Spring Home Maintenance: Prepping Your Home for a Healthy, Happy Season

Spring is finally here, and after a long winter, it’s nearly time to throw open the windows and welcome the fresh air. But before diving into backyard barbecues and outdoor adventures, it’s essential to ensure your home is ready for the season ahead.

While many homeowners focus on yard work and deep cleaning, preparing your home’s essential systems is just as important. Taking the right steps now can keep your home comfortable, efficient, and protected from seasonal challenges.

Here are three key areas to address this spring to make the most of the warmer months ahead.

1. Schedule Your AC Tune-Up Before the First Heatwave

Remember those sweltering Iowa summers? They’ll be back before you know it! After months of sitting idle, your air conditioner needs some attention before the summer heat arrives. Now is the perfect time to schedule your annual AC maintenance. 

A Top-Notch Tune Up from Service Legends offers:

  • Peace of Mind: Our 1-year no-breakdown guarantee ensures your AC is ready to keep your family cool and comfortable all summer long.
  • Lower Energy Bills: A well-maintained AC runs more efficiently, saving you money on energy costs.
  • Extended Lifespan: Regular maintenance prevents costly breakdowns and extends the life of your system.
  • Improved Air Quality: Clean filters and coils mean healthier air for your family—especially important for those with allergies or asthma.

By taking care of your AC now, you’ll ensure your home stays cool and comfortable when it matters most.

2. Improve Your Home’s Air Quality with a Duct Cleaning

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your closets. Over time, your home’s ductwork collects dust, pollen, and other pollutants that affect the air you breathe. If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in a while, they could be circulating unwanted particles throughout your home, aggravating allergies and reducing indoor air quality.

A professional duct cleaning from Service Legends helps:

  • Remove dust, pet dander, and other pollutants
  • Improve airflow and system efficiency
  • Reduce allergens that trigger respiratory issues
  • Extend the lifespan of your HVAC system

If you or your family members suffer from seasonal allergies, a thorough duct cleaning can make a noticeable difference. Schedule a free Indoor Air Quality Assessment to find the best solutions for your home.

3. Inspect Your Sump Pump Before Spring Rains

Spring in Des Moines means rain – and lots of it! Before the heavy downpours arrive, make sure your sump pump is ready to protect your basement from flooding. 

A simple inspection can:

  • Prevent Water Damage: A working sump pump can save you thousands in repair costs.
  • Ensure Proper Operation: Test your sump pump to confirm it’s functioning correctly.
  • Check for Blockages: Clear any debris that could hinder performance.
  • Provide Peace of Mind: Knowing your basement is protected means less stress during spring storms.

A well-maintained sump pump is your first line of defense against water damage, so don’t wait until the next big storm to find out it’s not working properly!
