Spring Checklist – Inside Your Home

Spring means a fresh start.  Getting motivated to do a thorough cleaning and tackle some simple home maintenance jobs will protect the comfort and value of your home:

• Try your air conditioning system.  Scheduling maintenance with your A/C Contractor before it gets hot helps avoid delays.
• Inspect and replace your HVAC filter (I recommend you do this monthly).
• Check and clean the hose dryer vent and stove hood.
• Vacuum the coils of your refrigerator.  Your Refrigerator will run more efficiently with clean coils.
• Make sure you have a multi-purpose fire extinguisher accessible.
• Check all smoke doctors and CO2 detectors; replace batteries as needed.
• Inspect bathroom and kitchen caulk – replace as needed.
• Visually inspect the attic for leaks.
• Test GFCI outlets.
• Test sump pump.
