Ngl, y'all are missing a key point here. Upkeep isn't just about fixing stuff when it breaks, it's about regular checks on all sorts of things. Grace talked about windows, but gutters and air filters are just as important. Skip those and you could end up with water damage or a busted HVAC system. I learned the hard way when my AC quit from a dirty filter. Staying ahead means looking at the whole picture, not just one spot.
