With the holidays approaching, it’s important to know when your home is in need of heating and plumbing updates before more guests start to come around.

While routine weekly, monthly and quarterly checkups are likely to see minor repairs, annual inspection and maintenance can prevent bigger issues from happening.

Technicians with Day & Night Air Conditioning in Phoenix can help detect issues with a sewer line, misalignments and knowing what needs replacement or repair throughout the home.

After all, professionals were trained to spot signs of corrosion, sediments in the water aerators and showerheads and to check for damaged caulk, a seal that works to prevent water from settling in the home, in the bathrooms.
