Texas Homeowners: Is There More to Spring Than Cleaning?

When the weather finally warms, most people think about spring cleaning their Dumas, Texas, home; however, that’s not the only necessity this spring. Make sure you cover other aspects of your home this spring as well. 

Have Your IAQ Tested

While everyone is enjoying the warmer weather of spring, others are reaching for their allergy medicine. Spring tends to aggravate allergies, but you may not realize that poor IAQ can trigger allergy-like symptoms as well. 

Now is the time to have your indoor air quality tested to make sure the air inside your home doesn’t make you sick. Poor IAQ can trigger asthma attacks, cause headaches, sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. Even if your IAQ is fine, you should still implement strategies to prevent poor IAQ in the future. 

Request Preventative Maintenance

Before summer hits and you need to crank up the air conditioning, schedule an appointment for preventative maintenance on your HVAC system. Your HVAC contractor will make sure your system is ready for summer, and you won’t have to worry about whether your system is running efficiently or there is a risk it could break down during the hot summer months. Your HVAC contractor will also change your air filters improving your air quality in your home as well. 

Redecorate Your Home 

It’s time to take down those heavy curtains, and replace them with something light and breezy. Since you already have to clean, you might as well do something fun and redecorate your home as well. Now is the perfect time to repaint a room, add an accent wall, or even renovate an area of your home. Also, bring in added touches like fresh flowers throughout your home, which can improve air quality and be a natural air freshener.
