5 tips to help New York homeowners better prepare for spring

"When people think of spring, they often think of leaves growing back on trees and colder, snowier weather," said Michael Petri , owner of Petri Plumbing & Heating. "Part of this change includes seasonal allergies caused by pollen entering our homes preventing us from breathing and enjoying the new season. Additionally, homeowners can see an increase in utility bills when they switch to their air conditioners. . ""

To help homeowners prepare their homes for spring, the Petri Plumbing & Heating team gives tips on how to prepare their homes for the new season:

• Change Air Filters - Changing air filters is one of the easiest and most common things a homeowner can do to prepare for the season. Spring is known for its accompanying allergies. Replacing the air filter can help keep allergens from circulating in a household and improve indoor air quality.
• Look for a Leaking Toilet - A simple leak around the toilet can not only cost you money on your utility bills, it can damage the floor. Smell the floor around the toilet for wet spots. If so, there is a good chance the seal is broken or a bad seal.
• Clean all air vents - Clearing all air vents of accumulated dust and particles will keep the air in a house clean. This is another step in improving the IAQ.
• Flush the water heater: Regularly flushing the water heater will only have a positive effect on your plumbing system. This will help prevent calcium build-up on the bottom of the device. The build-up of calcium can adversely affect the interior of the water heater and may need to be replaced by the owner.
• Consider Buying a Programmable Thermostat - A programmable thermostat offers homeowners advantages in controlling the temperature in a home. These thermostats can be programmed with a computer or smart device so that the owner can control them while on the go. This creates efficiency and keeps the money in the owner's pocket.

"Preparing your home for spring is about more than having extra money in your pocket," said Petri. "It's about making sure your home is running efficiently so you and your family can get the most out of the season at home or on the go."
