Top 10 Spring Maintenance Tasks That Prevent Costly Repairs
Spring Into Savings: 10 Must-Do Home Maintenance Tasks That Pair Perfectly with Your Home Warranty
Spring is here, and that means it’s time to shake off the winter dust and prep your home for the warmer months. Whether you live in the snowy mountains of Utah, the dry heat of Arizona, or the desert winds of Nevada, seasonal maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs—and your home warranty can help cover what you can’t DIY.
Here are 10 tasks to tackle now to keep your home running smoothly:
HVAC System Tune-Up
Before the summer heat hits, get your A/C inspected and serviced. Elevate includes biannual tune-ups as part of your Homescription, so you’re never left wondering if your A/C will work when that first 90º day hits.
Flush the Water Heater
Sediment buildup can shorten your water heater’s lifespan. Draining it annually is simple and helps prevent issues that may not be covered without maintenance.
Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Replace batteries and test all alarms. It’s an easy safety task often overlooked.
Clean Out Gutters and Downspouts
Especially important in Utah after winter snow. Prevent water damage and keep things flowing.
Inspect the Roof
Check for loose or damaged shingles—high winds in Arizona and Nevada can do a number.
Seal Windows and Doors
Prevent cooling loss and boost efficiency, especially critical in Arizona’s summer heat.
Service Major Appliances
Wipe down fridge coils, check washer hoses, and clean dryer vents. Your home warranty is there for breakdowns, but regular care keeps things running better, longer. Notice a problem while you’re doing your routine maintenance? No problem! Schedule a Pro to come out and take a look in under 60 seconds with our Homeowner app.
Test Outdoor Sprinkler Systems
Look for leaks and make sure your watering system is desert-ready.
Deep Clean Your Home
Clean baseboards, dust vents, and shampoo carpets. A fresh home helps you spot any minor issues before they become major. (Are you like us and have one too many things going on to shampoo your own carpets? Schedule home cleaning, carpet cleaning, and more through your Homeowner app. Yes, it’s really that simple.)
Check Plumbing for Leaks
Inspect under sinks and around toilets. Water damage can escalate fast if left unchecked.
Why Pair These Tasks with a Home Warranty?
In Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, extreme weather can stress your home systems. A home warranty gives you peace of mind when unexpected breakdowns happen—without breaking the bank.
