Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Home Improvement Projects

Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Home Improvement Projects

July 6, 2023
Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Home Improvement Projects Are you one of those homeowners who love the idea of a well-maintained home, but you just seem to put things off and don't know why? Maybe you aren't sure where to start or what to tackle first. Maybe you think you just don’t have the extra cash to invest. Or, you just don’t think you have the time to do it on your own. The good news is, the summer season might just be the perfect time to embark on those home improvement projects you've been dreaming of. From painting and repairs to yard enhancements, summer provides the ideal conditions to turn your house into your dream home. And at TruBlue House Care, we are ready to assist you every step of the way. Why Summer? The beauty of summer extends beyond sunny beaches and barbeque parties. It also brings optimal conditions for home improvement. Here's why: 1. Ideal Weather: Summer is an excellent time for home renovations due to its reliably warm and dry conditions. Unlike the unpredictable weather of other seasons, summer allows for seamless outdoor work, whether it's repainting your house exterior or revitalizing your yard, without the worry of rain-induced delays. 2. Longer Days: The extended daylight hours of summer provide more time for home improvement projects. With daylight lasting well into the evening, you can accelerate tasks such as deck replacements, exterior and interior painting, or roof installations, making the most of natural light and saving on energy. 3. Vacation Time: Summer vacations offer an excellent opportunity to progress home renovations while avoiding living amidst construction. Entrust your home improvement tasks to TruBlue while you're on holiday, and return to a beautifully renovated and refreshed home. Or plan to spend some of your vacation money on a do-it -ourself renovation - and enjoy the benefits for years to come! Projects Perfect for Summer While some projects can be handled anytime, certain ones are best suited for the summer months. Here are a few: 1. Painting: Warm temperatures are perfect for exterior and interior painting projects. Paint dries quickly and evenly in dry, warm conditions, which makes summer the optimal time to refresh your home's appearance. 2. Landscaping: Whether you want a complete yard makeover or a simple refresh, summer is an ideal time. A little updating goes a long way to maintaining a vibrant, lush outdoor space perfect for summer gatherings. 3. Deck and Patio Improvements: Decks and patios are places to relax and entertain in the summer. So, why not make yours as comfortable and inviting as possible? From building a new one to maintaining an existing one, we’ve got you covered. 4. Roofing and Gutter Maintenance: Prevent leaks and water damage by scheduling roof and gutter maintenance during the dry months. Let our team help you identify and fix issues before they become costly repairs.

Vacation-Proof Your Home

Vacation-Proof Your Home

June 19, 2023
5 Ways to Vacation-Proof Your Home Make your Home Vacation-Ready: Essential Tips before you Hit the Road this Summer Summer is one of the biggest times for traveling, especially in America. It’s a great time to pack up our bags and set off on adventures to discover new places all over the globe. Before you set off on these adventures, it’s important to ensure that your home is vacation ready. Preparing your home for a vacation can help you prevent potential issues, and costs and give you peace of mind to not worry about your home while you’re away. Here at TruBlue, we’ve pieced together some extremely important tips for those traveling this summer. Secure Your Home One of the biggest concerns when leaving your home for an extended period of time is security. Making sure that all your windows and doors are locked prior to leaving is an extremely important task to complete. Another thing to consider is installing a security system if you don’t already have one. The convenience of modern security systems allows for you to be able to check on your home anywhere in the world via your smartphone, which can provide you with real-time peace of mind. Prepare Your Appliances Something that people overlook is the risk of wasting energy as well as the potential for electrical fires. To prevent electrical fires, you want to ensure appliances such as your refrigerator are working properly.. Another thing related to refrigerators that a lot of people forget about- is to clean them out prior to leaving. You don’t want to leave a bunch of food in your fridge that may go bad while you aren’t home. No one wants to deal with a smelly fridge, especially not right after a trip. Another appliance that should be adjusted is your water heater, setting it to eco or vacation mode will help it conserve energy. Since it is summer now, you don’t need to worry about pipes freezing, however, if it was the winter you should keep it at at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Take Care of Your Plants/Animals If you have plants or animals, make sure that they’re being watched properly while on vacation. Whether you need someone to come into your home and water your plants, or whether you need someone to look after your pets, both are important. If you have a garden, you can set up a sprinkler system on a timer to make sure that your plants are watered properly while you're gone. While, having someone come to water your plants, you can also have them take care of your pets. Having a dedicated sitter come to the home a few times a day to check water and food supplies for your animals and take them on a walk, if needed, can make your pets feel much less afraid by keeping them in a familiar area. Prevent Potential Water Damage Preventing potential water damage can be extremely simple, especially with how much of a headache it can cause down the road. Before leaving, check your home for leaks and potential problem areas. Consider turning off the water supply to things such as your washer and your dishwashers to potentially prevent water damage. If leaving for a much longer period of time, consider shutting off your main water supply to your home, and only keep things on such as sprinklers unless they’re essential to maintaining your lawn or garden. Notify your Neighbors Letting your neighbors know that you will be gone is another great thing to do especially if you don’t have a proper home security system. Your neighbors can keep an eye on your home and ensure that the authorities are made aware of any suspicious activity that happens at your house while you're gone. In Conclusion Properly preparing your home for your vacation can save you so much stress, both while on your vacation as well as on your return home. So, before you hit the road, take some time to make your home truly vacation-ready, maybe incorporating just a few of the ideas stated in this article. At TruBlue we provide a unique and affordable approach to help you prepare your home- both inside and out- for vacation and the summer months ahead. Let us know if you need help with anything around your home to ensure a stress-free and fun trip. Safe travels to you and your family!
Stay Cool This Summer: DIY Air Conditioning Maintenance Tips for the Summer Heat

Stay Cool This Summer: DIY Air Conditioning Maintenance Tips for the Summer Heat

June 6, 2023
As the summer heats up, and the warmth steadily increases each month, your air conditioning becomes more and more important in providing you with a haven of cool comfort in your home. Just like you maintain your car, consider maintaining your AC unit. A well-maintained air conditioning units provide you with reduced energy consumption, lowers your monthly utility bills and increases the longevity of your AC system. Armed with the right information and just a little bit of dedication, you can do quite a bit of maintenance tasks that can keep your AC running smoothly through the summer and well into the future. 1. Clean and Replace Your Filters One of the most essential maintenance tasks regarding your AC unit is simply replacing your air filters. These filters trap dust, pollen, and other particles in your air, which keeps your air clean and healthy. If you leave your AC filters unchecked and clogged, it can cause your AC system to work harder and lead to both increased energy consumption and potentially even damaging your system, and depending on your system you may have to replace or at least clean these filters once a month. 2. Inspect your Condenser Unit Another essential maintenance checkup is to inspect your condenser unit. The condenser unit is the part of your AC system that sits outside, which can cause a variety of problems. The condenser unit can get debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt, which again can not only affect airflow from the outside but also damage the condenser, sometimes permanently. 3. Check your Thermostat Keeping a keen eye on your thermostat can also be a critical part of maintaining an air conditioner system. Making sure that the thermostat is properly reading the temperature of your room can ensure both your unit is working properly along with your thermostat. If your old thermostat isn’t quite cutting it, you can look at installing a modern thermostat. These thermostats are great for being able to use smart technology and allows you to maximize your energy efficiency by setting schedules and showing real-time consumption. 4. Cleaning your AC Coils Alongside inspecting your condenser unit, you can also check, and clean your AC coils. Similar to your AC filters on the inside, your AC coils on the outside can build up lots of dust and dirt over time. Again, similar to your filters on the inside, this can reduce cooling capacity as well as increase energy consumption. This should be done both at the beginning and end of the summer, however, be careful to avoid damaging the fins on the coil as they are very delicate. 5. Insulate and Seal Ductwork Another crucial area to look at is your internal AC systems ductwork. It brings cooled air from your unit all throughout your home. Over time your ducts can form leaks causing cool air to leak out before reaching its destination, again using more energy and costing you money. In areas such as a basement or attic, you can look for obvious leaks, which you can seal with mastic sealant or metal tape Maintaining a properly functioning AC is extremely important, especially during these summer months when it can get extremely hot. Having someone such as a TruBlue Home Service Ally technician inspect your unit can help ensure that downtime this summer is a thing of the past, whether just AC or the rest of your summertime maintenance needs as a homeowner.
