[quote=Anonymous]That sounds really expensive, OP.  Basically, your HVAC needs to be checked once a year, maybe twice.  I use Bethesda Refrigeration - have for over 20 years.  I forget the cost of the maintenance plan - maybe $280 per year, plus cost of any repairs.  They can show you how to change air filters, which you either wash or replace for nominal cost at Home Depot.

As for other maintenance, find someone to clean your gutters in the spring and fall.  My lawn service does it and I pay $20 per hour.  I think it adds no more than $40 to my bill when it gets done.

I'm sure there are other things, but these are the biggies.  If you hire someone to check your house a few times a year, you are going to have a house that is in top notch shape because you will be repairing and replacing when you still have time.  It's their job to find things that are wrong, but not everything that is wrong or worn needs to be replaced.

Another thing.  You can learn how to do anything on You Tube. [/quote]
