BATTERIES AND SMOKE DETECTORS
Change your batteries on smoke detectors and check the operation of smoke alarms.

WARNING!
An insurance report recently documented a fire due to air scent plug-ins. The plug-in was a scented oil operated device that caught fire while plugged into an electrical outlet. If you use these types of devices, watch them! Do not let them sit in the electrical outlets for long periods of time and remove them when the oil scent is all used up and/or empty.

REPAIR CALLS
If you have a repair call, please call the office and ask to speak with SAM FREEMAN. Sam is handling ALL repair calls. If you are calling on the weekend or during a time Sam is not in the office, please leave a detailed message with the front desk staff, and Sam will see to it that your repair concern is addressed promptly.

CHANGE YOUR FILTERS!
Please be aware that filters should be changed every 30 days. This will help the general care of the heating/A/C system and it will also keep the system operating efficiently which will ultimately trim your electric bills. If you have any questions, please call the office!

CHANGE OF SEASONS!
Be sure to change your FILTERS!! Changing the heating and A/C filters regularly saves your money! When filters are clean they allow the heating-A/C units to run at their optimal energy efficient levels which reduces your BGE bills.

Appliances such as non-electric room heaters, furnaces, ranges, water heaters, charcoal grills, fireplaces, as well as running automobiles, lawn movers, snowblowers can all produce high levels of CO. Use carbon monoxide detector year round to keep your home safe.
