As winter fades and the temperatures rise, it’s time to get your home ready for spring! A seasonal check-up of your plumbing, heating, and air conditioning systems can prevent costly repairs and keep your home running efficiently. Here’s your essential spring home maintenance checklist from Lewis Maclean Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning.

Spring Plumbing Maintenance

✔ Check for Leaks – Inspect pipes under sinks, behind toilets, and in your basement for leaks. Even a small drip can lead to big problems over time.

✔ Test Your Sump Pump – With spring rain on the way, make sure your sump pump is working to prevent basement flooding. Pour water into the pit to see if it activates.

✔ Inspect Outdoor Faucets & Hose Bibs – Freezing temperatures can cause cracks. Turn the water back on and check for leaks before connecting your garden hose.

✔ Clear Slow Drains – If you’ve noticed sluggish drainage, now’s the time to schedule a professional drain cleaning to avoid blockages later.

✔ Check Your Water Heater – Flush the tank to remove sediment buildup and improve efficiency. If your water heater is over 10 years old, consider a replacement.

Spring HVAC Maintenance

✔ Replace Air Filters – Dirty filters restrict airflow, making your AC work harder. Swap them out for fresh ones to improve efficiency and air quality.

✔ Schedule an AC Tune-Up – Before the hot weather hits, have a professional HVAC technician inspect your air conditioning system to ensure it’s running at peak performance.

✔ Clean Air Vents & Ducts – Dust and allergens build up over winter. A thorough cleaning can improve indoor air quality.

✔ Check Your Thermostat – Test your thermostat and adjust settings for cooling mode. A programmable or smart thermostat can help save on energy bills.

✔ Inspect Outdoor AC Units – Clear away leaves and debris around your outdoor unit to ensure proper airflow.
