Home Maintenance Plans
Proactive maintenance is scheduled maintenance work and is done before significant breakdowns occur. The goal of proactive maintenance is to reduce the occurrence of equipment failure, disruptions, equipment replacement and risks associated with faulty equipment. Taking a proactive approach in home maintenance is essential in creating safe premises as well as providing peace of mind that your equipment is maintained to a good condition.

Understanding the Importance of Home Maintenance
Ever wondered why dedicating time to home maintenance is paramount? Before delving into the financial aspect, consider this: the seemingly routine upkeep may appear resource-intensive initially, leaving you to question its purpose. However, the true value lies in preventing minor issues from escalating into major, costly problems down the line.
Home Maintenance Saves you Money
The first reason home maintenance is so important is that it saves you, the homeowner, money. That can’t be right, you’re thinking. I spend so much of my time, money and energy cleaning and maintaining. How does that save me money?
While it’s true, maintenance takes some money, dedication and hard work, and in the long run you save much more money than if you didn’t do maintenance. Why is this?
That’s because taking care of small problems now (a dirty filter or clogged drain) makes it so you don’t have the problem worsen over time and develop into a larger issue (a burned out HVAC motor or burst pipe.) Those bigger problems that tend to crop up after not maintaining a home cost significantly more than a new air conditioner filter every month or so.
Examples of common scheduled maintenance includes:
- Gutter Cleaning
- Pest Inspections
- Roof Inspections
- Eaves Inspections
- Clean Filters & Vents
- Landscaping and Lawn Mowing
- Reticulation Testing & Inspection
- Gates and Fence Inspections
- Smoke Alarm Testing & Battery Replacement
- Clean Filters & Vents
- HWU Testing
- Lighting Fixture Replacement
- Kitchen & Appliances
Home Maintenance Keeps Your Home Running Efficiently
The worst part of maintenance is that it’s just that: maintenance. It requires completing a task over and over again, and often, to provide upkeep for your home’s working parts. It’s just like sweeping the kitchen floor; you have to keep sweeping it every week or so to keep it clean. If you didn’t, imagine the state of the floor! Now think about how often you clean out your dishwasher’s filter or unclog your bathroom drain. Probably not as often as you sweep the floor, correct? Yet you probably use them almost as often as you use the floor.
Just like you have to continue to sweep your floor to keep it usable and clean, you have to clean and maintain the other parts of your home to keep them usable. If you don’t, you will end up having your home run less efficient. If you don’t clean the air conditioner filter, you’ll be paying for more electricity as your HVAC system works hard to cool or heat air in your home. If you don’t clean the evaporative coils under your fridge, it has a harder time keeping your food cool, and uses more energy to do so. When you maintain your home, you keep it running efficiently, which also saves you money with lower energy bills.
Home Maintenance Increases your Home's Value
When you drive a new car out of the sales yard, it immediately drops in value. The resale value decreases the longer you drive the car and the older it becomes. This principle doesn’t work the same for a home. In fact, the longer you own a home, the more you could increase its worth. Of course, home values have to do with the market and not solely what you do to the house, but you can still have a direct effect on your home’s value by maintaining your house.
How does this work? If you decided to put your home up for sale tomorrow, and you hadn’t maintained any of your systems and appliances, you would find that the home inspection report would probably show that your home had a lot of problems or potential problems. Buyers will either want a discounted rate depending on the issues that your home may have or ask you to replace or repair systems that may give them trouble in the future. Either way, you won’t be getting as much money out of the resale of the home as it could potentially be worth.
However, if you had maintained your systems and appliances as per the manufacturer’s instructions, the inspector would find less issues you’d have to take care of while doing an inspection, and you’d most likely end up getting more money out of the home.
Of course, the more home improvement and maintenance projects you do out of your own pocket that increase your home’s value, the more equity you end up having in the home.
Home Warranties and Home Maintenance
Home warranties and home insurance don’t generally cover for breakdowns caused by lack of maintenance. You’d be hard-pressed to find a home insurance company that would cover for flooding in a roof if it turns out you never cleaned out your gutters, which caused the flood. The same principle applies to a home warranty. If you never changed the filters for a year on your HVAC system and the fan burned out from too much strain, a home warranty generally wouldn’t cover the repairs or replacement.
Why does a home warranty make you maintain your systems/appliances? You have to complete maintenance on your systems and appliances in order to keep them in good working condition and to extend their lifespans.
