As a homeowner, it's important to stay on top of regular maintenance and repairs to ensure the longevity and functionality of your home. Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to costly repairs down the road and can also affect the overall aesthetic appeal of your home.
If you don't have time or budget, prioritize home maintenance as follows:
High priority: Keep water out of your home. This includes keeping your roof, gutters, water supply, and drains in top condition.
Medium priority: Electrical equipment. This includes items that may create other risks, such as fire hazards.
Average priority: Everything else.
High Priority - Keeping Water Out
The most important area to focus on is your roof. Regularly inspecting and maintaining your roof and cleaning the gutters can help prevent leaks and other damage caused by harsh weather conditions. Inspect your roof at least once a year and have any necessary repairs made as soon as possible.
Another important area is your cladding. Cladding can become damaged by high winds, hail, and other types of inclement weather, and it's important to have any damage repaired as soon as possible to avoid further rain damage to building material and electrical inside the walls. Check for any signs of rot or mould, which can be caused by moisture build-up.
If the height is a problem, consider buying a low-cost drone for this purpose.
Medium Priority
HVAC, air conditioning, and high-power electrical equipment require regular cleaning and servicing, as well as inspection and servicing by a professional. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to decreased energy efficiency and increased repair costs. In the worst case, the equipment can overheat and burn the built-up dust, starting a house fire.
Everything Else
Other areas to check include your fittings, fixtures, plug-in electrical equipment, and windows.
Regularly inspecting and maintaining these systems can help prevent leaks, power outages, and other types of damage.
Keep an eye out for any signs of wear and tear in your home. It may be mundane to organize repairs as soon as you find any issues around the house. You may prioritize and record the low-risk problems and organize all repairs together on the same day.
Overall, staying on top of regular maintenance and repairs is important for keeping your home safe, warm, and cheap to run. By taking the time to properly maintain and repair different elements of your home, you can help prevent costly repairs and keep your home looking and functioning its best.
