Maintenance Tips

Appliance/Item
Time
Action
HVAC - Filters
Monthly Clean or replace air filters regularly to prevent unit malfunctioning.

HVAC - Gas Furnace
Yearly An authorized technician should review it at least once per year for proper functioning and venting.

Appliances
Monthly As a general rule, be sure to keep all appliances clean from lint, grease, and grime. Particularly around moving parts (ignition switches, seals, agitators, etc) make sure working area is clean to prevent malfunctioning. Check owners manual for specific requirements of each appliance.

Cabinets
As Needed Wipe down wood cabinets with a non-abrasive cleaner. Apply lubricant to drawers and hinges to prevent rusting/sticking.

Tile, Stainless, Fiberglass surfaces and fixtures
As Needed Always clean with non-abrasive cleansers to prevent scratching or damage.

Carpet
Weekly Vacuum at least once a week. Clean professionally at least once a year. Contact World Carpet to determine an appropriate stain remover, and use IMMEDIATELY upon staining.

Countertops
As Needed Always clean countertops with a non-abrasive cleanser or a soapy cloth. Always use a trivet or hot pad when placing hot items on the counter. Check caulk/replace caulk if necessary at all counter joints.

Disposal
As Needed Always run cold water when disposal is in use. Add a tray of ice cubes to running disposal monthly.

Gas Logs
Yearly Have an expert clean your gas logs yearly. This will prevent unnecessary dust buildup, which can cause malfunctioning.

Roof
Three Years Have a roofing professional inspect your roof at least once every three years. If a leak occurs, call a professional. Never remove flashing or roof tiles.

Smoke Detectors
Monthly Check your smoke detectors by pressing "test" once every month. Replace backup batteries when unit signals.
