As a homeowner we love our houses.  We take care of them like they are our children and when things go wrong we look for ways to get them fixed quickly.  For many people this may require them to contact electrical contractors in Carmel IN to work on these issues where others can be done by the homeowner themselves.  Here are a few tips for quick fixes in your home.

Get that funk out of your sink

If you are like us, there may be a strange odor coming from your kitchen.  If you are like me, I think it may be an electrical issue or something to do with a piece of equipment. However, this is seldom the case.  In many situations it will be that I have a bunch of junk in my drain.  To fix this problem you can go and grind up some ice in your garbage disposal.  This will knock up any particles that are stuck in your drain.  When the ice melts it will help wash away those particles.

From there, you want to use baking soda and vinegar.  When you combine these it will create a volcano of cleaning solution that will help wash out your pipes.  Finally, Run your disposal again with some hot water and some citrus fruit.  This will help clean out the remaining garbage and give your kitchen a fresh fruit scent.

Doorbell

For many people the doorbell is an outdated item that they really don’t think about.  For those that do, they may do an upgrade to a video doorbell.  However, if you have a standard doorbell and it doesn’t ring you can do an easy replacement if you are still getting power, and you don’t have to hire someone to do it for you.
