Every month, we share easy tasks you can do to keep you home in tip-top shape all year long. So here are a few tasks you can take on in November!
Maintain Large Appliances
- Appliances are a big long-term investment!
That’s why it’s important to take good care of them all year long. Your refrigerator is a great place to
start. Accumulating dust can make your
fridge cooling system less efficient.
To prevent trouble, regularly pull the fridge away from the wall
and clean the condenser coils with a vacuum cleaner. It’s also a good idea to dust and clean the
front lower grille. This five minute
task can add years of service to your refrigerator!
Clean The Oven & Stove
Drip Pans - Next move on to your stove.
It’s another appliance that needs a good regular cleaning to keep it
working well. Many ovens have a self
cleaning feature that will do the hard work for you.
The only problem? It can
take a while to run the cleaning feature and it usually smells pretty bad while
it’s running. Save this task for a nice
day and open up the windows to keep it well ventilated. Check your stove manual for instructions and take a few minutes to clean the burners
too.
Have Problem Trees Trimmed
- Cold weather has arrived. Have you
noticed any large branches hanging over onto your roof? Get them trimmed as soon as possible. A good ice storm can cause branches to break
onto your roof leading to more damage and insurance claims.
Save on Home Insurance
- Homeowners Insurance is an important part of protecting your home and
belongings. To make sure you have the
best coverage, call Fowlkes Insurance Services today at 703-556-7857 for a free, no obligation quote.
