SPRING CLEANING LIST

As the final snowflakes melt away , it ’ s time to start thinking spring . Most of us start our spring cleaning checklist by sweeping out the garage or uncovering stored patio furniture . But the real cleaning should start from the inside . It is critical to give attention to heating , ventilation , and air-conditioning ( HVAC ), to ensure comfort inside your home . Follow the checklist below to give your home the boost it needs before spring sets in .
• Check and replace filters . Changing the filters in your furnace and air conditioner about every three months ( depending on your filter type ) keeps the air in your home clean and allows for your system to continue to run efficiently . Be sure to first turn off equipment before replacing anything .
• Dust and wash bathroom fans . Clean exhaust fans help with bathroom odor and keep moisture out , guarding against mold and mildew . To clean , remove the bathroom fan cover from the ceiling and wash with warm , soapy water and allow to dry completely . Be sure the electricity to the fan is off before you dust the fan blades .
• Drain and air-out the dehumidifier . Dehumidifiers have several health benefits for your family , including reducing allergens such as dust mites , mold , and mildew . Empty and clean the water collection tank with warm , soapy water and vacuum the intake and exhaust grills to keep your dehumidifier running clean .
• Remove plants around the air‐conditioning unit . Allow for maximum airflow around your air conditioner unit by clearing any encroaching weeds or plants , keeping a twofoot radius around the system .
• Install a programmable thermostat . If you ’ re in the market for a new thermostat , consider a programmable one . These thermostats increase your home ’ s efficiency and offer cost savings through adjustable timing and consistent temperatures throughout the house , optimizing your HVAC system .
If all else fails , put your trust in the hands of the professionals . They ’ ll ensure that your HVAC system is ready for spring .
