Home Care ## January Home Care Tips While January is peak season in Vero Beach with mild temperatures and low humidity, here's what to keep an eye on: ### HVAC Filter Check With seasonal residents returning, your HVAC system is working harder. Replace filters monthly for optimal performance. ### Landscape Irrigation January's cooler temperatures mean less watering is needed. Adjust your irrigation timer to prevent overwatering and root rot. ### Storm Shutter Inspection Off-season is the perfect time to inspect and maintain hurricane shutters before the next hurricane season begins in June. ### Pool Maintenance Cooler nights can affect water chemistry. Keep up with regular testing and maintain proper chemical balance.
