Pre-March Home Maintenance Tips Monthly and seasonal maintenance not only helps to keep your home running smoothly they also help to protect your investments and avoid costly repairs.

Remember to replace batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. 2. Now is when you want to schedule a tune up for your air conditioning.

Thirty days is the longest you should wait, especially during peak usage months. 4.

Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night. -Safe Haven Property Inspections
