A Simple Home Maintenance Plan
Preventive maintenance is the most underrated money-saver in homeownership. Catch problems before they become disasters.
Prevention vs. Emergency: The Numbers
Waiting until something fails is how a lot of repair bills show up. Fixt does not publish average emergency costs or a claim that a tune-up prevents a specific dollar loss. In New York you can post seasonal maintenance and pay the accepted bid. You pay the winning bid. There is no homeowner fee.
The Monthly Maintenance Calendar
January: Test smoke and CO detectors, check for ice dams. February: Service your furnace, inspect attic insulation. March: Clean gutters, inspect roof for winter damage. April: Service AC before summer, check exterior drainage. May: Inspect deck and exterior wood for rot. June: Check all exterior caulking and seals. July: Deep clean dryer vents (fire hazard). August: Inspect and flush water heater. September: Service furnace before winter, seal gaps. October: Clean gutters again, winterize outdoor faucets. November: Test sump pump, inspect chimney. December: Check for drafts, inspect weather stripping.
What to put on a maintenance list
A practical list is HVAC service, gutter cleaning, a water heater flush, dryer vent cleaning, and a general inspection. Fixt does not publish a dollar budget or a claim that this list prevents a specific emergency cost. In New York you can post any of those jobs and pay the accepted bid.
