Regular
home maintenance is important and frequently overlooked. We tend to
forget about our HVAC system until it quits working on a hot day!
That's
why we're providing a few simple tasks you can do each month to keep your home
in tip top shape all year long.
Here's
where you can get started in July:
- Do an energy audit. Hot weather is a great time to find all the spots in your home where air may be sneaking in. Plugging those leaks can save as much as 20% on your heating and cooling bills!
- Looks at every door and window area for places where you can see daylight through a crack or feel a draft. Don't forget the mail slots and fireplaces too!
- If you'd rather use a professional, contact your utility company for a recommendation on a home energy auditor.
- Protect your patio furniture. You probably have all of your nice outdoor furniture in use right now. Make sure to take a few minutes to clean it each week and it will last for many more years.
- Check the tags on pillows and cushions for specific cleaning instructions and regularly hose down the furniture itself. Remember, patio cushions are a favorite place for busy squirrels so try to keep them protected!
