Its that time again! Spring forward! Anytime you change the time on your clocks for daylight savings in the Spring & Fall, it's a great reminder to:
- check the batteries and test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (if you don't have either one of these in your home, it is now a code requirement. They can be found at most hardware & home improvement stores). Most of these type detectors require a 9v battery.
- have your heating (in the Fall) and air conditioning (in the spring) system serviced.
- Inspect (spring) and drain (fall) your storage tank water heater. If you have a tankless water heater, it typically requires an annual descale service.
- Inspect and clean behind and around your clothes washer/dryer
- Inspect and clean behind, under & around your refrigerator (pay close attention to clean any coils or parts that look like a radiator)
- Check your emergency preparedness and first aid kits for any items that need replenishing.
Now that you have got all that done...enjoy the x-tra daylight!
