Enjoy a Hassle-Free Summer with Proper Home Prep
Before you kick back and relax in your South Jersey vacation home—or hand over the keys to renters—make sure it’s in top shape for the season ahead. A little springtime TLC will ensure your home is cool, comfortable, and fully functional when summer arrives.
At Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning, we know what it takes to get your home ready for another season of sun, surf, and sand. From HVAC maintenance to plumbing check-ups, we’re here to help make your transition into summer seamless.
HVAC Maintenance: Stay Cool All Summer Long
Spring is the perfect time to ensure your cooling system is ready to handle the heat. Whether you have a central air conditioner or a heat pump, a professional tune-up will optimize performance and help prevent costly breakdowns.
Our expert technicians conduct a thorough inspection, including:
- Cleaning coils and fans
- Checking motors, refrigerant levels, and electrical connections
- Lubricating moving parts
- Inspecting the condensate pan and relays
- Replacing air filters
By taking proactive steps now, you’ll improve energy efficiency, lower utility costs, and ensure your system is running smoothly when you need it most.
Don’t Forget About Your Furnace
While summer may be your focus, spring maintenance is an excellent time to check on your furnace as well. Even if your vacation home was unoccupied during winter, your furnace may have worked hard during freezing temperatures. Our team can inspect it for wear and tear, ensuring it’s ready when cooler temperatures return.
Plumbing Essentials: Prevent Leaks and Ensure Efficiency
Your home’s plumbing systems also need attention before summer. Our skilled plumbers will:
- Turn on your main water supply and check for leaks if you have winterized
- Inspect drainage systems for potential clogs
- Examine your water heater for signs of corrosion
- Reconnect hoses and remove outdoor bib covers
- Test sinks, showers, toilets, and garbage disposals for proper function
Thinking about upgrades? New kitchen and bathroom faucets, water-saving toilets, and even an outdoor shower can enhance convenience and efficiency. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that replacing outdated faucets with WaterSense-labeled models can save up to 700 gallons of water annually!
Be Proactive
If your HVAC or plumbing system needs repairs or new components, catching them now can help keep you comfortable during the busy summer season.
