Sometimes we get so busy with work, deadlines, soccer practice, dinner, household chores that we forget to take care of a few common sense safety items that can make a big difference when it counts.
Take a few moments this weekend and check that your house passes the following Safety Test:
Passing the Homeowner Safety Test
• Replace the batteries in all the smoke detectors in the house. Record the date in your calendar so you will remember to do the same thing next year!
• Unless your heating/air units are new, have the vents and filters cleaned or replaced.
• Create a fire-hazard plan with your family and conduct a practice drill with the children.
• Replace or clean the exhaust hood filter above the range.
• Check all your electric outlets for loose-fitting plugs, as these can pose a fire hazard. These outlets are inexpensive and fairly easy to replace.
• Have the fireplace chimney cleaned. While you are at it go ahead and install a rain cap and a screen to keep the birds out of your chimney.
