March Home Maintenance Checklist: Get Your Home Spring-Ready!

As winter fades away and the first signs of spring arrive, March is the perfect time to tackle home maintenance tasks that prepare your home for the warmer months ahead. A little attention to these essential tasks can help keep your home running smoothly and prevent potential issues down the road. Here’s your March home maintenance checklist to keep everything in top shape!

Change Furnace Filters
Regularly changing your furnace filter improves indoor air quality and ensures your heating and cooling system operates efficiently. Fresh filters also help reduce energy costs and extend the life of your HVAC system.

Change Batteries in Smoke Detectors
Make sure all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms have fresh batteries. Test each unit to confirm they are working properly. A simple battery change can be a lifesaver in an emergency.

Check Exterior Drainage
As snow melts and spring rain begins, proper drainage around your home is crucial. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clear of debris, and check that water is directed away from your home’s foundation to prevent water damage.

Flush Hot Water Heater
Over time, sediment can build up in your hot water heater, reducing efficiency and potentially causing damage. Flushing the tank helps remove sediment and ensures your water heater is running at its best.

Get A/C Serviced
Before the heat of summer arrives, schedule a professional HVAC technician to inspect and service your air conditioning unit. Regular maintenance can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep your home cool and comfortable.
