The time changed and we are all suffering from the hour loss. The time change to spring forward also signals that spring is just around the corner. The warmer weather has us thinking about planting flowers, putting down new mulch, and getting our homes ready for the spring season. Homeowners need to remember the importance of regularly scheduled maintenance to keep their homes in top condition and prevent costly repairs.
Here are some tips for homeowners to take care of before the heat and humidity hits East Tennessee;
- Caulk around all exterior windows and doors. Caulking keeps your house weather-tight and will help to reduce high summer energy bills. It will also help to keep unwanted insects out of your house.
- Clean the lint from the dryer vent system. Lint is very flammable and lint build up can create a fire hazard. And if you have a gas dryer, the build up will prevent proper ventilation and force deadly carbon monoxide back into your house.
- Reconnect your water hoses and check for leaks.
- Make sure the filter in your air condition system is clean. Replacing a dirty air filter will keep the airflow moving through the duct system and keep you from wasting money trying to cool your home because the fans are not moving air properly.
- Clean around the outside condenser. If there are leaves or plants that have grown up around the unit, remove them so they don’t interfere with airflow.
- Call Rocky Top Air to schedule a spring tune-up. The tune-up is just $49.95 and will get your air conditioning system ready for the warmer months and give you the piece of mind that your home will be comfortable when you come in from mowing the lawn.
