Spring in the Valley is a beautiful time. The citrus is blooming, the mornings are crisp, and the AC hasn’t quite hit its “marathon” season yet. But for homeowners in Peoria, Surprise, and Phoenix, Spring is more than just patio weather, it’s the ultimate window of opportunity to ensure your home’s critical systems are ready for the year ahead.
At Pro Solutions Air Conditioning, Heating, Plumbing & Electric, we believe a little Spring maintenance goes a long way in preventing a Summer emergency. Here is your “Spring Into Action” checklist to refresh your home from the inside out.
🌬️ HVAC: The Pre-Summer Deep Clean
Before the dust storms (and the high electric bills) arrive, give your AC some love.
- Clear the Area: Winter winds often blow debris against your outdoor unit. Clear away any dead leaves or weeds to ensure maximum airflow.
- Change Your Air Filters: If you’ve had your windows open to enjoy the Spring breeze, your filters have likely caught a lot of pollen and dust. Start the season with a fresh one!
- The Pro Check: A professional Spring tune-up ensures your refrigerant levels are correct and your motor is lubricated.
🚰 Plumbing: Prevent the “Spring Leak”
Spring is a great time to check on the health of your water system.
- Inspect Your Hose Bibs: If we had a rare frost over the winter, your outdoor faucets could have small cracks. Turn them on and check for leaks.
- Water Heater Flush: Sediment builds up in Arizona water heaters faster than almost anywhere else. Flushing it now ensures you have efficient hot water for those Spring cleaning projects.
- Check the Toilets: Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If color seeps into the bowl without flushing, you have a leak that’s wasting “green” every day.
⚡ Electrical: Safety First
With Spring cleaning comes a lot of vacuuming and moving furniture. It’s the perfect time to check your “invisible” system.
- Test Your GFCIs: Press the “test” button on the outlets in your kitchen and bathrooms to make sure they still trip correctly.
- Check Outdoor Lighting: As we spend more time outside, ensure your patio and security lighting are working safely without frayed wires.
🏠 Indoor Air Quality: Breathe Easy
Spring is peak allergy season in the desert.
- Consider a UV Light or Air Scrubber: These can be installed directly into your HVAC system to kill mold, bacteria, and viruses before they ever reach your living room.
- Dust Your Ceiling Fans: Don’t just turn them on! Wipe the blades first so you don’t redistribute a winter’s worth of dust across your clean house.
