Summer home maintenance checklist for La Grange, KY homes

Summer is when you are outside enough to notice what your house needs. Heat, humidity and pop-up storms around La Grange, Crestwood, Prospect and Goshen put steady wear on the exterior, and your air conditioner rarely gets a break.

Here are six things to check on your home this summer. They line up with our seasonal home maintenance visits, and a home maintenance plan keeps someone looking at them every year.

  • Clear space around the AC unit

    Shrubs, weeds and grass clippings crowd the outdoor unit in summer and can cut down on the airflow it needs.

  • Look for storm damage on siding

    Summer thunderstorms bring wind and sometimes hail, so check for dents, cracks and loose panels afterward.

  • Check window caulk in the summer sun

    Long, hot days dry out sealant, especially on south and west walls. Look for cracks and gaps around the frames.

  • Inspect deck boards and railings

    Sun and humidity can raise nails, split boards and loosen rails during the months you use the deck most.

  • Keep water moving away from the foundation

    After a downpour, look for wet spots near the house, since heavy summer rain can show where drainage falls short.

  • Trim plants back from the house

    Fast summer growth can trap moisture against siding and hide problems that are easier to catch in plain view.

11 POINTS ALL AROUND THE HOUSE

Summer exterior home inspection checklist for Oldham County, KY

Heat, humidity and sudden storms all leave marks on the outside of a house. Your summer visit includes the same 11-point exterior walkthrough we do each season, with an eye on what the hot months are doing to your home.

Here are six more spots to look at this summer. Everything we find goes into your photo report, so you can compare it with your spring visit.

  • Watch for foundation cracks in dry spells

    Soil can pull back from the house during dry weeks, so note new cracks or gaps along the base.

  • Check brick and mortar after heavy rain

    Summer downpours soak weak joints. Look for sandy mortar and for chalky stains that point to moisture.

  • Look for sun damage on the porch

    Peeling paint and bare wood show where sun and humidity have started wearing through the finish.

  • Check the driveway and walkways

    Hot days and shifting ground can open cracks and leave raised edges along the path to your door.

  • Inspect the patio before you entertain

    Look for wobbly pavers, weedy joints and rain that drains back toward the house instead of the yard.

  • Look for fence damage after storms

    Wind and falling limbs can loosen posts, crack boards and leave a gate that no longer latches.

The 11 points we walk: siding, brick and mortar, foundation, windows, driveway, porch, decks, patio, concrete and walkways, fence and gates, and mailbox. See how seasonal home care works.

This walkthrough is about upkeep. It is not a roof, hail or insurance inspection, so call a licensed pro if you need a formal report. If a repair is beyond what we do, members can ask us for contractor help.

KEEPING THE AIR MOVING

AC condenser coil cleaning and filter changes in La Grange, KY

Your air conditioner depends on air moving freely, both through the unit outside and the filter inside. Both are on the summer list for our seasonal home care visit.

Cleaned on your visit

Outdoor AC coil cleaning near Louisville

The coil outside releases the heat your system pulls from the house. When dirt and grass clippings cover it, the unit can have to work harder. Many homeowners have it cleaned about once a year, and it is on our summer list.

Signs your condenser coil needs cleaning

  • Fuzz, pollen or clippings cover the outside fins
  • The outdoor unit is crowded by plants
  • It has been a year or more since it was cleaned
  • Weak cooling means it is time to call an HVAC company

How often to change your AC filter in summer

Filter makers often suggest every one to three months, and sooner when the AC is running constantly or you have pets. Your summer visit includes a fresh HVAC air filter, so check the label to see if it needs changing between visits.

Signs your AC filter is due

  • The filter looks gray and clogged
  • Less air seems to come from the vents
  • The house collects more dust than normal
  • You cannot remember the last time you changed it

We clean the outdoor coil and change the filter. HVAC repairs, refrigerant work and tune-ups belong with an HVAC company, and members can ask us for contractor help.

SUMMER HOME MAINTENANCE FAQ

AC coil, filter and summer home care questions in La Grange, KY

Homeowners ask us about air conditioners, vacations and storm damage this time of year. Compare the rest of our seasonal home care, or talk it through at 502-248-9333.

How much does AC coil cleaning cost in La Grange, KY?

The coil is not priced by itself. Cleaning it is one part of the summer visit, which comes with the $299-a-quarter HomeSteady Care Membership or starts at $399 without one.

Can I clean my AC condenser coil myself?

Many homeowners rinse the outside fins with a gentle hose spray, but turn off the power to the unit first and follow your owner’s manual. If the fins look bent or you are unsure, leave it to a professional.

Is coil cleaning the same as an AC tune-up?

No. A tune-up and any repair on a system that is not cooling belong with an HVAC company. We keep to the outdoor coil and the air filter, and HomeSteady Care members can get our help finding one.

How do I find out what size AC filter my house uses?

The size is usually printed on the edge of the filter you have now. A photo of that edge sent with your request makes it easy for us to see what your system takes. You can leave filters at the house for us, or we can buy them and charge for them separately.

Do you wash windows inside and out in the summer?

Yes, on the summer visit. Before we schedule, we go over the number of windows and what we can safely reach. Call 502-248-9333 if your house has tall or hard-to-reach glass.

Does the summer visit include gutter cleaning?

No. Gutters and downspouts are on our fall visit, when the leaves are the bigger issue. If a gutter looks wrong in summer, tell us and we will talk through your options.

Do you repair storm damage after a summer storm?

A small fix may be something we can do once you approve it. For larger damage, HomeSteady Care members can get our help finding a contractor, and questions about insurance claims should go to your insurance company.

Can you help with my house while I am on vacation?

We can water your plants for $120, and HomeSteady Care members save 10%. We do not offer a home watch service.

Do I need to be home for my summer visit?

We need a way inside for the air filter and the indoor side of the windows. Tell us what works best for your household when you book, and we will plan around it.

When should I schedule summer home maintenance?

Early is better, since an air conditioner works hardest in the hottest weeks. We need at least 3 days’ notice, and booking a week ahead gives you more dates to choose from.
