  • Test smoke detectors & carbon monoxide alarms and replace batteries annually.

Quarterly:

January – March:

• Clean faucet aerators to restore water pressure and prevent clogs.
  • Run cold water while grinding ice cubes or citrus peels in the garbage disposal to freshen and sharpen blades.
  • Clean showerheads with vinegar to remove mineral buildup and maintain good water flow.
  • Prepare for spring by inspecting and potentially replacing sprinkler system heads and checking for leaks or coverage issues.

Bi-Annually:

March – May (Spring):

• Starve up and maintain your pool. Balance chemicals, clean filters, and address any equipment concerns.
  • Inspect and reapply exterior caulk around windows, doors, and siding to prevent water intrusion.
  • Schedule a professional HVAC inspection and cleaning of your air conditioning and heating systems.

September – November (Fall):

• Winterize your pool to protect it from freezing temperatures.
  • Check the expiration dates on your fire extinguishers and recharge or replace them if necessary.
  • Clean and store outdoor furniture & grill in preparation for colder weather.

Annually:

• Any Month:
  • Drain a small amount of water from your water heater to remove sediment and check for leaks.
  • Run a cleaning cycle with a specialized cleaner in your dishwasher to maintain efficiency and prevent odors.
