Tune Up Home Systems
When it's time to sell, can you show that you've maintained your residence? Beyond fresh coats of paint, buyers want to see that your home's HVAC is fully functional. "Ninety percent of home inspections recommend furnace servicing and certification," says Jeff Hebeler, associate broker with FourStar Realty, Inc. in Boulder, Colo. Stay ahead of the curve with a yearly furnace inspection. It costs less than $100 and lends longer life to your HVAC. Keep a record of your tune-ups to give to potential buyers, says Hebeler.
