FURNACE AND WATER HEATER ANNUAL SERVICE- This task involves scheduling a trained service professional to do a thorough inspection, cleaning and adjustment of your furnace and water heater.
TESTING GFI OUTLETS
To test a GFI outlet, just plug a small electrical appliance into the outlet, and then press the “test” button on the outlet. The appliance should immediately shut off. If it does not, then this outlet should not be used until the GFI has been replaced
CHECK OUTSIDE DRYER VENT FLAP
At least once a year you should check your outside dryer vent to be sure that it is not clogged and stuck in the open position.
OUTSIDE LIGHTING INSPECTION
If any of your outside light fixtures have bulbs that have burned out, then September is a good month to replace them before the weather gets bad, and daylight hours start getting shorter.
SMOKE DETECTOR INSPECTION
At least once a year you should clean, test and change the batteries in your smoke detectors.
