How to Take Care of Your Whole Home (Including the Parts You Don’t Think About)

Your to-do list seems to grow way longer the moment you become a homeowner. But with the right knowledge, and a little help from The Home Depot Home Services professionals, you can keep every part of your home operating exactly as it should.

When looking for a new home, people usually focus on the fun parts. They think about the architectural style, how they might arrange furniture differently from the previous owner, what vegetables they could grow in the backyard garden. In those fantasies of home ownership, terms like “HVAC maintenance” and “water heater installation ” rarely make an appearance. But any experienced homeowner will tell you that it’s the concealed, unglamorous aspects of a home that can potentially cause the biggest headaches. A faulty water heater, for instance, can potentially lead to more serious issues than choosing the wrong shade of sage for the guest bedroom. 

The good news is that you don’t need to wait until your basement is flooded to know if you need to fix or replace something. It’s as simple as reaching out to The Home Depot's Home Services experts. From window treatments and HVAC to water heater repair and installation, they work with vetted local providers who are experts on the parts of your home you didn’t really think about until you moved in. 

Once you have peace of mind about those unexciting yet essential systems in your home, you can go back to debating design choices and flipping through paint swatches. So let’s take a look at how you can partner with Home Services from The Home Depot to keep your home running smoothly.

Keep Your Cool

The best HVAC system is one that you never notice. It should keep every room ‘room temperature’ without making too much noise or requiring too many adjustments. If you start noticing it more, either because the air conditioner keeps turning on and off or it’s not keeping the temperature consistent, it’s probably time to call The Home Depot Home Services. If it’s no longer blowing cool air in the summer or warm air in the winter, then it’s definitely time to make that call. 

The professionals at The Home Depot Home Services are HVAC experts who can help you figure out what’s wrong with your current system or find a new one that better fits your home and energy usage patterns. They’ll install it for you and back it up with a one-year warranty, including repairs and tune-ups with a 90-day guarantee. It’s the simplest way to keep your home feeling comfortable all year long. Here’s how The Home Depot Home Services can help you out with all things HVAC.

Warm It Up

While we all know we can’t live without a hot shower, it’s important to remember that your water heater stays working as hard as you throughout the rest of the day. It’s the unsung MVP for a variety of chores, warming up water for the dishwasher, washing machine and more. Nothing illustrates the water heater’s importance more than having it break. 

On the unfortunate day when hot water stops coming out of the faucet, it’s nice to know that you can call The Home Depot Home Services to get a new water heater installed. And the experts don’t just replace your old water heater. They’ll find one that’s tailored to the size of your home and perfectly suited for your family’s water needs. 

Trusting that hot water will be flowing again by your next shower isn’t the only way the experts at The Home Depot Home Services can keep homeowners relaxed. They provide free delivery and haulaway and can handle all the permits you need. So go ahead and schedule an appointment for a consultation or installation.

Open and Shut

Your windows are what keep the outside outside. It’s the thin line separating your home from birds, bugs, rain, even the occasional squirrel or raccoon. The professionals at The Home Depot Home Services can help you make smart window decisions. Whether you prefer the consultation to happen virtually or at-home, they will provide a free quote for the windows that best fit your home and style.  

They also work with local, licensed and insured installers, so you can trust that your windows will be expertly sealed. Beyond keeping out the elements and nosy critters, replacing leaky windows will also make your home more energy efficient. Since cool air won’t be escaping through gaps in the windows, your HVAC system won’t have to be working so hard (a difference you’ll likely notice when you get your next energy bill.) 

Having highly efficient, expertly installed windows might not have been one of the features you always wanted in your dream home. But like a smoothly running HVAC system and water heater, it makes the reality of being a homeowner so much better. So don’t wait to reach out to The Home Depot Home Services as your trusted partner in home maintenance.
