Preventive maintenance
Scheduled upkeep performed before something breaks, such as HVAC filter changes, gutter cleaning and smoke detector tests.
Preventive maintenance runs on a calendar or usage schedule rather than waiting for a resident request. Common items include HVAC servicing, water heater flushes, roof and gutter inspections, dryer vent cleaning and fire safety checks.
It costs less than emergency repairs, extends equipment life and reduces resident complaints. Tracking completion also supports insurance and code compliance. Scheduling seasonal items ahead of time also spreads vendor workload more evenly through the year.
