🛠️ Home Maintenance Checklist for July
July is the month of Fun and Fireworks! As a Smart Homeowner, you know keeping up with home maintenance can sometimes feel like a chore. The good news is that tackling a few small tasks now prevents big headaches (and expensive repairs) later.
July Maintenance Mission: Peak Heat Management
This month's focus is water heater efficiency, proper home ventilation, and plumbing maintenance.
Your tasks for the next 30 days are:
Flush the Tank: Flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup. This improves efficiency and helps prevent noise/wear. Safety tip: read the manual first!
Clear the Vents: Clean out the bathroom exhaust fan grills/vents. Removing dust improves air circulation and prevents moisture buildup.
Slow Drains: Check your plumbing for any slow drains. Use a safe enzyme cleaner before resorting to harsh chemicals if you notice standing water.
Irrigation Adjust: Adjust your irrigation or sprinkler system timing to water early in the morning, minimizing evaporation during the hottest part of the day
Your Furnace Filter Need You: It's Hot and your A/C is working 12 hr shifts. Show it some mercy by changing your furnace filter.
That’s all for this month! Knock these items out, and you can relax knowing your home is performing perfectly.
Happy home-owning!
