Summer Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

Given the cost of repairing mechanical equipment such as HVACs, refrigerators, furnaces, roofs, and bathrooms fans, it makes sense for homeowners (and property managers) to keep an eye on them. Summer will bring especially heavy loads on HVAC systems.

If you missed the spring maintenance tips post, well it’s not too late to beat the summer heat coming. From changing the furnace filter, listening to the HVAC, and clearing leaves and debris out of the roof gutter, you can help a lot.
