Keep Your Home
in Working Order
Increase your home's chance of being sold by ensuring that the
mechanical and electrical components are in working order.
Lighting
- Be sure light switches, lamps
and fixtures (inside and outside the home) are working
properly and all light bulbs have appropriate wattage.
- Remember, bright light can
make a small space appear larger.
- Softer light can provide a
warm, cozy atmosphere to empty spaces.
Plumbing
- Re-enamel, patch or replace
badly chipped or stained fixtures.
- Repair noisy toilets and
faucets that leak or spray water.
- Ensure that sprinkler systems
and outdoor faucets are working properly.
Heating and Cooling Equipment
- Ensure that heaters and air
conditioners are working properly.
- Clean floor and wall ducts.
Additional Fixtures
- Check batteries in smoke
detectors.
- Be sure security systems are
working properly.
