There are many things you can do around your home this Spring and Summer to prepare your house for the warm weather that is fast approaching. One of the most important is to keep your family safe. We suggest cleaning the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter. Keeping this clean of cooking grease will help keep a stovetop fire from spreading. Also, inspect and clean dust from the covers of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Replace the old batteries. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors save lives.

Check your dehumidifier & humidifier
Check your water heater
Clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct, damper, and space under the dryer
Poor maintenance allows lint to build up in the exhaust duct and cause a fire.
Replace all extension cords that have become brittle, worn or damaged
Exposed wires may cause arcing, which will produce heat and can start a fire. Care should also be taken to keep appliances and their power cords away from water or a heat source because this will damage the cord’s insulation.
Check your electrical system
