DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME IS THIS WEEKEND: SOME GREAT HOMEOWNER TIPS!
IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN–DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME (DST)!
Time to set your clocks ahead and spring forward one hour.
DST officially begins this SUNDAY, MARCH 14th at 2:00 AM and will last until November 7, 2010.
While it may take a couple of weeks for us to adjust our internal clocks, DST provides us with additional hours of sunlight that we could utilize thoughout this spring to keep our homes running smoothly. With this in mind, here are a few home maintenance items to think about as we make the transition into Spring:
-
Replace your furnace filter
-
Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter
-
Check your electrical system
-
Check or replace your fire extinguishers
-
Replace batteries in your smoke detectors
-
Review your emergency escape plan with your family
-
Check for post-winter roof damage
-
Have a professional air conditioning contractor inspect and maintain your system
-
And don’t forget to wash those windows to let all the spring sunshine in!
