Preventive Maintenance Tips for GTA Property Owners

Preventive care will not eliminate every repair, but it can reduce surprise failures and help you catch issues earlier — especially through GTA seasonal swings.

Electrical

• Test GFCI outlets periodically using the built-in test/reset buttons
• Note flickering lights or warm switch plates and schedule an inspection
• Keep panels accessible and free of storage clutter
• Schedule professional review if you are planning renovations or added loads

HVAC

• Replace or clean filters on the schedule recommended for your system
• Book seasonal checkups before peak heating and cooling periods
• Keep outdoor units clear of debris and snow buildup
• Confirm thermostats are set correctly when seasons change

Plumbing

• Know the location of your main water shutoff
• Watch for slow drips at supply lines and fixture bases
• Avoid putting grease and inappropriate waste down drains
• Address minor leaks early before they damage finishes
