Top Tips to Prepare for Summer (INFOGRAPHIC)

With summer on the way, you need to ensure that your home is ready for the hotter months. We have created a shortlist of things to look into that will help to get your home ready for summer.

1) Have your gutters and downpipes cleaned

Gutters are prone to clogging up with leaves and all kinds of debris. During the hotter summer months, you will want to capture as much water as possible so keeping your gutters and downpipes clean and clear will help with water catchment.

2) Have pipe inspections carried out

With the increase in baths and showers during summer to keep you and your family cool you need to make sure that your pipes are up to the challenge. Whether you have had blocked drains in the past or not having a pipe inspection can help to uncover any future blockages.

3) Check taps, pipes and sprinklers for leaks

Leaks are a nightmare for water bills. Over summer more water gets used than any other season. To ensure that you are only paying for the water that you are using it is strongly advised to get your local plumber out to check for any leaks throughout your home.

Save on hot water heating

During summer it is hot, some people even adopt having a second shower for the day to keep cool before bed. One idea to help keep additional bills down is to turn down the hot water temperature on your hot water system. As you won't be using as much hot water why pay to keep water hot all day.
