July Home Maintenance Checklist
5 tasks for July — each with the reason it's on the list. Print it, stick it on the fridge, and cross things off.
- Every 90 daysReplace the HVAC filterA clogged filter makes the blower work harder, raises energy use, and lets dust bypass into the ductwork.
- Every monthTest smoke and CO detectorsDetectors fail quietly — the only way to know one still works is to test it.
- Every 3 monthsTest GFCI outletsGFCI outlets protect the wet areas of the house from shock, and their internal mechanism can fail while the outlet keeps delivering power..
- Once a yearFill driveway and walkway cracksWater in a crack becomes frost heave in winter — small cracks grow into broken slabs one freeze at a time..
- Every 3 months in seasonClean humidifiers and dehumidifiersBoth machines hold standing water, and standing water grows mold and bacteria that the machine then distributes through the house..
