HVAC Maintenance

1. Regular filter changes: Replace or clean your HVAC filters every 1-3 months to ensure optimal performance and air quality.

2. Annual tune-ups: Schedule professional maintenance at least once a year to catch potential issues early and extend your system’s lifespan.

3. Clear the area around outdoor units: Keep vegetation and debris at least 2 feet away from your AC unit to maintain proper airflow.

Plumbing Care

1. Avoid chemical drain cleaners: These can damage pipes over time. Instead, use a plunger or drain snake for minor clogs.

2. Insulate pipes: Protect your plumbing from freezing during cold Cape Cod winters by insulating exposed pipes.

3. Know your main water shut-off valve: Familiarize yourself with its location in case of emergencies.

Energy-Saving Tips

1. Programmable thermostats: Install a smart thermostat to optimize your HVAC system’s efficiency and reduce energy costs.

2. Seal air leaks: Check for drafts around windows and doors, and seal them to improve your home’s energy efficiency.

3. Low-flow fixtures: Consider installing water-saving showerheads and faucets to reduce water consumption.
