Winter Maintenance Tips

• Check and clean/replace furnace air filters each month during the heating
season.
• Clean your humidifiers two or three times during the winter season.
• Vacuum the bathroom fan grills.
• Vacuum fire and smoke detectors as dust or spider webs can prevent them from
functioning.
• Check gauges on all fire extinguishers and recharge or replace them if necessary.
• Check all faucets for signs of dripping and change washers as necessary.
• Clean drains in dishwashers, sinks, bathtubs and shower stalls.
• Test plumbing shut-off valves to ensure they are working properly and to prevent
them from seizing.
