Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home—and protect it for the seasons ahead. Whether you’re nestled in the snowy slopes of Utah, facing the dry heat of Arizona, or braving the desert winds of Nevada, seasonal upkeep is essential. The best part? A reliable home warranty makes tackling these tasks easier, more affordable, and stress-free.
Here are 10 spring maintenance tasks every homeowner in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada should do—
and how your home warranty can help cover the unexpected.
HVAC System Tune-Up
Beat the summer rush—get your A/C professionally serviced now. In regions like Arizona and Nevada, where triple-digit temps are the norm, cooling system failures can be costly. With Elevate Homescriptions, seasonal tune-ups are included in your home warranty plan to keep you cool without the chaos.
- Flush Your Water Heater
Hard water is common in the Southwest, which leads to sediment buildup in your tank. Flushing it annually can extend the life of your unit and help ensure it’s eligible for home warranty coverage if a breakdown occurs. - Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Safety first. Change batteries and test each detector to ensure your home is protected year-round. Proactive steps like this support your home’s safety systems—many of which are covered under your Elevate home warranty. - Clean Out Gutters & Downspouts
Spring runoff in Utah can cause major issues if gutters are clogged. Keep water flowing away from your home to prevent water damage, a problem that may not be covered if regular maintenance is skipped. - Inspect Your Roof
Scan for loose or damaged shingles, especially in high-wind areas like Arizona and Nevada. Early detection can help you file claims appropriately under your home warranty and avoid out-of-pocket roof repairs. - Seal Windows & Doors
Reduce energy waste and keep cool air inside with fresh weatherstripping. A well-sealed home improves energy efficiency and reduces the workload on covered systems like your HVAC. - Service Major Appliances
Clean refrigerator coils, check washing machine hoses, and vacuum dryer vents. Your home warranty covers appliance breakdowns, but routine care helps them last longer—and helps you avoid unnecessary claims. - Test Outdoor Sprinklers
Spring is prime time to test and adjust your irrigation system. Ensure it’s desert-ready, and address any leaks early to avoid potential damage to your landscaping or plumbing. - Deep Clean Interior Spaces
A seasonal deep clean helps you spot wear and tear—like mold, leaks, or appliance issues—before they worsen. Don’t have time? Use the Homeowner App to schedule professional cleaning services in a few taps. - Check Plumbing for Leaks
Look under sinks, around toilets, and near water heaters for signs of leaks. Catching small plumbing issues early helps you avoid water damage and costly repairs that may not be fully covered without regular checks.
Why These Tasks Matter—And How a Home Warranty Helps
In Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, the extreme climate can wear down your home’s systems fast. A home warranty acts as your financial safety net when essential systems or appliances fail. And when you pair proactive maintenance with a comprehensive home warranty plan like Elevate’s, you reduce the risk of costly surprises—and increase your home’s overall value and efficiency.
