Owning a home is a significant investment. Not only is a home expensive, but it’s also designed to keep you safe and comfortable. When owning a home, it’s important to maintain your space to keep your home’s value and to keep you and your family safe. For home maintenance, you should perform, keep reading.
The first home maintenance you should perform is installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, especially if you own a fireplace. Add smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to the bedrooms in your home, the kitchen, and any room with a fireplace. Change these batteries twice a year. To make it easy, change the batteries at the same time you change your clocks for Daylight Savings Time.
Up next, have the roof of your home inspected. The roof of your home keeps you safe from rain and snow. If there is a leak in your roof, be sure to repair it as soon as possible. A damaged roof can lead to additional problems, including water damage and mold growth.
Gutters are designed to protect the foundation of your home from water damage. Clogged gutters can cause rainwater to damage your foundation, which can cause serious problems. Keep your gutters clean throughout the year. The fall is usually the time where gutters are most frequently clogged, so pay extra attention to your gutters during this time.
Up next is the HVAC. The HVAC system controls the climate in your home. A properly functioning HVAC can help your home stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A properly functioning HVAC also improves the efficiency of your home. You should have your HVAC system checked and cleaned once a year.
