Stevens Realty Utility and Maintenance Reduction Program provides preventative HVAC maintenance service for our homeowners. This program is about protecting your physical asset by lengthening the life of your HVAC system.

Over the past several years we’ve realized that, despite their best efforts, residents are generally not in the habit of regularly changing their air filters. The national average of residents that change filters reliably is about 10%. Despite it being standard in the lease agreement, it gets neglected because it is out of sight and out of mind. Whether it be a function of simply forgetting, not being able to find the right size or quality of filter in the store, or not even knowing what an air filter is, residents and homeowners alike desire a more consistent, convenient approach to this important chore. It often becomes too little too late before anyone realizes the filter needs to be changed, and the result usually comes in the form of a high-dollar HVAC service bill.

Residents now change their filters within a few days of the delivery. We notice fewer move-outs, and thousands of dollars in preventative maintenance savings for property owners.
