This is the Best Money you Will Spend in taking care of your home!
Doing some minor repairs will help you save in the long run. Many repairs you can do yourself and some you may need a professional. If a professional is required you should use one, because sometimes trying to do it yourself winds up costing you more in the long run. Here are some repair that need to be addressed regularly.
Water Issues:
Repair leaky faucets and running toilets, because this will save on your water bill but most importantly it could save you from having a flood issue and mold build up. Water leaks (drips) should never go unattended or you will soon have big problems.
Repair any caulking breaks in your tub and showers. Breaks will cause moisture penetration, which could also lead to mold.
Check your roof. Roofs can cause all kinds of problems so I suggest that you call a professional roofer. They can check it out and see if you have any damage that would cause you problems. Just remember to call only reputable ones and if there is an issue get at least two or three bids for the repairs.
Put up gutters as this will help keep the rain (water) away from the foundation of your home.
Remember that water can be a notorious foe.

Heating and Air
Change your air filters...recommended every 3 months. Heating and Air professionals say that 60% of their calls are a result of homeowners not changing filters. So save those expensive repair by putting in a $5.00 filter, and you will save on your energy cost also.

Clothes Dryer
Clean your filter here also. Keep the air flowing freely. If there is a big build up in the line you will not only pay more in energy cost but it can cause a fire. If you will also keep the kinks out of the hose between the machine and the wall the air flows better and gives you better results in drying your clothes.
