On a regular basis be sure to:

• ·         Inspect and change out, when necessary, HVAC filters.
• ·         Inspect fire extinguishers- ensure that you have an easily accessible extinguisher on every level of your home.  Ensure that the gauge shows adequate pressure and that your extinguisher shows no visible signs of wear and tear.
