"When it comes to home maintenance, being proactive can save you from costly repairs down the road. According to the Angi 2025 State of Home Spending Pulse report, 71% of homeowners prioritize preventive maintenance to avoid expensive issues later, with 62% expressing concerns about affording maintenance. Proactive maintenance like furnace tuneups and water heater flushes can save you thousands in the long run."
"Neglecting furnace and water heater maintenance can lead to more expensive repairs or replacements in the future. Investing in annual tuneups and flushes can cost much less than having to replace these systems. Other essential home maintenance tasks include ensuring your thermostat is working correctly, changing furnace filters regularly, and installing weatherstripping to prevent heat loss. Setting a maintenance schedule for your thermostat and using programmable features can help regulate your home's temperature efficiently."
Proactive home maintenance reduces the risk of costly repairs and system replacements. Seventy-one percent of homeowners prioritize preventive maintenance, while sixty-two percent express concerns about affording maintenance. Routine tasks such as furnace tuneups, water heater flushes, thermostat checks, regular filter changes, and weatherstripping help maintain system efficiency and prevent breakdowns. Scheduling maintenance before cold weather lowers the chance of unexpected failures. Annual tuneups and flushes typically cost far less than full replacements. Using programmable thermostat features and a maintenance schedule improves temperature regulation and energy efficiency while extending equipment lifespan.
