Useful Tips to Make Moving House Simple and Easier

5. Install new switch plates and other devices. Many older houses,
especially those that have undergone a series of renovations, will have
mismatched outlets, dirty and discolored cover plates, and rusted or damaged
air vent covers. I find that replacing all of these so that there's a uniformity
and newness to them makes a home feel newer and, understandably, cleaner.
While switching out a cover plate takes nothing more than a small
screwdriver, bear in mind that replacing electrical devices isn't necessarily a
good DIY project unless you're really comfortable working with electricity.
6. Have the mechanical equipment cleaned and serviced. Do this as soon
as you buy the house. Getting the heating and cooling systems cleaned and
other routine tasks done is important — as is getting a service contract so if
the system stops working in the depths of winter, you'll not have to overpay to
get a technician to come to your home.We've always had good luck asking our
new neighbors which company they have found to be reputable and attentive
for this work. It's also a great way to meet the neighbors.
