Well, spring is definitely here with the warmer weather and higher pollen count. You probably have on your to-do list some home maintenance now that the weather is nicer. Our homes are often neglected during the cold winter months so now is the time to give them some extra tender loving care.
Maintenance Tip #1 – Clean the Gutters & Examine the Roof – Pine needles and debris are always gathering on our roof tops. The gutters should be cleaned out at least twice a year so during your spring maintenance is a great time to get them cleared out. While you are up there it is a good idea to examine your roof for any damage that may have occurred over the winter.
Maintenance Tip #2 – Service Your AC Unit – Now is the time to have a professional come and do a service call on your ac unit to make sure it is in good working order for the warm summer months. You never know when that first hot day will be so getting it ready now will ensure you can just turn it on when you need it. Also change any filters in the house.
Maintenance Tip #3 – Check the Smoke Detectors – It’s always a good idea to test your smoke detectors in the house to make sure they are working properly. If needed, change the batteries.
Maintenance Tip #4 – Inspect the Chimney – You will also want to have a professional come and inspect your chimney for any cracks or leaks that may have occurred during the winter. While they are up there, have them clean the flue so it is already to fire up next winter.
Maintenance Tip #5 – Give the Yard some TLC – With the warmer weather you will want to start to enjoy your yard again. So, wash off the patio and rack up the leaves, needles, and dead weeds. You may also want to get any planting beds ready for some spring flowers or summer vegetables.
