Spring is here, and it’s the perfect opportunity to freshen up your home and get ready for warmer days. Preventative maintenance not only keeps your property safe and comfortable but can also save you money by catching small issues before they become expensive repairs. Here’s a handy checklist to tackle this spring:
- HVAC Inspection: Schedule an annual HVAC checkup to ensure your air conditioning system is ready for warmer weather.
- Inspect Seals: Check windows and doors for worn or damaged seals, and reseal them to prevent water damage and reduce energy bills.
- Plumbing Check: Inspect plumbing fixtures—like sinks, toilets, and showers—for leaks or drips that might need attention.
- Screen and Filter Maintenance: Clean or replace any damaged window or door screens, and degrease your kitchen range hood filter.
- Ventilation Cleaning: Vacuum bathroom exhaust fans and dryer vents thoroughly to enhance airflow and reduce fire risks.
- Safety Alarms: Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, replace batteries every six months, and ensure alarms aren’t expired.
-
Change HVAC Filters: Regularly change HVAC system filters (every 2 to 3 months) to keep indoor air fresh and systems efficient.
- Deep Clean Carpets: Consider deep-cleaning your carpets to eliminate allergens and dirt accumulated during winter.
