Summer Home Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Cool

You know that feeling when you finally get a moment to breathe—and then notice your house feels warmer than it should? Or that subtle panic when your energy bill creeps up and you’re not sure why?

That’s exactly when most homeowners across the Greater Denver Area remember it’s time for summer maintenance.

Here at Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we’ve helped thousands of families from Aurora to Arvada and Highlands Ranch to Henderson stay ahead of seasonal stress. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this: the best time to take care of your home systems is before something breaks.

That’s why we created a quick Summer Home Maintenance Checklist and why we’re walking through it here, so you know what’s worth doing, what can wait, and how our Care Club takes all the guesswork off your plate.

Let’s dive in—and get your home ready for whatever summer throws your way.

Simple Summer AC Maintenance to Keep You Cool and Comfortable

Your cooling system works hard all summer long. A few quick checks can help it stay efficient—and prevent surprises when you’re trying to relax at home.

If you haven’t already:

• Change or clean your air filter
• Clear grass or debris from the outdoor AC unit
• Make sure all indoor vents are open and clean
• Double-check thermostat settings

But here’s the deal—basic steps only go so far. AC systems work overtime during peak heat, and if they haven’t been professionally maintained this year, you’re playing with fire (or at least sweat). That’s why we always recommend a seasonal AC tune-up. We’ll clean your system, check refrigerant levels, test performance, and make sure you’re not just cooling your home—you’re doing it efficiently.

Easy Summer Electrical Safety Tips for Your Home

Between fans, outdoor setups, and Colorado’s wild summer storms, your home’s electrical system has a lot going on. These quick steps help keep everything running safely.

To stay safe:

• Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
• Reverse your ceiling fans for better airflow
• Check outdoor outlets and cords for wear
• Consider whole-home surge protection
• Thinking about outdoor outlets or panel upgrades? Let’s talk

We help with all of it—and yes, Care Club customers get priority scheduling, even during high-demand summer weeks.

Quick Fixes Indoors That Keep Big Problems Away

A few simple tasks indoors can go a long way toward keeping your home comfortable, efficient, and ready for guests—or just a quiet night in.

• Clean kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans
• Wash windows and wipe down door frames
• Seal up small gaps to keep bugs and heat out
• Use smart timers if you’re away

These might seem like little chores, but they add up in energy use, indoor air quality, and general comfort. And if something’s feeling “off,” don’t ignore that instinct. Call us—we’ll take a look before it becomes a big deal.

Remember, Done! never charges extra for nights or weekends, so you don’t have to rearrange your life just to keep it running.

Summer Plumbing Maintenance You’ll Be Glad You Did

Summer means higher water use—and more chances for small plumbing issues to become big ones. These quick checks help you stay ahead of leaks, clogs, or pressure drops.

Don’t skip these:

• Inspect outdoor faucets for drips or leaks
• Check under sinks for signs of moisture or corrosion
• Test your home’s water pressure
• Flush your water heater to reduce sediment buildup
• Hearing strange sounds? We’re here to help

Care Club coverage includes annual plumbing checks and water heater flushes—because prevention always costs less than an emergency.
