As we move into April, it’s a good time to focus on safety in your home. Here are a few tasks you can do this month to keep your AC/heating system running smoothly and your home safe:

1. Check and test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These are important safety devices that can help alert you to any potential dangers in your home. Test them regularly to make sure they are working properly, and replace the batteries if needed.
