If you perform regular maintenance on your home and appliances, you can avoid costly repair bills down the road!
Here are ten ways to keep your home in tip-top shape:
1. Inspect your HVAC filter monthly, and replace if necessary
2. Clean your clothes dryer vent regularly
3. Vacuum the coils of your refrigerator twice a year
4. Remove debris from gutters and downspouts
5. Inspect your roof, and replace damaged shingles before a leak occurs
6. Have your chimney inspected and cleaned yearly
7. Check and replace the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
8. Clean the filter on your range hood
9. Have your furnace inspected by a professional before heating season
10. Clean lime and soap scum from shower heads and faucets
Schedule these tasks on your calendar, so you’ll remember to tackle them at the appropriate time. It’s much less expensive to address small problems before they become BIG ones—and even better when you can avoid them altogether with a little preventative maintenance!
