Leading Pacific Northwest home services provider says that the early detection of electrical, plumbing and HVAC issues could save homeowners thousands in repairs and energy costs
TACOMA, Wash. , Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Harts Plumbers, Electricians & HVAC Technicians, a top-rated Western Washington home services provider founded in 2013, urges homeowners to invest in the preventative maintenance of their HVAC, plumbing, sewer and electrical systems before winter to lower energy bills, improve comfort and extend the life of their equipment.
Harts Plumbers, Electricians & HVAC Technicians remind homeowners that seasonal system checkups can catch issues early in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, helping avoid costly repairs.
“Most major system failures don’t happen overnight,” said Richard Hart, co-owner of Harts Plumbers, Electricians & HVAC Technicians. “They build up over time due to wear, lack of maintenance or small issues that go unnoticed. By investing in preventative maintenance, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their systems are running smoothly, efficiently and safely all season long.”
Hart said that research from the U.S. Department of Energy shows that proactive maintenance can reduce energy costs by up to 30% and extend the life of major equipment by several years. Hart recommends the following for a home’s major systems:
HVAC systems: Seasonal tune-ups ensure heating and cooling equipment runs efficiently, lowering energy bills and reducing the risk of breakdowns during extreme weather.
Electrical systems: Routine inspections identify outdated wiring, overloaded circuits and fire hazards before they put families and property at risk.
Plumbing systems: Checking for leaks, corrosion and water pressure issues prevents water damage, mold growth and expensive repairs. To further protect against winter weather, homeowners should insulate exposed pipes or apply heat tape to prevent freezing during extended cold spells.
“Small actions now can make a big difference later,” Hart said. “Something as simple as cleaning the burners and blower motor, tightening an electrical connection or finding and fixing a hidden leak translate into better performance, longer equipment life and greater savings for families. Preventative care is a smart investment that delivers lasting comfort, safety and financial security.”
Hart encourages homeowners to sign up for a home care plan which provides scheduled check-ups for heating, cooling, plumbing, sewer and electrical systems. These plans are designed to make routine inspections a regular habit, so small maintenance steps aren’t overlooked, and families can feel confident about the reliability of their home systems.
