Which appliances do you cover cleaning on though? I have never owned a tumble dryer, or a furnace (is that american for boiler or are they a bit different?).
Meanwhile I do have a heat pump, not had to clean it yet, I think its more of a problem when you have lots of trees around, especially ones that drop sticky residue.
I think a furnace would refer to forced hot-air heat, with the furnace being the thing that heats the air being blown around through the vents.
Boiler would be to heat water/steam for radiant heat.
I am wondering what other appliances would be covered. What about electrical work or plumbing? Even if you don't do the work yourself, knowing a bit about what's involved can help avoid getting ripped off.
I'm regularly shocked by people who are incapable of doing basic home repairs.
Knowing how to wire a plug or change a fuse is apparently a vanishing skill. Even calling it a skill feels odd, its barely any harder than Lego.
I'd say anything that is relatively common and could potentially be dangerous if not maintained properly. You don't need them to be masters of every appliance. Just to be aware of the dangers of the most common ones.
