Summer in Texas doesn’t wait politely—it barges in, cranks up the thermostat, and dares your A/C to keep up. Before you fully shift into pool days and patio nights, take a few minutes to get your home in shape for the season.
Here’s your quick, homeowner-friendly summer readiness checklist (because no one wants surprises mid-heatwave):
Schedule a service or at least replace the air filter. Your A/C is about to become the MVP of the house—treat it like one.
Overgrown grass and thirsty plants? Not on our watch. Run a test cycle and check for leaks, clogged heads, or rogue sprinklers watering your sidewalk.
Feel a draft? Seal it up. Hot air sneaks in, and cool air leaks out—raising your electric bill faster than you can say “Sweet tea on the porch.”
Reverse them to spin counterclockwise for a cooling breeze and give those blades a wipe. Allergies and dust bunnies are not part of the summer vibe.
Sweep the patio, wash the furniture, and get that grill summer-party ready. Bonus points for string lights or citronella candles.
You’ll thank yourself later when it’s time to load it with watermelon, popsicles, and all the BBQ leftovers.
A quick flush removes sediment buildup that can zap efficiency—plus, no one wants a surprise cold shower after the pool.
Summer sun shows everything. If your trim or siding’s looking rough, a quick refresh goes a long way (and boosts curb appeal).
Summer means more grilling, more devices, and often more chaos. Stay safe by double-checking your alarms.
Time to find those floaties, lawn chairs, and cornhole boards. Bonus: room to park when the heat makes walking across the driveway feel like a punishment.
Final Thought:
Whether you’re staying put or considering a move this summer, keeping your home in top shape protects your investment and makes the season more enjoyable. If you’re thinking of selling, these small steps can also make a big impact on buyers.
