Get Your Home Ready For The Florida Summer    As the months tick on by during 2016, we're sneaking ever closer to those hot summer months. But is your home ready?    The summer months present many challenges here in Southern Florida - stifling heat, torrential downpours, even the possibility of hurricanes. But there are a few things you can do to get your home ready for summer, and C.A.M.S have provided a checklist for you to follow below to ensure your ready for the challenge.    1. Have your annual A/C unit check done  When it comes to A/C units sometimes you have to spend a little to save a lot. By getting your A/C unit serviced before the summer heat has it running 24/7, you can catch any small problems that could quickly escalate.    2. Clean out your gutters  Summer often means rain, and lots of it here in Florida, even for just an hour a day. By freeing up your gutters of any leaves and other debris, you can ensure they do their job. Nobody needs water damaged roofs, or broken gutters scattered all over your property.    3. Change your air filter Alongside getting your A/C unit serviced, it is equally important to change out your filter. Often out of sight means out of mind, but changing your filter is a cheap and easy way to ensure your A/C unit is working smoothly and efficiently.   4. Stock up for hurricane season  Whilst we all hope a hurricane doesn't make landfall during this year's season, which begins on June 1st, you should still be prepared.
