Essential Spring Checklist: 7 Tips Every Family Needs

April 10, 2025

As the flowers bloom and the grass turns green, we welcome spring with open arms. The new season is all about feeling renewed and refreshed—especially when it comes to your home. Whether it's a quick cleanup, a new coat of paint, or adding some landscaping, there’s no better time than spring to shake off the winter blues and create a comfortable and vibrant home. Are you ready to embrace the new season?

Here is our spring “family-style checklist” to help you stay organized and get your spring off to a great start.

Spring Checklist for the Entire Family

Creating a spring checklist can help you stay organized and ensure that every corner of your home gets the attention it deserves. Our tip? Get the whole family involved to minimize stress and spread out the chores!

Dad’s Job

Put Dad in charge of scheduling the spring checkup with the experts at Blue Dot! Dad knows yearly HVAC maintenance can help reduce breakdowns and keep the HVAC system running smoothly. Plus, Dad loves nothing more than playing outdoors with the family. And when he has peace of mind about home comfort, he can spend more time relaxing with the fam!

Sister’s Job

If Sis suffers from spring allergies, let her control the humidity to maintain your home’s moisture levels. (Don’t have a humidification system? Call us!) Put her in charge of installing new air filters each spring. Fresh filters boost indoor air filtration and eliminate those nasty pollutants and contaminants that tickle her nose and irritate her respiratory system.

Mom’s Job

We know the secret to keeping Mom happy. She’s content when she has a cool summer home and a cozy winter space. This is why Mom knows to schedule an AC tune-up each spring. With a fine-tuned system, she enjoys balanced comfort during every season.

Grandpa’s Job

The constant "drip drip" of a leaky faucet or a running toilet can quickly turn Grandpa into Grumpy-pa! Put Grandpa in charge of inspecting toilets, faucets, and outdoor spigots each spring. A spring plumbing check from Blue Dot can help prevent these issues and save Grandpa from frustration. (Quick tip: A running toilet is usually caused by a worn-out flapper, while a dripping faucet often needs a new washer or O-ring.)

Brother’s Job

Does Lil Bro like to get dirt on his hands? Add “inspect air ducts” to his checklist. While we often neglect air ducts because they aren’t always visible to us, they still need maintenance. Let Lil Bro check for air duct damage and leaks in areas such as crawl spaces and attics. He’ll gladly get his hands dirty and help cross one more thing off that checklist!

Auntie’s Job

Does Crazy Aunt Martha run up that hot water bill? If so, make sure she calls Blue Dot for regular water heater maintenance! As someone who takes the most showers, let her oversee scheduling that annual water heater flush. It’s a smart way to help prevent strange noises, rust-colored water, corrosion, sediment buildup, and fix water pressure.

Grandma’s Job

As the family’s matriarch, Grandma is undoubtedly the most protective member. She wants to ensure that her entire family is always safe. We know she safeguards your home each season by ensuring that smoke alarms, CO₂ detectors, and the electrical panel are all in working order.
