Just like we’re switching to iced coffee and SPF 50, your house needs a summer refresh too. Here are a few tips to prep your home for the Texas heat:

• Service the A/C – Don’t wait for it to quit during a heatwave. Schedule a tune-up and change your filter.
• Seal the Gaps – Caulk windows and doors to keep the cool air in and your electric bill low.
• Upgrade to Smart Thermostats – Helps regulate temp while you’re away and saves $$$.
• Trim Trees & Clear Gutters – Prevent storm damage and keep airflow around your home.
• Add Ceiling Fans or Solar Screens – Extra airflow = cooler vibes (and more energy efficiency).
• Switch to Light Linens – Pack up the flannel. Opt for cotton or linen to keep bedrooms breezy.
• Swap Bulbs – Incandescents give off heat. Try LEDs for a cooler glow and lower energy use.

Bonus: Buyers touring your home will notice how comfortable it feels—major win if you’re planning to sell this summer!
