What Happens Now? Why New Homeowners Need To Be Thinking About Home Maintenance

Congratulations on the purchase of your new home! Let the adventure begin…well, let’s pump the brakes on that for a moment.

Before you moved in, you likely had a home inspection. Like most people, you probably glanced through the major points and overlooked the smaller details. Maybe the inspection report mentioned that the roof has another five years of life left, or that the water heater could use an update for better efficiency. Either way, your home inspection isn’t a one-time event that you can forget about once it’s done.

Homes, much like cars, need regular maintenance. If you haven’t had a “check-up” in a while, it might be time to “take a look under the hood.” The items listed in your inspection report at the time of purchase may now need updating, replacing, or just adjusting. Routine maintenance can help prevent small issues from turning into big problems.

Think about it: when was the last time you checked or replaced the batteries in your smoke detectors? How about changing the filters in your HVAC system or cleaning the lint build-up out of your dryer vent? These are just a few examples of tasks that often fall by the wayside but are crucial for the safety and efficiency of your home.

Regular maintenance can extend the life of your home’s systems and appliances, improve energy efficiency, and even increase the value of your property. It’s not just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about preventing problems before they start.
