The trick to saving money when living in a house is to take care of the wear and tear that naturally occurs over time, before something breaks down and becomes a major problem. It’s much less expensive to have regular maintenance done such as cleaning out gutters, emptying and supplying fresh water to your boiler, or replacing filters and fuses to a/c systems. This way for much less money, all should continue to work well year after year.
Emergencies are never convenient and always cost significantly more because they require immediate attention and they usually don’t happen during normal working hours (Murphy’s Law). Waking up on a Winter morning to your home being freezing is never fun (unless you’re an Eskimo). The best service professionals can also be the hardest to reach during an emergency, since they could be running around handling other emergencies or working on jobs booked well in advance.
For example, servicing your boiler or furnace before Winter makes good sense because:
- Who wants to deal with having no heat when it’s so cold out?
- Simple maintenance can save you the cost of more expensive parts
- Maintenance can save you the cost of having to replace the entire system
There are many systems in a home: the electrical system, plumbing system, heating system, cooling system, the roof and water drainage system. All of these systems are made up of parts which work together. Performing regular maintenance keeps potentially failing parts from negatively affecting other parts and bringing down the whole system.
