Spring has sprung and it’s time to think about fixing up your home! To commemorate the new season, we’ve stockpiled a variety of home maintenance tips to help you take care of your home. Whether it be your HVAC, your cooler, or your electrical system, there are a variety of ways to keep your home in working order.
HVAC
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems are an important part of many residential buildings, including your home. Since you’ll be using it often when the summer rolls around, it’s a good idea to call for some HVAC maintenance. In addition, you’ll want to keep the HVAC and the area around it clean to help it work at its best. Speaking of cleaning, check and change the filters in there one a month. A clogged filter will cause your equipment to work harder to get the same results. This’ll increase your energy bills and put more strain on the equipment, lowering its overall lifespan.
Electricity
When it comes to electricity, safety first! Prepare carefully and make sure you know exactly what you’re doing. Check the wires and plugs in your house to see if they’re frayed or loose. You’ll want to replace those. In addition, avoid having wires go under rugs/carpet or furniture, as it can be a fire risk. To do most of your electrical maintenance, you’ll want to hire a professional. You should also have an electrician check your home annually to help with the more complex parts.
Generators
No matter the time of year, you may be faced with power outages. That’s why it’s important to make sure your generator is well-maintained. You should test the generator every three months for half an hour to charge the electric charger’s battery. When it comes to parts, you’ll want to use longer, heavy-duty cords and a cover or enclosure to protect it from water or electrical damage. Always have a supply of oils, filters, and fuels on hand so the generator is well-stocked.
