Just like our bodies that require looking after, our homes need to be maintained from time to time, as well. Some issues may need to be revamped quite often whereas others require less repairs. Here are a few aspects to include in your annual household checklist.

Plumbing

The kitchen and toilet are one of the most frequently used places in the house. There are chances that you might use them even more than your bedroom and living room. Pipe leaks are a common occurrence which could lead to disastrous consequences such as the entire house being flooded with water, thereby damaging the furniture, electronics, electric sockets and even the air conditioning installation Boondall system. Therefore, get a plumber to fix any pipes that seem to be damaged or leaking.

Electrical system

It is a known fact that electrical failures and short circuits cause hazardous consequences which could even prove to be fatal in certain cases. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you check for any circuit issues that may exist in your household electric board. Repair any broken wires or fuse that may be causing issues often. However, remember to hire a professional electrician to perform the job rather than attempting to repair it yourself, as it could be dangerous.

Repairs

If there are any electrical installations or furniture repairs that you have been putting off for a long time, now is the time to do it. Damaged floorboards or tiles ruin the appearance of the house, therefore repair these as well. In addition, check your heating and cooling system for any issues. Hire a company to perform a complete Aircon service as the a/c’s tend to experience issues quite often.

Cleaning

Apart from the major aspects such as repairing electric circuits and water pipes, an annual ritual that you must adopt is cleaning. This does not necessarily refer to the daily or weekly cleaning of the rooms and toilets that you usually carry out. At least once a year, perform a deep cleaning of the entire house wherein you get rid of all the unnecessary items that you have been hoarding for years. If these items are in good condition and completely useless to you, organize a garage sale and sell off all these items. This would help you create more space and money at the same time.
