1. Skipping Regular Check Ups
In many ways, a home is like an additional member of your family. But, unlike family members, a home can’t speak up and let you know when there’s a problem. A seasonal check up can catch and prevent costly and inconvenient situations from arising in the first place. “Just like you and I visit a doctor for preventative care, ensuring your home systems are well maintained can catch small issues before they grow into big problems,” says Grimm.

2. Not Keeping Records
Grimm explained that homeowners don’t routinely keep good records. By not doing so for equipment and the repairs completed, homeowners run the risk of wasting money in the long run. Good records can help experts—plumbers, electricians, and HVAC professionals—diagnose problems quickly and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule for your home’s vital systems. Without records, these same experts have to start from scratch every time there’s a problem. A.W.E. provides homeowners with a folder that contains all the information the company has on a home’s systems, including warranty information, repair history, and suggested maintenance schedules.

3. Using Separate Vendors for Core Home Care
Most homeowners go to various service professional for each HVAC, plumbing and drainage, and power and electrical concerns. This requires homeowners spending time researching different companies for different services in hopes of finding someone to trust for each project. Working with people from a single trusted company can offer peace of mind, and help reduce fees as well.

4. Ignoring Special Needs
Adapting a home to support special needs the family members may have can cut down on medical expenses, a huge long‐term savings. One of the biggest health concerns a homeowner can address through a home’s vital systems is allergies. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, 40 million people live with indoor/outdoor allergies. The annual medical expenses associated with allergies top $6 billion dollars, and that doesn’t include time lost to sick days. Cut the affect that allergies has on your household members by installing a central air filter to remove allergens before they enter the air. A dehumidifier can also control common allergens in the home.

5. Not Changing Furnace Filters
Clogged filters are the number one reason for furnace‐related emergency calls. Clogged, poorly functioning filters put a strain on the furnace and can lead to diminished performance and electrical shorts. Changing the furnace filter once a month during the heating season is one of the cheapest, easiest, most effective ways to protect a home and avoid expensive repair costs.

6. Not Planning for the Worst
Take a little time to prepare now so you have systems in place that will help protect your home in the event of a disaster. For example, if your basement floods during the rainy season, you’re looking at a tremendous expense and inconvenience to repair the damage done by standing water. The health of your home will also be compromised. Air quality will drop and you may have to contend with mold. By installing a sump pump, you’ll be protected in the event of heavy rains. Avoiding a single flood in your basement can more than pay for the sump pump. The peace of mind that comes with being prepared is priceless.

7. Choosing the Cheapest Option
Nobody wants to spend more money than they have to on something like a new furnace. Buying the cheapest option can result in higher expenses over the long‐term. There are many reasons for this. Cheaper appliances often have higher maintenance costs. They almost always have higher energy‐use costs. And, they usually require more repairs. A.W.E.’s skilled technicians provide a variety of options, including the up‐front and long‐term projected costs so customers can choose a solution that makes sense.

8. Not Working with Licensed, Insured, Bonded Professionals
Hiring a licensed professional that is well‐versed in all of the safety regulations that apply to a specific system is a must. At A.W.E. every professional is certified and licensed in their specific area of expertise, and the team is fully insured and bonded for increased customer confidence.
