Did you know that you may be making some mistakes when caring for your home? Today I’m sharing the top 10 errors we see homeowners make. Avoiding these blunders will save you money and keep your house safe and clean.
1. Using traditional light bulbs. I know the new kind is more expensive, but they’ll save you money over time.
2. Letting a faucet leak. Replace or repair leaking faucets.
3. Using the wrong air filter size. Make sure the size fits your unit and that it’s kept clean.
4. Forgetting the thermostat. Customize your thermostat and temperature to save money when you don’t need as much AC or heating.
5. Unadjusted vents. Have you adjusted your heating and air vents lately? That’s right, even something this simple can save you money.
If some of your roof’s shingles are curling up, that’s a sign of a problem.
6. Overwatering the lawn. Overwatering is a waste of money and not healthy for the grass.
7. Not checking the water heater’s temperature. Is the temperature too high? Especially in the summer when you won’t be needing such hot water, turn down the temperature.
8. Letting leaky windows or doors slide. Caulking doors and windows saves you money.
9. Hiring a handyman when it’s not needed. Watching YouTube videos about how to do a project is a wonderful idea. See if you can fix it yourself before calling a professional. (However, don’t take on potentially dangerous tasks by yourself.)
10. Neglecting your roof. If some of your shingles are curling up, that’s a sign of a problem. This will cost you majorly when the roof starts leaking.
