As we move into the spring season and daylight savings change, it’s a great time to get your house ready for the warmer weather ahead. At Academy Plumbing, Heating and Electrical, we recommend taking some time to do some spring cleaning and maintenance tasks around your home. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Change Batteries on Alarms

One of the most important things you can do during this time of year is to check and change the batteries on your fire alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. This is also a good time to test these alarms to ensure they are working properly.

Change Air Filters

Another important task is changing the air filter in your heater. This will help improve indoor air quality and ensure that your heating system is running efficiently.

Change Thermostat Batteries

Don’t forget about your thermostat! Changing the batteries in your thermostat can help ensure that it’s functioning properly and accurately controlling the temperature in your home.

Spring Cleaning Checklist

In addition to these maintenance tasks, it’s also a great time to do some deep cleaning around your home. Here are some items you may want to add to your spring cleaning checklist:

• Dust all open surfaces using a dusting wand
• Clean doors and switch plates with a damp cloth
• Organize storage spaces like closets and cabinets
• Wash removable items like bins and shelves in warm soapy water
• Rotate and flip mattresses in bedrooms
• Clean windows inside and out

By following these tips, you can get your home ready for spring while also ensuring that everything is running smoothly. If you need any assistance with plumbing, heating or electrical services, don’t hesitate to contact Academy Plumbing, Heating and Electrical.
