Don’t Forget To Fall Back On Halloween: Fall Back Checklist
It’s a busy weekend ahead. With everything going on, don’t forget to set your clocks back 1 hour before you go to bed on Halloween evening!
And don’t get spooked by small tasks around the house! Take advantage of the extra hour of sleep on Saturday night to clear away cobwebs around your home on Sunday with our checklist below.
Your ‘Get Ahead While Falling Back’ Fall Back Checklist:
Check Detectors
Non-working detectors are scary! Change the batteries and test all of your home’s carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
Remove Screens
Take down your screens and wash them down, removing any creepy-crawlers. Place them in safe storage for the spring!
Change Filters
Dirty filters suck energy from your system & money from your wallet. Change your filters for cleaner air + more efficient heat!
De-Lint The Dryer Vent
A lot can be lurking in your dryer’s vent. De-linting your dryer hose can prolong the life of your dryer and prevent fire damage. (Unplug the dryer first!)
Swap Out Light Bulbs
The nights are getting longer, and more eerie! Protect your visitors while keeping unwanted ghouls away by swapping out any burnt-out exterior light bulbs.
Re-Direct Ceiling Fans
Changing your ceiling fans to run clockwise directs warm air downward, keeping you warmer and pushing out the chill in the air all winter.
Clean Out Gutters
Clearing gruesome grime out of your gutters will help your home stay safe from water damage during fall and winter storms.
Scrub Showerheads
Vinegar works like magic for getting rid of mildew! Place a bag of vinegar & water around the shower head, leave it overnight, and wipe it down in the morning!
Book Your Tune Up
They may not wear a costume, but service from our HVAC super heroes keeps your heating equipment running safely, efficiently & dependably.
Clear Heating Vents
Your heating vents are screaming to be free & clear of furniture, rugs, toys, decor and anything that can block their air flow. Clear them now for better heat & comfort all season.
Reset The Thermostat
Treat your wallet by resetting your programmable thermostat. A properly set thermostat can save you up to $180 every year!
Winterize Plumbing
Freezing temperatures can easily cast a spell on your exterior plumbing. Drain & winterize it now to be ready for frigid weather in the future!
