Health Checklist
- Change the filters in your air conditioning system. Not only will your entire system run more efficiently, but the quality of your indoor air will improve.

Safety Checklist
- Have a certified chimney sweep inspect and clean your chimney.
- Check the bulbs in all your light fixtures to make sure you’re using the correct wattage- better yet, replace them with energy-efficient compact florescent bulbs.

- Check all electrical outlets for loose-fitting plugs for overloaded use.
- Safely store all toxic household chemicals and cleaning products, as well as oil and gas for lawn equipment.
