5. Heater Filters
We handle filter replacements as part of quarterly maintenance. If you’ve changed yours recently, let us know so we can mark it complete.
6. Water Heater Service
Tankless water heaters should be flushed twice a year to avoid clogs, outages, and guest refunds. If your home has a water filtration system, now’s the time to replace that filter too.
