Spring & summer home checklist
Get ready for the heat, the bugs and fire season.
Tune up the air conditioning
A check before the first hot week avoids a breakdown when you need it most.
Clear dry brush and yard debris
Defensible space around the house matters in fire season.
Treat for ants and pests
An outside treatment before summer keeps ants from moving in.
Check sprinklers and drip lines
Leaks and broken heads waste water and money - and Valley Water has rebates for efficient irrigation.
Pressure wash walkways, patios and the driveway
Clears winter grime and slippery moss.
Repair window screens
Keeps bugs out once the windows are open.
