3 Home Maintenance Tasks That Could Cost More Later

05/21/2020 By Gulf Coastal Properties

Nobody likes shelling out hundreds or even thousands of dollars for home repairs but there are a few features of a home that if you take care of them now it can save you thousands in the future. Here are three home maintenance tasks to take care of sooner rather than later.

3 Home Maintenance Tasks That Could Cost More Later

HVAC systems.

It’s one of those almost forgotten things in your home until you know you needed or it breaks. Heating and cooling is essential and this is why it’s a good idea to have a professional HVAC or furnace or air conditioning company inspect and clean your units at least once a year. These companies will claim the system, check for leaks, and make sure that everything is in working order. This is one of the most important preventative maintenance tasks you can do because replacing an HVAC system can be extremely costly. Replacing central air-conditioning units can cost between $3000 and $8000 and new furnaces can run between $3000 and $5000. Simply having a service completed on the home once a year can cost around $500 or less. Check out HVAC Service in our area.

Termite or pest infestations.

This can be a costly fix if you neglect or put off taking care of rodents and termites in a timely manner. Squirrels and birds can eat up the insulation in your attic, carpenter ants can eat through your deck, and termites can create costly damage. Most treatments can cost less than $500 and give you peace of mind that you won’t have to deal with these things in the future. If you put off preventative treatment you could incur a lot more damage to your home and many homeowner insurance policies will cover these damages. Damages could run over $5000 to fix. It’s best to take care of these issues right away. Pest control in our area

Roof and gutters.

It’s important to clean your gutters at least once a year. If you have it professionally done it can cost as little as $200. If you don’t clean your gutters regularly and they get clogged, and water can find its way under shingles and through your ceiling destroying your roof and the inside of your home. The cost of a new roof can be upwards of $15,000 to taking care of it by performing good gutter care now will prevent costly repairs in the future. Gutter cleaning repair

Whether you’re planning on selling your home or just want to keep it in tip-top condition, taking care of these three major home maintenance tasks before they get out of hand will definitely save you thousands of dollars.
