Maintaining a High Performance Home

Does a high-performance home have different maintenance requirements than a regular home?

No. What is important, and often ignored by homeowners, is that all homes require maintenance in order to perform well. We often see homes whose basic needs have been ignored by their owners. Ignored homes will never perform as well as homes that are well cared for. EnergyLogic provides a service to remind a homeowner of recurring maintenance tasks, such as furnace filter replacement.

Why is maintenance an important aspect of home ownership?

Let's assume that your homebuilder handed you the keys to your new home and that everything was perfect at that moment. We all know that it won't stay that way. You should follow a regular maintenance schedule in order to prevent conditions that would have a negative effect on your safety, on the performance of your home or on its resale value.
Though carefully constructed, moisture may enter your home. If it does, the sooner the condition is identified and corrected, the safer you and your home will be.
Your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home. Keep it in top shape by following a regular filter replacement schedule. Neglecting your furnace filter can negatively impact safety, comfort and efficiency.
