Why do we take our vehicles for routine maintenance, and our loved ones for wellness checkups, yet our homes—often our greatest financial investment—remain neglected until something breaks?
Mend Services, owned by husband-wife duo Steve and Whitnie Strauss, is a one-stop shop for your home's three major systems–HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. “All these systems are interrelated,” Steve explains. “We love offering our state-of-the-art technology to keep tabs on all the systems in your house.”
Let’s explore how we can invest in the critical home systems your family needs to live safely and comfortably. What are the benefits of regular home health service and the consequences of neglecting this key aspect of home ownership?
Three Maintenance Items for a Healthy Home
-
Flush your water heater. This maintenance item should be completed annually to prevent sediment buildup, improving your water heater performance and water quality.
-
Set a reminder to change your air filters monthly. Invest in a higher-quality air filter to improve the quality of the air you breathe as well as the performance of your AC.
-
Clean your outside condenser with a spring AC tune-up and a fall furnace check. Pollen and dust can significantly reduce the performance of these two separate systems.
We often don’t think about how the environment we live in impacts how we feel and function, but focusing on air and water quality through maintenance can improve your family’s health. “Sometimes when our home health suffers, our body’s health can suffer, leading to issues such as allergies and asthma,” Whitnie says.
Three Potential Consequences of Neglecting Home Maintenance
-
Increased energy bills. When AC units age and are not properly maintained, they use more energy, which raises your energy bills, especially in the heat of Texas summer.
-
Catastrophic flooding. Neglecting water heaters and other plumbing can result in flooded homes, but the Mend team is trained to look for warning signs and fix problems before they occur.
-
Cost of emergency response. When something breaks, emergency replacements and repairs are far more expensive—and much less convenient—than properly maintaining your systems.
What Sets Mend Service Apart
The Mend team puts its customers first with clear communication and preparation. “You get a text when we’re on our way, taking the guesswork out,” says Steve. “We’re prepared with the part needed for your service before we arrive and are being proactive to check for malfunctions, maximizing every visit.”
The team will discuss repair, replacement, and upgrade options so you can make an informed decision. “We’re determined to build long-term relationships through trust,” Steve states. “‘Be humble, be committed, and do the right thing’ is what we tell our employees.”
“Our ‘why’ is caring for everyone around us—our family, community, and employees,” Steve continues. “We love bumping into our customers at the Dripping H-E-B. We live here, work here, and care about treating you as family.”
