Home Periodic Maintenance and Energy Efficiency Recommendations Air Conditioner If the air conditioning unit is window mounted, remove it in the fall, or provide with a suitable weatherproof cover. This will prevent excess air infiltration into the home or property during the cold months of winter, will reduce heating costs, and will extend the operating lifetime of the air conditioning unit.
Faucets Examine all faucets for leakage. Replace faucet or valve gaskets if leaking is detected. A single dripping faucet can waste as much as 20 gallons of water a day, and cost about $25.00 per year. Filters If the property has central heating, clean or replace central heating filters and air plenum in the fall when first operating the heating system. Have the heating unit serviced by a professional annually.
Roof Keep the roof free of debris. Debris lying on a roof impedes shedding of precipitation and accelerates deterioration of the roof covering. Replace any shingles, shakes, tiles or sections which show excessive deterioration. It is much cheaper to effect repairs at this stage instead of procrastinating until the point that roof sheathing is also subjected to the deteriorating effects of excess moisture. Repair or replace any flashing which shows excessive deterioration.
If windows are wood-framed, ensure that the painted surface is maintained in order to prevent accelerated weatherrelated deterioration of the frames. This is equally important for steel-frame windows, and to a lesser extent, aluminum frame windows. 39 11692 W. Alfred Ct. Boise, Idaho 83713 Phone: (208) 995-5348 www.criterionpropertyinspection.
Windows and Doors (continued) Ensure that all hardware and fasteners are securely tightened for both windows and doors. Loose hardware can work against its mounting surface causing premature deterioration of the mounting surface and the hardware. Ensure that weather protective coatings of external doors are maintained in order to prevent accelerated weather-related degradation of the door. Check garage door safety features for proper operation at least annually.
