What better way to welcome the first day of summer than by celebrating the dads who make every season special? ☀️
The hot weather is here and we've got some recommendations for you to keep your home in tip top shape!
Keep your overhead garage door tightly closed at all times. This will prevent unnecessary fluctuations in temperature to living areas above or adjacent to the garage.
Do not "dial up" the thermostat while you are away. Maintaining a steady temperature will limit the potential for your air conditioning to have difficulty cooling and will maximize your ability to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home.
When it comes to central air conditioning, cleaning your air conditioner coils is integral to the long-term health of the system.
Close all blinds or window treatments to minimize the suns effect on household items and temperatures in your home.
Keep the windows latched and closed! With extreme temperatures vinyl windows may not fully seal otherwise because vinyl expands and contracts with changes in temperatures.
If you have a storm door, remove the glass panel in exchange for the screen to minimize excessive heat that can build up between your entry door and the storm door if not properly ventilated.
If you are watering your lawn the optimum time is early in the morning or during the day. Do not fertilize in extreme hot or dry conditions, the chemical reaction may burn the surface of your grass.
Watering your plantings and parkway trees is essential to their growth!
Avoid walking on your roof shingles due to their malleable surface.
Always remember to stay hydrated and protect yourself from harsh UV rays when working on outdoor projects!
