This time of Year brings a lot of great things into our lives: time together with family, wonderful food and lit up homes to name a few! With all of these great things, it can also bring some headaches to our homes. Here are the top three problems we encounter with Indianapolis area homeowners this time of year:
Clogged Drains
With the great food we eat this time of year, we also see more usage in our homes drain systems, which naturally leads to more clogged drains. Garbage disposals are a great help, but also have their limitations. Here is our list of top 10 things to never put down your homes drains to help. Here are a few examples of what we have seen lately!
Tripped Breakers
Christmas lights are a part of what make the season so magical, but can also lead to overloaded circuit breakers, tripped GFI’s and frustrated homeowners. One of my favorite holiday movies is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and most of us remember the scene of Clark Griswold experiencing the frustration of trying to get your home’s Christmas lights working. Here is a list of tips to make sure your homes Christmas lights work properly this holiday season.
No Heat
With the holiday’s comes the turning of the seasons. The Air Conditioner goes into hibernation and it is time to awake the Furnace to keep your home warm. Replacing your furnace filter is the number one way to keep your homes heating system functioning properly. It’s a pain to remember, but it will more than likely prevent headaches and save you money in the long run. It’s also important to have annual maintenance on your furnace and many manufacturers require it to keep your warranties active.
