Spring Home Maintenance: Get Your HVAC & Plumbing Ready for Warmer Days

As winter fades and spring rolls in, it’s the perfect time to ensure your West Milford HVAC and plumbing systems are in top shape.

At Mark Lindsay and Son Plumbing & Heating, we’re here to help with expert services for AC maintenance, repair, installation, sump pumps, well pumps, and water treatment.

Here’s what you need to know to get your home ready for the season ahead!

1) AC Maintenance, Repairs & Installation

Winter can take a toll on your HVAC system, making spring the ideal time for AC maintenance. Regular maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps prevent costly repairs during peak summer months. Our expert technicians will:

• Test starting capabilities and safety controls
• Clean and/or replace customer-supplied air filters
• Clean and adjust blower components where accessible
• Measure for correct air flow
• Tighten electrical connections and measure volts
• Lubricate all moving parts as needed
• Clean condensate drain, prime traps, and clear debris
• Monitor cooling cycle for proper operation and if within manufacturers’ specs
• Perform condenser cleaning and coil air blowout
• And more!

If your AC is showing signs of wear or isn’t cooling efficiently, we also offer repair services and full system installations for energy-efficient upgrades.

2) Sump Pump Inspections

Spring showers and snowmelt can put extra strain on your sump pump. To prevent basement flooding, we recommend:

• Testing your sump pump and backup system
• Checking for debris or blockages in the discharge line
• Ensuring proper drainage around your home

A proactive inspection can save you from unexpected water damage and costly repairs.

3) Well Pump Maintenance

If your home relies on a well for water, spring is the perfect time to check your well pump system to ensure reliable water flow and efficiency. We recommend:

• Checking water pressure for fluctuations or low pressure
• Inspecting electrical components for loose connections or corrosion
• Testing for pump cycling issues, which could indicate a failing pressure switch or tank problem
• Inspecting for leaks in the well cap, pressure tank, or piping
• Flushing and sanitizing the system to prevent bacteria buildup
• Checking for sediment or debris that could clog pipes and reduce efficiency

Regular well pump maintenance can help prevent costly breakdowns and ensure you have a steady water supply throughout the warmer months.

4) Water Treatment Solutions

As temperatures rise, your water usage may increase. Ensuring clean, safe, and great-tasting water is essential for your home. Our water treatment services include:

• Water testing to detect contaminants
• Installation and maintenance of water softeners and filtration systems
• Solutions for hard water, iron, and other impurities

Improving your water quality can extend the lifespan of your plumbing and appliances while providing better-tasting drinking water.
