It’s That Time Of Year Again ~ Time To Spring Forward!

Daylight Savings Time ~ Time To Spring ForwardIt’s that time of the year again: Daylight Saving Time (DST). Time to set your clocks ahead and spring forward one hour. DST officially begins this Sunday, March 14, at 2 a.m. and will last until the first Sunday in November.

And while it might take us a couple of weeks to adjust our internal clocks, DST provides extra hours of sunlight in the long run that we could all utilize this spring to keep our households running smoothly. With this in mind, here are a few items to think about as we make the transition into spring:

  • Replace your furnace filter
  • Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter
  • Check your electrical system
  • Check or replace your multi-purpose fire extinguishers
  • Check the light bulbs in all your fixtures
  • Review your emergency escape plan with your family
  • Have a professional HVAC contractor inspect your system
  • Check for roof damage
  • Repair all cracked, broken or uneven driveways and walkways
  • Protect your home from sewer or drain back-up losses
  • Check your water heater
  • Check the shutoff valve at each plumbing fixture
  • Inspect and clean dust from the covers of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and replace batteries

Daylight Savings Time is also a great time to review your long-term mortgage strategy. Take advantage of that extra sunlight. If you have questions about your mortgage, the Home Buyer’s Tax Credit which is about to expire, or someone you know is in need of home financing, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me. I’ll definitely point you in the right direction!
