Summer is just around the corner. While you may be dreaming of pool days and backyard cookouts, taking a little time now for home maintenance can help prevent surprise repairs from cutting into your fun.
Schedule an AC Tune-Up
•Ensure your air conditioning runs smoothly when you need it most. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and keeps your energy costs in check.
Adjust Your Ceiling Fan Direction
•In the summer, your fan should spin counterclockwise to push cool air down and help your AC work less—keeping you cooler and saving energy.
Seal Out the Heat
•Hot air sneaks in through the smallest cracks. Replacing worn weatherstripping is a simple and affordable way to stay cool and keep bugs at bay.
Inspect and Refresh Windows & Screens
•With summer here, now’s the time to get your windows ready. Clean off built-up dirt and replace any damaged screens to enjoy the breeze and without inviting bugs inside.
Inspect Attics and Basements
•Check these areas for excess humidity, signs of mold, or poor insulation. A dehumidifier can help control moisture and prevent costly damage in problem spots.
Refresh Floors, Tile, and Grout
•Prep your home before summer guests arrive by deep cleaning carpets, polishing hardwood, and scrubbing grout to eliminate built-up winter dirt.
Touch Up Your Paint Inside and Out
•This the perfect time to update your paint, inside or out. It’s a simple way to refresh your space and make it more inviting—just don’t forget to pick the right finish for the job.
A little preparation goes a long way to get your home ready now so you can relax and enjoy all that summer has to offer.
