Now that it is June, it’s important to get your house ready for summer. There are many simple ways to get your home ready for the hotter temperatures ahead.
Indoor
Changing your air filters is a simple thing to do that improves your quality of life. By changing your air filters, it makes it easier to breathe, especially if people in your home have allergies or illness. Additionally, if an air filter is clogged, it makes it much more difficult for air to pass through them, making the system work harder, which will then raise the energy bill.

Cleaning your windows and window screens is perfect to do in Spring, as it is still cool, and then gorgeous, clear windows can help to bring natural light into your home during the summer months. Being outside in that heat cleaning windows can be a hassle, and it’s even more difficult with kids out of school. In the summer, there are times where you turn off the air conditioning, and let your house air out. Having clean window screens is a great way to make your house feel cleaner, and having them be clean will make a big difference for letting more air in during the summer months. For windows, good cleaners include: Spray Way Glass Cleaner, Windex, or Hope’s Perfect Glass Cleaner.
Reverse your ceiling fans to turn counter-clockwise. Turning the blades counterclockwise will push the cool air down, which is much needed in the hotter months. This quick fix can benefit a household immensely, and provide relief at no cost.
Outdoor

Clean your yard. There is nothing worse than a beautiful day where you want to sit outside, and when you go outside, the furniture is dirty, there is no gardening done, and you have dead plants around. By taking the time in spring to clean up your yard, you will benefit immensely. By spending an afternoon in the spring weeding, removing dead plants and debris, you will be able to enjoy your yard, all summer long.
