Spring Up Your
Home's Curb Appeal
 Spring
is just ahead and
getting an early
start on projects
can save time and
money. Is this the
year to build your
dream kitchen or
bathroom, or enhance
your yard with a new
deck, patio,
landscaping or pool?
Whether a major
project or simple
home cleaning,
follow these tips to
welcome spring into
your home.
Your Windows: Are
They Doing the Work?
If you noticed that
your windows were
leaking cold air
into your home all
winter, the mild
weather in spring
could be the best
time for you to
invest in some new,
energy efficient
windows.
Double-paned windows
can help retain the
heat from inside
your home, and help
to block the cold
air outside from
wandering indoors.
Energy Star windows
are also an
excellent option on
the high end, but
they offer so much
return on those
ever-rising energy
bills that when
computed over their
life, they end up
being cheaper in the
long run. You will
definitely see an
immediate difference
on your energy
bills, which will
seem like an instant
discount every
month.
Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning is
the first chore that
usually comes to
mind when we think
of getting your
house ready for
spring. Your home
has been sealed up
all winter, and you
have done your best
to keep the winter
weather from seeping
in from around the
doors and windows.
But what has
happened is that you
have not allowed
dust and dirt a
chance to circulate
out of your home,
and whether or not
you can see it, it
is sitting all over
your house.
Duct Cleaning
While on the subject
of trapped air in
your home, this is
the optimum time of
the year to have
your ducts cleaned.
The air intake for
your heating unit
has been sucking in
dust, dirt, and lint
all winter and
depositing much of
this in the vents
and the unit itself.
Before the heat
comes on forcing you
to use the air
conditioner, hire a
contractor to clean
those filthy ducts
and intakes so that
this won't be
blowing on you and
your family all
summer long. The
duct cleaning
process is quick,
painless, and nearly
free when you
consider how much
you will save in
energy efficiency
from having cleared
ducts.
