Is It Luck or Else? The Benefits of a Home Maintenance Program

Some may call it luck when their plumbing, heating, and cooling systems last longer and run better. We think that, for under a dollar a day, you can buy your luck with a home maintenance program. But before you think we are just out for your green, we want to share some of the benefits of preventative maintenance, and particularly the Sunshine Club.

Make Your Neighbors Green With Envy

While your neighbors are sweating it out, waiting for a service tech to arrive to fix their air conditioning, Sunshine Club members are bumped to the top of the list if they do need service. However, because they also receive a free a/c check-up before the summer season begins, the chances are they won’t need it.

AC Preventative Maintenance

An air conditioning check-up service involves reviewing a working a/c unit for cleanliness (dirt wears and tears your system and reduces its efficiency); checking coolant levels; checking calibration of the thermostat; inspecting ductwork; checking electrical connections, blower motor and blower belt. Making adjustments to the air conditioner to ensure it is working properly will be determined after this diagnostic service is performed.

This type of service is typically done on your schedule with minor expense and provides future comfort. Cost: Priceless.

AC Repair Work

When the air conditioner is no longer working, it is then time to do repairs. Again, this will begin with a full diagnostic service that can take up to an hour to an hour and a half. During this time, the technician will check a variety of components that could be causing the failure and offer professional recommendations to do the repairs.

This type of service is typically done on the broken air conditioner’s schedule with potentially higher expenses in order to provide future comfort. Cost: A pot of gold.

Look at the State O’You!

If you show up to work un-showered, you may hear this expression (ok, maybe only if your co-worker is Irish). Why might you do that? A failed water heater? A leak in need of repair? A sewer line backup? Yes, all these unlucky reasons could leave you without water and/or without a shower.

Plumbing Preventative Maintenance

Not all plumbing problems are problematic but you can prevent, certain plumbing problems. A yearly cleaning of a sewer line that always backs up with roots can prevent it from backing up again. A flushing of the water heater can increase its lifespan. A die-test can help discover leaks before they become a big problem.

As part of a home maintenance program, we will handle these items every year and you’ll be sucking diesel now. Cost: a few cents per day

Plumbing Repair Work

When plumbing emergencies strike, they are rarely convenient. As part of your bi-annual visit from a plumbing and/or HVAC tech, having an inspection of your plumbing system is a smart way to save, and save up for problematic areas. Repair work requires you to make fast decisions to restore you to the pre-crisis state, and that tends to cost more.

As mentioned, nothing is 100% preventable, but preventative care is always less than emergency plumbing service work. Cost: your peace of mind
