Equal parts resource manual and preventive care guide, Home Maintenance For Dummies is the first place to turn for what to do when in a house or apartment. Expert authors, James and Morris Carey give top-notch advice and insight for keeping your home running smoothly all year long and avoiding expensive repairs that can turn your house into a migraine-inducing money pit. Home Maintenance For Dummies gives a thorough overview of household plumbing, wiring, and heating & cooling systems and guidance for keeping them running efficiently. Moreover, this fun and friendly guide serves as a maintenance timetable for every aspect of the home with answers about how often to repaint interior and exteriors, when to clean the fireplace and how much salt you should put in the water softener and much, much more! Seasonal maintenance tasks (and problems) are also discussed such as what to do with your air conditioner in winter, how to keep your pipes from freezing when it's -20, and how to protect your home from the elements. A log for homeowners is included-to jot down when fire alarm batteries will be changed, when major repairs and purchases were made, etc. Home Maintenance For Dummies is a veritable tune-up manual for the home.
