Early summer is the perfect time for a quick home and tech checkup. Clean your air conditioner filter for a cool, efficient start. Flip ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise to push cooler air down. Clear gutters and check your deck or patio for any needed repairs. Back up important files before storm season hits. And don’t forget to keep your gadgets shaded—phones and tablets can overheat in strong sunlight. A little prep now makes summer easier later.
