“Light is the task where many share the toil.” – Homer
Last week, we posted a blog for homeowners detailing several of the most-forgotten home maintenance tasks. Were you able to add any of these to your ‘to-do’ list? The most ambitious of you may have already checked a few items off! To refresh those who may have missed the prior post, here are just a few of the tasks that you need to make sure get done around your home:
- Clean your refrigerator coils and drip pan.
- Flush your water heater.
- Clean your dryer’s exhaust tube of lint and other debris.
- Have your fireplace and chimney cleaned annually.
- Lubricate your automatic garage door opener.
- Change the filter of your A/C and heater.
- Remove debris that has collected in your gutters.
- Trim the trees and other greenery on your property.
Completing these tasks will ensure that your home is properly maintained, and many will even help you avoid having to file a claim on your Boston home insurance policy. That being said, however, if you do ever need to file an insurance claim, the Vargas and Vargas Insurance team is here for you! Just call our Stoughton or Dorchester office at 617-298-0655 to speak to a Massachusetts insurance agent that can help you with all of your insurance needs.
