule your furnace or boiler maintenance with Nebrasky in August or September so you’re ready to go for the colder weather.
- Winterizing Wonders: Make sure vents are clear of obstructions — including dust and debris — and check for any drafts around windows and doors that might be putting unnecessary strain on your heating system.
Plumbing 101
- Monthly Must-Dos: Check for any leaks under sinks, around toilets, and at faucets. A small drip can turn into a big problem (and a bigger water bill!) quickly.
- Annual Attention: Consider having one of Nebrasky’s plumbers inspect your pipes for any signs of corrosion or leaks! This can catch potential problems early and prevent them from turning into major plumbing disasters. The best part? Scheduling plumbing maintenance makes you eligible for our Basic or Universal Home Care Club plans!
The Benefits of Preventative Maintenance
- Save Money: Addressing small HVAC and plumbing issues early can prevent them from becoming bigger, expensive problems. Regular maintenance also improves efficiency, lowering your utility bills!
- Increase System Lifespan: By keeping your HVAC and plumbing systems clean and well-maintained, you can extend their lifespan and avoid premature replacements.
- Improve Comfort and Air Quality: A well-maintained HVAC system ensures consistent temperatures and better indoor air quality.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your HVAC and plumbing systems are in good condition can give you peace of mind, especially during extreme weather conditions.
Showing your HVAC and plumbing systems some love through preventative maintenance is an investment in your property and your comfort. It may seem like a lot of work, but the long-term benefits far outweigh the effort. So, contact Nebrasky for any maintenance or repair needs, and start showing these essential systems some love!
