Spring is the perfect time for a quick tune up that will boost comfort and help you save money all summer long.
Inside:
- Maintain your HVAC. Change filters and schedule a professional cleaning for better efficiency.
- Seal windows and doors. Fresh caulk and weatherstripping keep cool air in and costs down.
- Check for basement leaks. Fix small cracks with hydraulic cement and call a pro if problems persist.
- Seal attic gaps. Use caulk or foam around vents, fans, and light fixtures to prevent air loss.
Outside:
- Inspect your roof. Look for winter damage and have flashing or chimney areas checked if your roof is aging.
- Clear gutters. Remove debris and secure any loose sections before spring rains arrive.
- Trim trees and bushes. Keep greenery away from your home to prevent mold and protect siding and the roof.
- Improve grading. Ensure soil slopes away from your foundation to avoid water seeping into your basement.
With a few simple tasks, your home will be ready for warmer days — and lower energy bills.
