The House Upkeep Checklist

Looking after a property can be strenuous. The list of tasks which need to be carried out yearly and monthly can stack up uncontrollably if left to their own devices.

Here is a brief overview of what needs to be done when looking after a property. For new home owners especially, this list could have some points you may of overlooked.

Monthly:

Clean kitchen sink waste disposal. Inspect and possibly change filters in air conditioning units. Change range hood filters. Inspect any fire extinguishers you have.

Quarterly:

Test smoke alarms. Make sure the garage door auto-reverse is functioning correctly. Run water and flush toilets if they are not regularly used. Check water softener and add salt if required.

Biannually:

Test the boilers pressure valve. Give the house a general deep clean. Replace batteries in smoke detectors. Vacuum refrigerator coils.

A general list, but may cover some areas you may not of thought of.
