Preventive appliance maintenance

The maintenance
your home has
always needed.

One visit. Every appliance. We show up, handle everything, and leave your home running the way it should — no coordinating, no surprise bills, no wondering. Because the things you own are worth taking care of.

The cost of doing nothing

Most appliances fail early.
Because they're ignored.

Regular maintenance meaningfully extends how long your appliances last — and how efficiently they run along the way.

How it works

Simple from the start.

Three steps to a home that runs the way it should — and a plan that gets better every year.

01
Free walkthrough

We come to you and document every appliance in your home — condition, age, and how you use it. We build a service bundle around what actually needs care and show you the exact price.

02
Book your service visit

When you're happy with your service bundle, pick a date that works. We show up, handle everything, and you don't have to coordinate a thing.

03
Learn and adjust.

After every visit you get a full Home Health Report. Your plan evolves based on real data from your home — add, remove, or adjust any time. Never pay for maintenance you don't need.

Why SoundUpkeep

Built differently.

Most home service companies are built around repair. We're built around prevention — and that changes everything.

🏠
One visit. Every appliance.

Instead of coordinating multiple different technicians — each with their own service call fee and scheduling window — we handle everything in a single visit. One call, one day, done.

🔍
Preventive only. No upsells.

We don't do repairs. That means we're never incentivized to find problems that aren't there. We show up to maintain — and only to maintain.

📋
Your Home Health Report.

After every visit you receive a full report — appliance condition, age, what was done, and what to watch. Useful for maintenance history, continuity, and peace of mind.

🔄
Your plan evolves with your home.

Most services follow a fixed schedule. We track how your home actually ages — usage patterns, appliance condition, lifecycle stage — and refine your plan each year. A family of five and a retired couple don't have the same home, and they shouldn't have the same maintenance plan.

What's covered

If it runs your home,
we maintain it.

Any combination of appliances and systems — your exact price is confirmed at your free walkthrough, based on what you actually have.

What homeowners say

Built on trust.

★★★★★

"I'd been meaning to get everything looked at for years and just never got around to it. Mo came out, went through the whole house, and I finally felt like I actually knew what shape things were in. Worth every penny."

— Sarah T.
Eastside
★★★★★

"During the annual visit, Mo flagged that the anode rod in our water heater was almost completely depleted — another few months and we'd have been looking at a corroded tank and a flooded utility room. Caught it for the cost of a part."

— James R.
Capitol Hill
★★★★★

"I own several rental properties and used to budget for at least a couple of appliance calls every year. Since starting with SoundUpkeep the number has dropped noticeably — and when something does come up, I already have documentation of its condition."

— David K.
North Seattle
★★★★★

"I was paying my water heater company over $400 a year just for an annual flush. With SoundUpkeep I get the furnace plus my water heater and refrigerator covered for less than that. Best service ever."

— Tom W.
Ballard
★★★★★

"No upselling, no scheduling headache, no mystery invoice at the end. Just someone who showed up, did the work, and left the house in better shape than before."

— Karen M.
Queen Anne
★★★★★

"I kept waiting for the catch. There wasn't one. Show up, maintain everything, leave a report. I don't know why this took so long to exist."

— Rachel S.

FAQ

Good questions.

You choose which appliances are in your plan — we only maintain what you select. For each one, we perform the preventive tasks within our scope: cleaning, lubrication, visual inspection, testing, and condition documentation. We don't open up equipment for internal diagnostics or perform work that requires a trade license — that's the job of a certified technician. Think of us as the consistent, scheduled layer of care that most homes never get. You receive a Home Health Report after every visit.

No. We use only natural, non-toxic products — white vinegar for descaling water heaters and dishwashers, vinegar and baking soda on garbage disposals, and water for general cleaning. No harsh solvents, no aerosol chemicals, nothing that leaves residue near food prep surfaces or affects air quality in your home.

No — and that's intentional. We are exclusively preventive maintenance. We don't diagnose or repair appliances. If something needs repair, we'll flag it and you choose who handles it. This means we're never incentivized to find problems that aren't there.

Before your first service, a technician visits your home to document every appliance — make, model, age, location, and current condition with photos. This lets us confirm your exact plan price and show up to every future visit fully prepared. The $50 fee is credited in full toward your first service payment.

Every home is different. The appliance selector covers the most common systems, but we discuss anything additional during your inventory visit. If we can maintain it, we'll add it to your plan.

Some appliances need attention more than once a year — HVAC filters, water filters, softener salt, and similar consumables. Filter & Refresh visits are lightweight add-on visits scheduled separately. Frequency and pricing are confirmed at your inventory walkthrough based on your specific setup.

We currently serve the greater Seattle area. We're building toward additional markets — if you're outside our current zone, leave your email on the estimate page and we'll reach out when we expand to your area.

A small investment that pays for itself.
