For many homeowners, spring is the time of year when they dig out of the snow and out of the clutter they’ve built up in their homes over the cold winter months.

Spring is also a great time to start a home maintenance checklist so that you can keep your home safe, secure and issue-free as the weather starts warming up.

Checking on your home's plumbing, electrical systems, exterior and heating and cooling systems is just as important as scheduling your own yearly checkup with the doctor. Knowing the state of your systems and if repairs may be on the horizon saves you money and keeps these essential items from breaking down when they’re needed the most.

Here is a list of items that should be included or added to your spring maintenance checklist:

Winter is hard on a home. Cold weather can cause cracks to form, destroy roofs and can push your heating system to the limits.

Making sure your home's comfort systems are in good working order improves their efficiency, which helps you save money on repairs and utility costs.

Since an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, this checklist can help you stay safe and cool all summer long.
