Plumbing (service guide)
- On freeze warnings, drip faucets and open cabinet doors on exterior-wall sinks.
- Know where to shut off water at the meter or main—Sun City guests may need labeled instructions.
- After a thaw, check for low pressure or stains that suggest a split line.
HVAC (service guide)
- If heat pump runs constantly without warming, schedule service—refrigerant and defrost issues are common.
- Replace filter after heavy heating weeks; dry air increases static and dust load.
Roofing (service guide)
- After ice or wind, scan from the ground for lifted tabs, damaged flashing, or new interior stains.
- Keep gutters clear so winter rains do not back up under shingles.
House cleaning (service guide)
- Hard-water film on fixtures shows more when heat runs—good time for a deep clean before spring guests.
Prep for Georgetown spring (March–May)
- Test AC before March heat—capacitors often fail on the first hot afternoon.
- Clear condenser area and schedule tune-up; hail season returns in spring.
- Walk the roofline and photograph baseline condition before storm season.
