Regular home
maintenance is important and frequently overlooked, especially in the summer.
Let’s face it, the
summer goes by so fast, who has time to worry about all the inner workings of
the house? We tend to forget about our air conditioning system. That is, until
it quits working on the hottest day of the summer!
That's why, we're providing a few
simple tasks and reminders you can do each month to keep your home in tip top
shape all year long.
Here’s some quick Home Maintenance To-Do’s that take less than 30 minutes each!
1.)
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!
Look
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 slot and
fireplace too! If you'd rather use a professional,
contact your utility company for a recommendation on a home energy auditor.
2.)
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 protect it during storms) and it will last for many
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!
3.)
