Central Texas summer is almost here, which means triple-digit temperatures, strong sun, and higher energy bills are right around the corner. Now is the perfect time to tackle a few simple home maintenance tasks before the heat really sets in.

Here are a few pre-summer home tips:

• Service your HVAC system and change air filters
• Check weather stripping around doors and windows
• Clean ceiling fans and set them to rotate counterclockwise
• Inspect sprinklers and irrigation systems
• Trim trees and refresh landscaping
• Power wash patios, siding, and outdoor spaces
• Make sure your roof and gutters are ready for summer storms

A little preventative maintenance now can help keep your home cooler, more efficient, and protected all summer long.
