As temperatures rise and we shift from spring into summer, itās the perfect time to make sure your home is ready to handle the heat. Iāve been tackling a few projects around my own home, and I wanted to share some helpful tips that can help you protect your home and investmentāwhile keeping things cool, clean, and efficient for the months ahead.
Here are three simple but essential home maintenance tasks Iām working on this seasonāand ones you might want to add to your list:
1ļøā£ Schedule Your HVAC Service
Before the 90- to 100-degree days hit, make sure your air conditioning system is ready to handle it. I'm bringing out a trusted HVAC technician to inspect my system, run diagnostics, and ensure everything is in working order.
A quick HVAC checkup now could save you from a costly breakdown mid-summerāand help your system run more efficiently, keeping energy bills down.
ā Pro Tip: If you havenāt serviced your HVAC in the past 12 months, schedule it now.
2ļøā£ Touch Up Exterior Paint and Fascia Boards
This time of year is ideal for addressing peeling paint or exposed wood on your homeās exterior. Iāve got some painting projects Iām wrapping up, including fascia board touch-ups.
Why is this important? Peeling paint can expose your home to water damage, wood rot, and sun damageāespecially in high-heat months. A quick refresh by a painter can prevent long-term issues and preserve your homeās curb appeal.
3ļøā£ Check Your Landscaping and Irrigation
I just installed new landscaping and am now adding irrigation to make sure everything stays watered during the summer monthsāespecially when things get busy and I forget to do it manually!
If youāve planted recently or want to keep your yard thriving during the heat, this is the time to check sprinkler timers, drip systems, and water flow.
š” Even drought-tolerant landscaping needs strategic watering.
