Let’s Talk About Gutters! 🏡✨ Gutters might not be glamorous, but they’re your home’s first defense against water damage! Neglecting them can lead to roof leaks, foundation cracks, landscaping erosion, and even pest infestations. Here’s how to keep them in top shape: ✔️ Clean Regularly: Clear out debris at least twice a year (spring & fall), or more if you have overhanging trees. Flush with a hose and check downspouts for clogs. ✔️ Inspect for Damage: Look for cracks, loose fasteners, sagging sections, or leaks at seams and joints. Patch small issues with sealant or caulk. ✔️ Gutter Guards Help: Consider installing mesh screens or foam inserts to reduce buildup and make maintenance easier. ✔️ Downspout Drainage Matters: Ensure water is directed 3–6 feet away from your home using extensions or splash blocks. By staying on top of these tasks, you’ll avoid costly repairs and keep your home protected year-round. Your gutters—and your wallet—will thank you! 💡 When’s the last time you checked your gutters?

Being a homeowner is hard sometimes. It can feel like a constant battle against your house, but we aren't going to let it get to us! We are slowly adding to our skills and tool belt each time we face another problem. We always assumed this was way too expensive to own, but have been shocked how good this one performs for $140. (Use the $60 off coupon!) Here's why we are excited to have it, and why you may want one yourself. -Thermal cameras can show you what you can't see! This is crucial for problem detection. If a tub, shower, floor, etc. leaks, this can easily indicate how far the water has gone under tile or carpet, or behind walls. - it can be used to identify areas where insulation may be insufficient. Point it at your ceiling and it will quickly show you the temperature variance! This is helpful so you can better insulate those areas and save $$ on energy costs!! -own an old house?? There are thousands of feet of wiring in your walls and areas that could be heating up without you knowing. This can highlight spots that may be potential fire hazards and save you there as well! -looking for animals in your attic or walls? They stand out like a sore thumb with this! Haha. Make sure to check it out while the $60 off coupon is there!

Changing Air Filters— Let’s Talk about It! Your air filters are the unsung heroes of your home! Keeping them clean isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about YOUR health. Here’s why air quality matters, how to stay on top of it, and some pro tips for clean, fresh air! 👇 Why is air quality so important? Your air filter traps dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even tiny bacteria. Without regular changes, these pollutants recirculate, worsening allergies, asthma, and even respiratory issues. Clean air = better sleep, healthier lungs, and happier life! 🔧 How to change your air filter (it’s easy!): 1️⃣ Turn off your HVAC system. Safety first! 2️⃣ Locate the filter slot. Usually in the return vent or near the furnace. 3️⃣ Slide out the old filter. Check its size (it’s printed on the frame). 4️⃣ Replace with a clean one. Make sure the airflow arrow matches the system direction! 🔁 When to replace? Every 2-3 months or potentially even more if you have pets, allergies, or live in a high-dust area. 💡 Pro Tips for Cleaner Air: ✔️ Use a filter with the right MERV rating (8–13 for most homes): • MERV 8: Good for basic filtration (dust & pollen). • MERV 11: Great for homes with pets. • MERV 13: Best for allergies and high air quality needs (captures bacteria & smoke). We use MERV 11-13 ✔️ Vacuum and dust your home weekly to reduce particles. ✔️ Use an air purifier for extra filtration. ✔️ Keep windows closed during high pollen or pollution days. 💰 Bonus: Changing filters also protects your HVAC system, saving you $$$ on repairs and energy bills! A dirty filter = more strain on your furnace and higher costs. We suggest ordering your filters on Amazon and setting the deliver frequency to every 3 months or less according to what is sufficient for your home! That way you won’t forget! Check your filter today. Let’s keep your home’s air clean, fresh, and healthy! #AirQualityMatters #CleanAirTips #HealthyHome #HVACTips #BreatheEasy
