There’s something magical about summer evenings. The sun lingers a little longer, the kids play a little louder, and the air fills with the unmistakable scent of food sizzling on the grill.
Whether you’re flipping burgers, smoking ribs, or roasting veggies, grill season is here—and we’re all in!
At America’s Preferred Home Warranty, we know summer means more than just warm weather. It’s about connection, comfort, and creating memories. And behind every successful backyard barbecue is a home running smoothly in the background—appliances working, air conditioners cooling, and systems supporting your summer fun.
Let’s break down how to get the most out of grill season, while knowing APHW has your back.
Prep Your Grill & Outdoor Setup
First things first. Inspect your grill.
- Gas grill? Check for propane leaks, clear burner tubes, and scrub the grates.
- Charcoal or smoker? Clean out old ash, inspect air vents, and stock up on fuel.
Grilling tools? Make sure tongs, brushes, thermometers, and trays are clean and ready to go.

Also, consider creating a grill station. A grill station is a dedicated space for your seasonings, tools, and cooler. It can make hosting feel effortless while staying organized.
Don’t Forget the Indoor Heroes
Grill season may be all about the great outdoors, but your kitchen does the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
- Refrigerator: Keeps meats, salads, and drinks chilled before they hit the grill.
- Dishwasher: Handles the mountain of plates and prep tools afterward.
- Garbage disposal: Makes post-party cleanup quick and easy.

A breakdown in any of these appliances could bring your BBQ plans to a halt. That’s where your APHW coverage steps in. We can help support your home systems and appliances when an unexpected breakdown happens.
Stay Cool with Confidence
Let’s be honest: Nobody wants to cook out in a home that feels like an oven.
Make sure your air conditioning system is prepped and ready:
- Replace your filters.
- Clear debris from outdoor units.
- Schedule routine maintenance if it’s been a while.
And if something goes wrong? APHW is there to offer support.
Party-Ready Peace of Mind
The best part about having a home warranty during the summer? Peace of mind.
- Planning a block party?
- Hosting extended family for a cookout?
- Just want to relax in the backyard without stressing over “what ifs”?
An APHW home warranty helps ensure that you’re supported when home systems and appliances break down unexpectedly—so you can entertain with confidence.
So Go Ahead—Fire It Up
Grill season is more than a time of year. It’s a celebration of flavor, family, and fun. And when you know your home is covered, everything tastes just a little bit better.
