helpful home buyer information
Resale Purchase
Duke Energy Customers - For a total loss of power call: 1-800-POWERON (1-800-769-3766)
- Change air filters monthly
HVAC Contractors suggest you save money and purchase the cheap variety (The thicker the air filter the harder the HVAC system has to work to push hot or cool air through the home and eventually it will cause a major problem with your system. So avoid the urge to buy allergy and extended period filters) - Builders suggest you buy best quality ice maker hook up line and washer hose/line you can find (less chance of leaking)
- Keep your downspout catch pans so the water flows AWAY from the home - remember when watering, etc...Keep the flow of water AWAY from the foundation. Water/moisture invites mold and termites.
- Caulk around your windows/bath tubs/sinks
- Twice a year when the time changes replace your batteries:
- Smoke Detectors
- Carbon Monoxide Detectors
- Twice a year when time changes take a walk around the exterior of your home as if you were an Inspector. Look for cracks, rotten wood, leaks, etc. On the inside do the same looking especially at windows and doors.
