A Moment with Marianne...

HOME PROJECTS FOR JUNE

Summer has just arrived. Put these home projects on the Must-do list for June & get the house ready for the dog days of summer.

AIR CONDITIONER CHECKUP
Don’t wait until it dies to have the a/c serviced. Make sure it’s ready for the hottest months of the year. Properly maintained, the cooling system runs more efficiently & has a longer life expectancy.

PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT
Traditional thermostats can waste both money & energy. Consider installing a programmable thermostat.

TURN ON CEILING FANS
When used properly, fans can greatly improve comfort levels. Ceiling fans make people feel cooler by circulating air across the skin and creating a wind chill effect.

REPAIR SCREENS
If damaged, screens can allow insects, leaves & other debris to get into the home. Check all windows and doors and repair any damaged screens.
