Who\u2019s happy to be on the fast track to spring? While we’ve spent winter cold and worried about the flu, and plenty of other viruses, there\u2019s no doubt we\u2019re ready for spring. However, spring comes with its own set of problems: allergies. On top of that, the weather will be warming up and our HVAC systems<\/a> need to be prepared to avoid costly breakdowns! Check out the steps on our spring maintenance checklist for Lake Martin<\/a> homes and beyond!<\/span><\/p>\n Spring is known as allergy season, and if you\u2019re not prepared to fight against it, you could be looking at a harsh couple of months. On top of that, if your HVAC system<\/a> isn\u2019t prepared for the changing weather, you could also be looking at expensive repairs or an uncomfortable home for the season. Getting spring maintenance before the weather gets too warm ensures less risk of a costly HVAC breakdown, and adding an air purification system helps win the fight against allergens in your home this spring, and even bacteria and viruses next winter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As winter comes to a close, limbs, leaves, dirt, and other debris from this season may be built up around your home, causing potential issues to your HVAC system<\/a>\u2019s performance this spring. Clean around your outdoor system and clear any bushes or overhanging limbs from around your unit, as they\u2019ll begin to bloom and grow through the spring. Keeping your outdoor system and the area around it clean will allow for better airflow and system performance all season long.<\/span><\/p>\n While you\u2019re outside, you should also clean your gutters, check the chimney and clear any obstructions, examine the roof and get any needed repairs, and check for and seal any cracks or gaps around windows and doors. Keeping these areas taken care of throughout the year will go a long way toward keeping your home in tip-top shape for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n Lake houses, being so close to water in a high-humidity climate, are prone to moisture and fungal buildup. Check for signs of moisture from plumbing leaks, roof leaks, built up condensation, air conditioner condensate, and all systems inside the home such as sinks and toilets. Built up moisture can cause harmful fungal growth such as mold and mildew to spawn, which could damage drywall, wood, flooring, or even worse – it could cause harm to your respiratory system.<\/span><\/p>\n During spring, there are so many beautiful blooms in nature all around us. While we love this beauty that compares to no other season, it also means allergens can run rampant in your home more during the spring than any other time of the year. A few quick tips on keeping your air purified:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We mentioned keeping your pets groomed in the previous section, but this is a big one, so we want to go into more detail. Do you know what your pets bring inside your home? After playing in the sun, allergens such as pollen get stuck on your pets\u2019 fur, just like it does on our hair and clothes when we\u2019re outside. Along with pollen, your pets bring in dirt, and plenty of other allergens that will enter the air in your home. That\u2019s not to say you should get rid of your pets! They\u2019re actually proven to be a great way to help build your immune system! However, cutting down on the amount of allergens they bring into your home is never a bad idea.
