5 Things Every Homeowner Should Do When Daylight Saving Time Begins
Daylight Saving Time is here! Besides resetting the clock on your microwave, stove, and car, use this time as a reminder to reset other things around your house . Here are the top 5 things to readjust in your home during Spring Forward:
Replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If you’ve changed the batteries recently, test the alarms to make sure they’re working.
Switch out the filters for your heater, air conditioner, vacuum, and air purifiers. Daylight Savings is a great time to remind yourself to eliminate the dust accumulated during the winter and change out or clean your filters for new and clean ones. This way you will remember to change them every year.
Dust off your window treatments. You’ll want to take full advantage of the longer summer days, so dust off your curtains or shades and let the sun shine through!
Prep your garden. Spring Forward means that spring is just around the corner, it’s time to pull out the weeds, clean out the flower beds of dead branches and leaves, and loosen up the soil.
