This lesson is part of the learning plan: 'Mastering Home Maintenance and Repair'. Lesson topic: Seasonal Home Stewardship Overview: Neglected home systems often lead to costly emergency repairs. Learn how a proactive four-season maintenance plan protects your HVAC and plumbing. Key insights to cover in order: 1. Proactive stewardship through seasonal checks can prevent expensive breakdowns in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems throughout the year. 2. Winter maintenance focuses on damage control and preventing ice dams, while summer is ideal for ambitious exterior painting and drainage projects. 3. Regularly changing HVAC filters is the single most important task for maintaining heating and cooling efficiency and air quality.
