Summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start getting your home ready for the warm weather!

Deep Cleaning
The first way to get your home ready for summer is to deep clean it from top to bottom. This means getting rid of all the dirt and dust that has built up over the winter months. If you’ve already done a spring cleaning, giving your home another pass is a great way to ensure that you’ve cleared out any extraneous clutter that wasn’t removed during the first cleaning. Splitting your spring cleaning into two parts will also make it feel like less of a chore (and we all know how much of a drag it can be).
Have Your Heating and Air Conditioning System Serviced
Another important task to complete before summer arrives is having your heating and air conditioning system serviced. This will help ensure that your system is in good working order, and that you won’t have any problems with it when the weather starts to heat up. There are many HVAC companies that offer seasonal services that will summerize your heater before it gets warm out and winterize your sir conditioner before winter. Performing this routine maintenance will help your heating and cooling systems work more efficiently and last longer.
Start Planning Your Projects Around The House
One of the best things about summer is that it’s a great time to take on some home improvement projects. Whether that means adding a new coat of paint to a room, repairing a fence, or installing new lights in your backyard, planning early helps you keep an eye out for sales and it allows you the time to plan the projects out from start to finish.
Install Ceiling Fans
While this is a much more specific step that some of the others, there’s a good reason for it. Ceiling fans are one of the most effective ways to lower your electricity bills during the summer without sacrificing your comfort. Ceiling fans are designed to pull warm air up to the ceiling and push down cooler air. They are so effective that if you turn down your air conditioner and use your fan, you can see a significant savings on your energy bills. Ceiling fans are also a terrific design element that can serve as a terrific accent or focal point for any room.
