The few schedules every new homeowner should know.
These are broad starting points used in the personalized plan. Equipment instructions and local conditions always take priority.
Check the HVAC filter
Inspect monthly during heavy-use seasons and replace when dirty, at least every three months for typical disposable filters.
Service heating and cooling
Schedule professional pre-season checks: cooling in spring and heating in fall.
Revisit radon
Retest after major renovations, a change in lower-level use, or at least every two years when checking a mitigation system.
Inspect and pump septic
Inspect septic systems every one to three years and typically pump every three to five years, depending on use and tank size.
Prepare for hail, freeze and wildfire
Inspect after severe weather, winterize irrigation before freezing and maintain roofs, gutters and defensible space.
