Home maintenance is more than just cleaning and landscaping. Plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical systems also require regular servicing to ensure they remain safe, efficient, and dependable. For over 45 years, R. Poust has been helping New Jersey homeowners protect their investment in their homes. Here is a seasonal home maintenance checklist we have compiled to help you stay on top of those expensive repairs and keep your systems ready for each season’s demands.
Plumbing Maintenance Tips 
Your plumbing system is the backbone of the comfort and functionality in your home. What is just a minor nuisance today can quickly escalate into a significant problem or, even worse, major damage if left unaddressed.
- Check for drips under sinks and around toilets, and your water heater as well.
- Get a pro inspection to find hidden leaks before they turn into big problems.
- Flush your water heater once every year so you can get rid of sediment buildup and have better efficiency.

Heating System Maintenance
New Jersey winters are long and require a heating system that’s dependable. A simple tune-up can help extend the life of the furnace or boiler and increase its efficiency.
- Keep up with changing your filters to maintain high airflow and low strain on the system.
- Check thermostat setting accuracy.
- Book for an annual inspection well before cold weather.

Cooling System Maintenance 
When summer hits, it often gets really hot and sticky. Your cooling system works super hard to keep your house nice and comfy.
- Clean or change AC filters every one to three months.
- Check outdoor units to clear any debris for free airflow.
- Have a preseason AC tune-up for the best operation and eliminate breakdowns.
Stay cool with our expert cooling services.
Electrical Safety Tips
While the electrical system may provide power to everything in the home, improper or outdated wiring is a potential risk.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors once or twice every month.
- Examine outlets and cords for any wear or damage to the insulation.
- Consider a whole-home generator to keep everyone safe during power outages.
