When planning a home project, one consideration is whether it will increase the value of your home when it's time to sell. TV's Mr. Fix-It, Lou Manfredini, says these are good choices:

 * Have mechanical equipment serviced. The furnace, boiler, central air conditioner, and water heater need annual servicing. It will greatly extend the life of your equipment.
 
* Clean and stain your deck. Even pressure-treated wood can get discolored in less than a year. Use a pressure washer, sand it, and apply a deck preservative that contains linseed oil.
 
* Install a programmable thermostat. They are easy to install and can save as much as 30 percent on your energy bill.
 
* Create a dry basement. A professional can fill small cracks with an epoxy injection. For bigger problems you'll need a sump pump or excavation for a perimeter drain and pump. It could cost $2,000 to $5,000, but is worth it.
 
* Recaulk your shower or tub. Avoid mold and wall damage by cutting out old caulk. Put masking tape on the edges of the caulk, then smooth the fresh bead with your finger. Peel the tape away, and you have a perfect job.
 
* Install ceiling fans. They reduce energy cost in both winter and summer.
