It Time To Set Your Clocks Ahead An Hour

It's that time of the year again: Daylight Saving Time (DST). Time to set your clocks ahead and spring forward one hour. DST officially begins this Sunday, March 14, at 2 a.m. and will last until the first Sunday in November.

Its also a great time to:

• Replace your furnace filter
• Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter
• Check your electrical system
• Check or replace your multi-purpose fire extinguishers
• Check the light bulbs in all your fixtures
• Review your emergency escape plan with your family
• Have a professional air conditioning contractor inspect and maintain your system
• Check for roof damage
• Repair all cracked, broken or uneven driveways and walkways
• Protect your home from sewer or drain back-up losses
• Check your water heater
• Check the shutoff valve at each plumbing fixture
• Inspect and clean dust from the covers of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and replace batteries
