While summer in Minnesota brings joy, it also brings unique considerations for your home's systems. And let's not forget, it's never too early to think about preparing for the next cold snap!

Summer Plumbing Prep: Avoiding Pesky ProblemsWith more time spent outdoors and often more activity indoors (think grilling, gardening, and maybe a few extra loads of laundry from swimsuits!), your plumbing system gets a workout.

• Check Outdoor Faucets & Hoses: Before hooking up the sprinkler, inspect your outdoor spigots for drips or leaks. A small leak now can become a bigger problem later, and waste water!
• Garbage Disposal Care: Summer fruits and veggies are great, but some scraps (like corn husks, fruit pits, or excessive potato peels) are tough on disposals. Remember to use plenty of cold water when running it, and avoid putting down anything stringy, hard, or greasy.
• Sump Pump Check: Spring rains might be behind us, but summer storms can still dump a lot of water. Give your sump pump a quick test run by pouring a bucket of water into the pit to ensure it activates properly.
• Water Heater Efficiency: While you might not notice it as much in warmer weather, your water heater is always working. Consider scheduling an annual flush to remove sediment, which improves efficiency and extends its lifespan.

Beat the Heat: AC Tune-Ups for White Bear Lake SummersAfter a long winter, your air conditioner is ready to work overtime. Don't wait for the first sweltering day to find out it's not performing optimally!

• Pre-Season AC Tune-Up: This is crucial. A professional tune-up ensures your system is clean, all components are functioning correctly, and refrigerant levels are ideal. This not only keeps you cooler but also prevents costly breakdowns and reduces your energy bills.
• Change Your Filters: A simple yet effective step! A clean air filter improves air quality and allows your AC to run more efficiently. Check it monthly, especially during heavy use.
• Clear Outdoor Unit: Make sure the outdoor condenser unit (the big box outside your house) is free of leaves, grass clippings, and other debris that can block airflow.
