Spring is the perfect time to get things in order, whether that be spring cleaning or home improvement. Our craftsmen can't clean your home, but they can help make sure your home is ready for the warm weather! Here are some steps you could take to prepare for the warmer months.
- Put screens in the windows. Window screens allow air in and out without giving bugs the same privilege.
- Inspect your air conditioning. For large units, many HVAC companies will offer complimentary spring check-ups and cleanings. For window air conditioners simply turn the air on and ensure it works as intended. Our craftsmen can help remove and install window air conditioners, which can be purchased on acehardware.com or at your local Ace Hardware.
- Look for critters. Birds, rats, mice and other pests infiltrate the homes of unsuspecting Americans every winter. Make sure your walls, garage, shed, basement and attic aren't hosting any unwelcome guests.
- Check the plumbing. Minor plumbing issues can occur due to freezing without your knowledge. Plumbing issues should be addressed immediately because a small leak can quickly turn into a plumbing nightmare if left unrepaired.
- Change the direction of ceiling fans to turn counterclockwise. During Spring and Summer, this helps push cool air downwards toward the floor.
