2. Service/Upkeep Appliances
Another simple maintenance job that makes a significant difference is to make sure all your appliances and utilities are working. That means replacing batteries in smoke detectors, replacing burned out light bulbs, A/C cleaned, and all other appliances are clean and operating.
