Maintenance Tips
Your new Marini Home is designed and built to provide many years of service. In order to keep your home, its equipment and all other components at peak performance, periodic maintenance is required by you. Regular maintenance will help minimize problems and enhance the enjoyment and value of your home. Here are some things that you should do for the fall/winter season:
- Have an HVAC contractor perform a seasonal maintenance on your furnace
- Change your furnace filter and check the filter in the power humidifier
- Turn on the power humidifier and adjust as needed during the winter
- Clean gutters and check all downspouts so that water is diverted away from the home
- Clean the dryer vent duct to remove any lint or obstruction
- Turn off exterior faucets at the shut-off located in the basement and drain water from hose bib
What relative humidity should I maintain in my home?
Maintaining the humidity in your home during the winter can be a difficult process. The key is to be high enough to be comfortable, but low enough to avoid problems associated with mold and condensation. We recommned that you strive to maintain relative humidity around 35%. A small, inexpensive and easy-to-use instrument called a hygrometer can measure the humidity level in your home. You can maintain the right relative humidity in your home by adjusting the power humidifier to a setting that corresponds to the outdoor air temperature; heating your home at 68 to 70 degrees; and running the continuous duty exhaust fan in your main bathroom for a few hours daily (tight homes need proper ventiliation to maintain relative humidity).
Keep Roof Eaves Clear of Snow.
With the above average snowfall this season and the extreme cold temperatures, it is vital that you clear your roof eaves of snow. At a minimum, snow should be cleared with a snow rake two to four feet from the fascia or gutter. The extreme temperatures freezes any snow melt at the eave quickly causing ice and water to back up on your roof. Ice and water back up on your roof is the number one cause of roof leaks.
