Evanston, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/10/2018 -- Although it might seem far off, Labor Day is just around the corner. That's why homeowners who will host end-of-the-summer gatherings should start planning now to make preparing for guests as easy and stress-free as possible.

Families who haven't done so already should have their HVAC systems and plumbing checked out to avoid unexpected problems and to eliminate the need for air conditioning or plumbing repair in Evanston, IL, and beyond. There's nothing more embarrassing or uncomfortable than trying to entertain a house full of people with a failed AC system or a clogged toilet or drain.

In addition to checkups for HVAC and plumbing systems, here are a few tips to get the house ready for holiday guests.

1. Make sure the house is tidy and smells inviting. Air fresheners and cleaning products aren't the only ways to make houses smell fresh and clean. Incense, candles and even freshly baked pies and other foods can produce the desired effect.

2. Do as much as possible in advance so that the house is neat and clean, saving only minor cleaning chores for the last minute.

3. Make sure the bathroom that guests will use is clean, well stocked and in perfect working order.

4. Keep plenty of healthy and maybe some not-so-healthy snacks on hand so overnight guests can graze whenever hunger strikes. Dried fruits, nuts, crackers and cheeses are popular options.

5. Don't forget to stock up on plenty of cool and hot drinks, too.
