Annual Maintenance & Repair Budget

The cost is better calculated in terms of time. Time to clean the water heater controls ( mainly blow air at them) , drain and flush any junk. Same for most appliances such as gas furnace, gas refrigerator, check all water connections. They will come loose. Just a bunch of simple stuff but needs doing annually, semiannual even better. You should have a manual for each appliance which will have the list of the things to do. Get on roof and check caulking for cracks and deterioration. If it needs redoing it can take a lot of time and effort.

hmm, honestly washing/waxing not something I had considered at all. The caulking, greasing, etc I expected and planned to do myself. I was more or less asking about the reapairs and mainteance that would require someone highly experienced with the work, I am fairly handy but I do not want nor plan to do anything that involves allot of time so I would just pay to have those sorts of things done for me.
