Professional Home Maintenance Services

Preventive care that protects your home, your budget, and your peace of mind.

Every service we offer is designed to catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Our Lake Norman technicians know these homes — and we treat yours like our own.

HVAC Coil Cleaning

Keep your system running at peak efficiency

Dirty condenser coils force your HVAC system to work harder, driving up energy bills and shortening equipment life. Annual coil cleaning restores efficiency and prevents costly breakdowns during peak summer heat.

What We Do

Shut down the system safely
Remove and rinse condenser coils
Apply coil cleaner and flush debris
Inspect refrigerant lines and electrical connections

Why It Matters

Dirty coils can reduce HVAC efficiency by up to 30%, adding hundreds of dollars to your annual energy bill and cutting years off your system's lifespan.

Recommended FrequencyAnnually — ideally in spring before cooling season

Water Heater Flush

Extend the life of your water heater

Sediment buildup inside your water heater tank reduces efficiency, causes rumbling noises, and accelerates corrosion. An annual flush removes that buildup and keeps your hot water reliable.

What We Do

Connect a hose to the drain valve
Flush sediment and mineral buildup
Inspect the anode rod for corrosion
Check pressure relief valve operation

Why It Matters

Sediment buildup is the leading cause of premature water heater failure. A $79 flush can add 5–8 years to a unit that costs $1,000+ to replace.

HVAC Filter Change

Cleaner air, lower bills, longer system life

A clogged air filter restricts airflow, strains your HVAC blower motor, and circulates dust and allergens through your home. Regular filter changes are the single easiest way to protect your system.

What We Do

Locate and access all filter locations
Remove and dispose of old filters
Install new high-efficiency filters
Log the change date for your records

Why It Matters

Most homeowners forget to change filters on schedule. A dirty filter is the #1 cause of HVAC service calls — and one of the easiest to prevent.

Recommended FrequencyEvery 1–3 months depending on filter type

Smoke Alarm Check

Life-safety devices that must work when it counts

Smoke alarms have a service lifespan of 10 years — after that, the sensing chamber degrades and the alarm may not respond reliably to smoke. Most homeowners have no idea when their alarms were installed. We test every alarm in your home, identify units that are past their service life, and replace them with properly positioned, code-compliant detectors.

What We Do

Test every smoke alarm in the home
Check manufacture dates and identify expired units
Replace batteries annually
Verify proper placement per NFPA guidelines
Replacing smoke detectors available for an extra fee

Why It Matters

65% of home fire deaths occur in homes with missing or non-working smoke alarms. This is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost safety checks we perform.

Recommended FrequencyAnnually — battery replacement and full test

Condensation Line Clearing

Prevent water damage before it starts

Your HVAC system removes humidity from the air and drains it through a condensate line. When that line clogs with algae or debris, water backs up into the drain pan and can overflow — causing ceiling damage, mold, and system shutdowns.

What We Do

Locate the condensate drain line
Flush the line with a cleaning solution
Clear any blockages with a wet-vac
Inspect the drain pan for standing water

Why It Matters

A clogged condensate line is one of the most common causes of water damage in homes with central air. Prevention costs far less than drywall repair.

Recommended FrequencyAnnually — or twice yearly in humid climates

Home Maintenance Inspection

Know what's coming before it becomes a crisis

Our comprehensive walk-through covers all major home systems — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof, gutters, and more. You'll receive a written report with prioritized maintenance recommendations so you can plan ahead instead of react.

What We Do

Walk-through of all major home systems
Check plumbing, electrical, and HVAC basics
Identify deferred maintenance items
Provide a written summary report

Why It Matters

Homeowners who inspect proactively spend significantly less on emergency repairs. Knowing your home's condition is the foundation of smart maintenance.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

A leading cause of house fires — and totally preventable

Lint accumulates in dryer vents over time, restricting airflow and creating a serious fire hazard. The U.S. Fire Administration reports nearly 3,000 dryer fires annually. Regular cleaning keeps your dryer running efficiently and your family safe.

What We Do

Disconnect and inspect the vent duct
Remove lint buildup from the full duct run
Clean the exterior vent cap
Verify proper airflow after cleaning

Why It Matters

Clogged dryer vents are responsible for nearly 3,000 house fires per year. This is a quick, inexpensive service with serious safety implications.

Recommended FrequencyAnnually
