As we bid farewell to winter and welcome the vibrant colors of spring, it’s paramount to prepare your home for the transition. At Academy Plumbing, Heating, AC, and Electric, we’re committed to ensuring that your home is ready for the warmer temperatures in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We’ve compiled five crucial tips to help you get started.

1. Change the Batteries in Your Thermostat and Smoke Alarms: As simple as it sounds, this task often gets overlooked. Ensure your thermostat and smoke alarms are functioning correctly by replacing the batteries.
2. Pull Garden Hose Bib Covers: With the temperature rising, it’s time to remove any bib covers from your outdoor faucets. This will prepare your hoses for the spring and summer watering season.
3. Change Your Air Filter: After a long winter, your HVAC system could use some freshening up. Changing the air filter will improve its efficiency and the air quality in your home.
4. Check Your Outdoor Plumbing: Make sure to inspect your outdoor plumbing fixtures for any possible leaks or damages that might have occurred during winter. Early detection can save you from costly repairs.
5. Check Pads and Parts on Your Evaporative Cooler: Living in the high desert of Albuquerque means many of us rely on evaporative coolers. Now is the perfect time to check the pads and parts, ensuring they’re in good condition for the upcoming dry months.

Preparing your home for spring doesn’t need to be daunting. By following these tips, you’ll ensure a smooth transition into the warmer months.
