What is ETA Home Maintenance?
ETA Home Maintenance provides proactive, recurring home care designed to take the stress out of managing repairs and contractors. A technician visits your home on a scheduled monthly basis to handle preventative maintenance and routine upkeep.
Why is recurring home maintenance necessary?
Regular maintenance prevents minor wear and tear from escalating into expensive repairs. Proactive care extends the lifespan of critical home systems (such as HVAC and plumbing), maintains indoor air quality, improves safety, and helps lower energy costs.
What areas and systems inside the home are covered during maintenance visits?
ETA inspects and maintains key systems and components throughout your home, including:
HVAC Systems: Basic inspection and filter checks/replacements.
Safety Devices: Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms.
Plumbing & Water Systems: Faucets, water heaters, and under-sink leak checks.
Sealing & Weatherization: Caulking and weather stripping for doors/windows.
Doors & Garage: Alignment, hardware checks, and garage door mechanisms.
Electrical: Outlet checks and basic safety reviews.
Appliances: Dryer vent and line inspections.
Custom Monthly Requests: Tasks from your own monthly to-do list.
What hardware and structural adjustments are included?
Doors, Cabinets & Hardware: Adjusting and tightening hinges, handles, and sliders to prevent sticking, sagging, or premature wear.
Weatherstripping & Window/Door Seals: Inspecting and servicing seals to eliminate drafts, enhance indoor comfort, and reduce energy loss.
Minor Caulking Touchups: Re-sealing gaps around moist or exposed areas to prevent water infiltration and air leaks.

How often should HVAC filters be replaced?
HVAC filters should be replaced every 1 to 3 months. Regular replacement maintains optimal airflow, protects indoor air quality, and improves the overall efficiency and lifespan of your heating and cooling system.
How frequently are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors checked?
Smoke and CO detectors are tested monthly to ensure sensors, batteries, and alarms function properly to keep your household safe.
What does the plumbing inspection cover?
Plumbing maintenance includes monthly checks under sinks and around toilets to spot loose supply lines, minor drips, or worn fittings before they cause severe water damage. Routine inspections also assess fixtures, faucets, and seals.
How often does the garage door need maintenance?
Garage door lubrication and safety inspections are performed approximately every 6 months to maintain smooth operation, reduce track and spring wear, and ensure safety mechanisms work as intended.
What maintenance is done on doors, cabinets, and hardware?
Technicians inspect, adjust, and tighten cabinet hinges, interior/exterior door hardware, and latches as needed to stop sticking, reduce wear, and eliminate loose fittings.
Why is weatherstripping and seal inspection important?
Door and window seals and weatherstripping are checked and replaced as needed. Keeping these seals tight eliminates drafts, improves indoor temperature comfort, and lowers seasonal heating and cooling bills.
Do you handle caulking touchups?
Yes. Minor caulking inspections and touchups around sinks, tubs, counters, and windows are conducted to stop moisture penetration and protect surfaces from water damage.
