How much to estimate for Home Maintenance after purchasing your home?
This topic reminded me of a
family whose I had sold a home while back. They had bought a new
construction home. After 5 years living in the home, the husband had a
job relocation so they were thinking about renting the home or selling
it. Walking around the home I was bit puzzled, the home was decorated
as if a picture from a catalog, it reflected the pride of ownership!
However the intake vents looked like they were clogged & dirty or
the ducts where clogged... I asked them if they got the HVAC serviced
or have any issues? My naive homeowner tells me they vacuumed every
time but the vent never looks clean. They even unscrewed to wash in
their bath tub. Long story short, I recommended them to get a local
HVAC professional company to service their system, it was diagnosed
they never changed the filter and the system was at a point of hazard.
They end up spending a lot of money getting this system working
normally which could have be done by simple filter change &
knowledge of how things work.
