Your Start of Summer Guide

Summer is here and so is the season for graduation parties, outdoor birthday parties and more! At JB Hostetter & Sons, our team is here to help make sure that you’re fully stocked with the right items and tips to make your sunny season a smooth one. 

The Graduation & Summer Party Checklist

Your home will be the host of summer parties this year, great! Don’t forget these items so that you’re not running out last minute to grab them.

• Power Your Party: From live music to decorative string lights, having extra heavy-duty outdoor extension cords is essential for powering fans, charging electronics, and lighting up the night.
• Clean Space: Set up dedicated trash and recycling cans so empty plates and cans don’t litter your yard. Grab a sturdy multi-surface push broom to quickly sweep away dirt and debris before guests arrive.
• Secure Furniture: Check your patio sets, benches, and deck railings to ensure all bolts are tight and secure after a long winter. Loose hardware can quickly become a safety hazard.
• Bugs Be Gone: Keep mosquitoes away from your seating areas with citronella candles and torches so your guests can enjoy the conversation in peace.
• Grilling Equipment: A rusty grill won’t make for delicious burgers. Upgrade your backyard kitchen with a brand-new Weber grill. This month, Ace Rewards members earn 3x points on Weber Grill purchases of $399 or more!

Keep it Cool

Keeping your AC running efficiently is the key to a comfortable home. Use these quick tips to make sure you and your guests stay refreshed:

• Check Air Filters: It is easy to forget, but changing your air filters every three months keeps your system running at peak performance and lowers your energy bill.
• Preventative Maintenance: If you haven’t had your HVAC system serviced yet, schedule an annual maintenance visit now to catch minor issues before they turn into costly summer breakdowns.
  
• New Window Units: You have options when it comes to handling mosquitos at home. Placing a portable mosquito coil on your deck can deter pests nearby, while repellent sprays can keep mosquitoes away from your lawn and larger living areas.

Vacation Readiness

When you go on vacation, you deserve a peace of mind. Be worry free and follow these tips to make for a safe, and secure empty home.

• Smart Security: Monitor your property right from your phone with smart locks, video doorbells, and automated security cameras.
• Automate Your Lights: A completely dark home for a week straight is a sign that no one is around. Use plug-in light timers to turn indoor lamps on and off automatically.
  
• Double Check Locks: Inspect your door and window locks to ensure they aren’t loose or rusted. Swapping out old hardware for a fresh deadbolt is a quick way to upgrade your home security.
