Paradise Valley Lifestyle | February 2018
TERRA PIKE, OWNER OF TAILORED TO YOU HOME MANAGEMENT, CONSIDERS HERSELF PART CONCIERGE, PART HOME INSPECTOR AND PART PERSONAL ASSISTANT. She ensures each home she manages is professionally cared for while clients are away. This career was a natural transition for Pike after years of managing luxury condominium complexes and master planned communities. “I worked with building engineers while managing residential high-rises, and I understand that my clients want everything to run perfectly and look immaculate,” she says. Her usual weekly tasks include running water through the pipes, testing major appliances, checking the Wi-Fi and satellite or cable, looking for evidence of leaks and termites, inspecting pool equipment and landscaping, and securing window and door locks. Quarterly, she replaces air filters and burnt out lightbulbs. She’ll meet with landscapers, pool vendors or exterminators when needed. She’s well-acquainted with smart homes and does

night checks on a regular basis to confirm the lighting is working. “My clients do not want to come to their vacation home in Paradise Valley and have to be involved in maintenance concerns," she says. "With their approval, I have all the work taken care of before they arrive back, so all they have to do is enjoy." Pike arranges services such as housekeeping and landscaping. She stocks the fridge with fresh fruit and veggies upon request. Some of her more unusual tasks have included picking

up after coyotes, disposing of scorpions, photographing bobcats and escorting lizards out the door. “It’s a great fit for me with my real estate, high-rise management and HOA background," she says. "I’m a detail-oriented person and check every mechanical component of the home carefully so that I can find a minor problem before it turns into a major dilemma." She works closely with homeowners and updates them after every visit. Pike typically spends about one to two hours a week at each home, depending on the square footage. She charges by the hour. Occasionally, her husband, Dana, pitches in with minor handiwork, but typically she’s a one-woman show.
“I don’t think of your house as a property. I think of it as your home, your castle and pride and joy," she says. "I make sure everything inside and outside of your home is flawless."

collection of eclectic and one-of-a-kind pieces imported from around the globe.

Potato Barn specializes in a wide array of styles from urban industrial and rustic to shabby chic and vintage. Many items in the collection feature heavily distressed finishes and reclaimed wood.
An air conditioning unit is generally the 3rd largest purchase a homeowner will make, so I wanted to share some expert advice on how extend the life of your home’s AC unit and save you money in the long run.
Preventative Maintenance is Key
Think about your car. You get regular oil changes and check the fluid levels. An AC unit is no different. It is a mechanical piece of equipment that performs better with regular maintenance. Checking the electrical diagnostics is imperative as a loose connection can cause wires to burn and lead to more expensive repairs. A dirty coil is common here in the desert and clogs the air flow of your unit making it work harder and wear out much sooner. It also chips away at the longevity of your unit. Just imagine if you didn’t sweep your patio for a year what it would look like. That is what a dirty coil looks like.

Most importantly, change those air filters! The rule of thumb is once a month. Dirty air filters lessen your air quality and strain the air flow. Take a look at the cheap ones you see at the store and see how transparent they are. They only filter out about 10-15% of the dust. I recommend a permanent washable filter that you clean once a month. In addition, bugs and leaves make their way into the drain line so it also needs to be flushed out.
Beware of “Cheap” Tune-Ups
20 years ago, I was sitting at a Jiffy Lube watching cars receiving maintenance and asked myself, “why don’t we do a checkup and tune-up on AC units?” That’s when the Precision Complete Tune-Up was invented. We took all the things we know that need to be done and put them into a one stop package. A 35 point diagnostic, condenser coil clean, condensate drain line flush, a new permanent washable air filter, and if needed up to 1 lb of Freon and an electrical component. Buyer beware of those $40 - $60 tune-ups which are just inspections that add on these same items with a hefty price tag. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, a tune-up a year, will keep your AC unit running better without the fear... of a breakdown. About the author: Erik Bryan is the owner of Precision Air & Heating, the #1 ranked AC company in the state. Erik has been an HVAC contractor for more than 25 years serving the Valley. “Make the Precision Decision” and ask about the $159.95 Complete Tune-up (over $680 in parts & services)
