Interior Spring Maintenance Tips
Spring is Coming
Maximize time indoors with three essential spring maintenance tips all Minnesota homeowners can do to prepare your homes for warmer weather:
1️⃣ Check & Service Your HVAC System 🌬️
Before the summer heat arrives, schedule a tune-up for your air conditioning unit to ensure it’s running efficiently. Clean or replace air filters, check for leaks, and clear any debris around the outdoor unit. A well-maintained system can lower energy bills and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
2️⃣ Inspect Windows & Doors for Leaks 🏡
Winter can cause sealant cracks and air leaks around windows and doors. Check for drafts and reapply weather stripping or caulking as needed. This helps keep cool air inside during the summer, improving energy efficiency and comfort.
3️⃣ Test & Clean Your Sump Pump 💦
With spring thaw and rain, a functioning sump pump is crucial to prevent basement flooding. Pour water into the pit to test its operation, and clean out any debris that may cause clogs. Consider a battery backup in case of power outages during storms.
These simple maintenance tasks can help protect your home and ensure a smooth transition into warmer weather! 🌷☀️
