I recently had to replace my water heater, and I was reminded that I should be posting things to do each month… Especially the once a month draining of 1-2 gallons of water from the water heater.. This can greatly increase the life expectancy of a water heater! Just be sure where you are draining into.. hehe
October:
1)Replace/clean furnace filter(s)
2)Clean filters for kitchen exhaust fans.
3)Drain outside faucets and winterize sprinkler system.
4)Check driveway for cracks. Fill cracks and reseal as needed.
5)Test smoke detectors.
6)Check septic system drain field for flooding.
7)Drain approximately 2 gallons from water heater to eliminate sediment.
8)Pass a lit candle around doors and windows to check for drafts. Weather strip as necessary.
Weekly:
1)Furniture Dust all hard surfaces.
2)Floors Vacuum or mop.
3)Kitchen sink Scrub and disinfect.
4)Appliances Wipe down surfaces.
5)Shower Clean and scrub down.
6)Counters Wipe down and disinfect.
