Summer isn’t just for sunshine and barbecues — it’s also the ideal time to stay on top of your home’s essential maintenance. From prepping your cooling systems to keeping your outdoor spaces clean and safe, proactive home care this season helps you stay comfortable, avoid costly repairs, and preserve your property’s value.

Skipping your annual HVAC tune-up might seem like a harmless way to save a few bucks — but it can cost you far more than you think. Regular maintenance isn’t just a box to check — it’s the difference between a system that runs reliably year-round and one that fails when you need it most.

We live in a DIY world — and for good reason. Painting a room? Sure. Installing shelves? Absolutely. Swapping cabinet hardware? Go for it.

Did you know that leaky windows and doors can account for up to 30% of your home’s heating and cooling loss? That’s money slipping right through the cracks—every single month.

You can't always control the air outside, but you can control the air inside your home — and it matters more than you might think.

Emptying your dryer's lint trap after every load is important — but it’s not enough.

Gutter cleaning isn’t the most glamorous task — but it’s one of the most important. Ignoring your gutters can lead to serious (and expensive) damage to your roof, foundation, and siding.

Planning to sell your home? Before you invest in major renovations, start with the easy wins — small DIY repairs that make a big difference in how buyers view your home. First impressions matter, and a well-maintained home sells faster (and often for more). Here’s your quick guide to simple fixes — and when it’s smart to call in a Puls pro to help you shine.

Whether you're a homeowner planning a kitchen remodel or a property manager overseeing a growing portfolio, one thing is clear: the cost of home renovations and repairs is heading up. In 2025, rising tariffs on imported goods are expected to significantly increase the cost of building materials, appliances, and labor—making it more expensive to maintain, improve, or expand any type of property.

Managing multiple properties presents a unique set of challenges for property managers. Juggling maintenance requests, tracking repair expenses, and ensuring tenant satisfaction can quickly become overwhelming. Property warranties offer a strategic solution by streamlining maintenance operations, reducing unexpected costs, and improving overall efficiency. This article explores how property warranties benefit property managers overseeing large portfolios and how they contribute to better organization and financial stability.

You toss in a load of wet clothes, hit “Start,” and an hour later… still damp. A dryer that won’t fully dry your clothes is annoying and energy-wasting — but most of the time, the fix is easier than you think.

A washing machine that won’t drain is one of the most frustrating household issues. You’re left with soggy clothes, standing water, and loads of confusion. But don’t panic — most of the time, the problem is simple and totally fixable.

When your refrigerator stops cooling, it can quickly turn into a household emergency. Spoiled food, melted ice, and a frustratingly warm fridge can disrupt your daily life and cost you money. Before you panic and start pricing new appliances, take a moment to troubleshoot. Many refrigerator cooling problems can be resolved with a bit of know-how and a few tools.

Tenant satisfaction is one of the most powerful drivers of long-term success in property management. Happy tenants are more likely to pay rent on time, treat the property with care, and renew their leases—reducing turnover and vacancy costs. But nothing tests tenant relationships faster than a delayed or mishandled repair. That’s where property warranties—and a reliable property management solution like Puls—can make all the difference.

At Puls, we know that inviting a technician into your home requires trust. Whether your refrigerator has stopped cooling or your washing machine won’t spin, you need a reliable expert who can diagnose and fix the issue quickly—and treat you and your home with respect while doing so.
