What the program covers: components and common issues in Kanaka Creek

Whole Home Protection focuses on the systems and elements that most frequently disrupt daily life and carry the biggest repair costs.

• Common Kanaka Creek issues: dishwasher and washing machine leaks from settling and corrosion, fridge condenser stress during humid summers.
• HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning)
• Furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, air handlers, thermostats.
• Local relevance: high humidity and mild winters increase heat pump usage and corrosion risk; seasonal maintenance reduces failures.
