Maintaining Your Home
Simple care tips to keep your Allo home in great shape and ensure a comfortable living experience.
Monthly & Seasonal Care
Routine tasks that keep your home running smoothly
HVAC Filter Changes
Change your air filter every 30 days (or as recommended) to maintain air quality and system efficiency. Standard filters are available at most hardware stores.
Test Smoke & CO Detectors
Test all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly. Replace batteries twice yearly or when low-battery alerts sound.
Check for Leaks
Inspect under sinks, around toilets, and near water heaters for signs of moisture or leaks. Report any issues immediately to prevent damage.
Clean Dryer Vents
Clean the lint trap after every load and inspect dryer vents quarterly to reduce fire risk and improve efficiency.
Seasonal HVAC Prep
Before summer and winter, check that your HVAC system is working properly. Submit a maintenance request if you notice unusual sounds or poor performance.
Gutter & Drainage
Keep gutters and drains clear of leaves and debris, especially in fall. Report any drainage issues or foundation concerns.
Daily & Weekly Home Care
Keep It Clean
Regular cleaning prevents buildup and damage. Wipe down kitchen and bath surfaces, vacuum or sweep floors, and address spills promptly.
Manage Moisture
Use exhaust fans while cooking and showering. Wipe down shower walls after use to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Pest Prevention
Store food properly, take out trash regularly, seal cracks, and report any pest issues early. Prevention is easier than treatment.
Lawn & Yard Care
If specified in your lease, maintain the lawn, remove weeds, and keep outdoor areas tidy. Contact us if you need clarification on your responsibilities.
