A simple whole-home maintenance calendar
Most breakdowns are preventable. A little seasonal attention keeps your systems efficient, safe, and under warranty. Here's the schedule we recommend to Kitsap homeowners.
Twice a year
- Heat pump / AC: a spring tune-up before cooling season
- Furnace / heating: a fall tune-up before the first cold snap
Once a year
- Water heater flush to clear sediment and protect capacity
- Whole-house plumbing check for slow leaks and worn valves
- Electrical safety inspection, especially in older homes
Our Comfort Club membership bundles the seasonal tune-ups, adds priority scheduling and a repair discount, and keeps your 5-year warranty valid — all for a low monthly rate. See the Comfort Club → · See heating maintenance →
