Preparing Your North Texas Home for Spring and Summer.

As spring emerges across North Texas, now is the time to prepare your home for the spring and summer months ahead. With temperatures climbing and summer’s intense heat approaching, a well-maintained home provides comfort and protection for the months ahead.

Weather Ready

North Texas springs bring unpredictable weather patterns that challenge even the most well-maintained properties. Before summer arrives, make sure you do the following:

  • Examine your roof for any missing shingles or damage.
  • Clear your gutters of debris to prevent water damage during spring downpours.
  • Inspect your window and door seals to identify any air leaks that could compromise your home’s energy efficiency.
  • Download a storm tracking app to your cell phone or bookmark the National Weather Service .

If you do end up with some storm damage at your home, please read our blog post about what to do after a hailstorm.

Prepare your HVAC: Your First Line of Defense to Beat the Heat

Give your AC System some attention before summer arrives. North Texas temperatures often exceed 100 degrees, putting an extraordinary demand on your cooling system.

  • Replace your air filters to improve indoor air quality and system efficiency.
  • Clear any debris from around your outdoor condenser.
  • Consider having a professional tune-up to identify potential issues before they become a costly emergency.
  • Test your system in spring to address any concerns before the first heatwave.

Pest Prevention Measures

Warmer weather brings increased pest activity. Take some proactive steps.

  • Seal entry points around your foundation, windows, and doors.
  • Remove standing water sources that attract mosquitoes.
  • Trim vegetation away from the exterior of your home to reduce access points.
  • Consider a pest control service.
