Spring is a good time for...

April is here and spring is on the way.  When the weather warms up and the buds start to pop—it is a good time to make sure your home is in good shape.  Here are a few ideas:

1.  Inspect the outside of your home to determine if the roof, chimneys, exterior walls, and windows need attention and maintenance.

2.  If you have a battery back up on a sump pump system, it is a good idea to make sure it is in working order.

3.  Change your HVAC filters or schedule your spring maintenance with your HVAC service provider.

4.  Clean the range hood to eliminate accumulated grease build-up.

5.  Clean your dryer vent and vacuum lint out of the edges of your lint filter.

6.  Make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in good working order with fresh batteries.

7.  Double check that you have fire extinguishers placed in key areas throughout your home.

8.  Clean your deck, patio, or screen porch.  Then as the weather improves, kick back with family and friends and appreciate the breeze and blooms of the new season.
