Summer Begins!

Let the summer fun begin!

Although we have already enjoyed several warm days here in New England this year, the official first day of summer is June 20^th, 2016.   As we pack away winter coats (that went under used this year) there are some things you can do to prepare your home for the season.  

     - Clean your refrigerator coils

      -Change your ac filters

      -Ensure your condensation line is clear of clogs and operating normally

      -Inspect your driveway for any potential repairs needed from plowing

      -Let out heat from the attic –high temperatures are a regular cause of mold

      -Open windows to reduce moisture in your home

      -Install screen doors; ensure the screens are in good condition

      -Install reflective/tinted windows-this will protect your furnishing and reduce cooling costs!

      -Add plants to your home-plants reduce toxins in the home and even offer health benefits!

      -Secure your hose a safe distance from home, a slow leak has caused flooded basements

     - Inspect pool for any damage that may have occurred throughout the winter season
