Staying on top of home maintenance keeps a home running smoothly. But many first-time home buyers have never replaced a furnace filter much less know how often a filter should be replaced. Some have no idea how to winterize a home because they've never owned a home before. A good home maintenance and repair book will address those types of concerns.

A home repair book, especially those with illustrations, explain step-by-step how to make simple repairs such as how to unplug a clogged garbage disposal, replace fluorescent light bulbs, clean out a dryer vent or install a new receptacle.
