The Office and Maintenance have come up with several maintenance suggestions that could save you on repairs and early replacement costs:

• Check the batteries in your smoke detectors and thermostat occasionally.
• Change the filters in your heating/cooling system at least every other month.
• Pour a couple of cups of bleach down all the drains at least monthly.
• Run your garbage disposal at least monthly and pour a couple of cups of bleach into disposal before running.
• Check your water heater occasionally for any leaks.
• Check toilets for leaks or for any indication of rust.
• DO NOT POUR ANY BLEACH OR CLEANER IF NOTICING ANY RUST FORMATION IN THE TANK.
• For those with wall air conditioners, have them covered before cold weather settles in. Also, clean the filters at least four (4) times during the time of usage.
• Vacuum under your refrigerator at least yearly. An indication of a problem is condensation forming inside the refrigerator or freezer foods "not quite freezing".
• Check your operations manual for maintenance hints on other appliances you may have, such as humidifiers and de-humidifiers.
