Summer Home Maintenance: Beat the Heat and Boost Efficiency

ree

Summer heat puts added stress on your home’s cooling system and outdoor areas. Use these tips to stay cool, safe, and energy-efficient.


What to Focus On:


  • Seal Windows & Doors: Prevent AC loss by checking for cracks or gaps. A tube of caulk can go a long way.


  • Outdoor Plumbing: Inspect sprinklers, garden hoses, and outdoor faucets for leaks or weak pressure.


  • Air Filter Routine: Replace filters every 30 days if your system runs constantly. A clean filter lowers energy use.


  • Tree Trimming: Overhanging limbs can damage siding or power lines during a storm. Keep branches away from your roofline.


  • Deck & Patio Maintenance: Re-stain wood decks and inspect railings for safety, especially before hosting guests.


Extra Tip:

Consider installing ceiling fans or a smart thermostat to reduce your cooling bills.
