THE IMPORTANCE OF SPRING CLEANING YOUR UTILITY ROOM
Like all the other rooms in your home, this space needs to be kept clean. Dust, for instance, can be hard on HVAC systems. Over time, it accumulates in the HVAC intake and clogs the air filter, reducing its effectiveness and efficiency.This results in a short lifespan for your system, higher power bills, and a poorly heated or cooled home.
In addition to changing the air filter, it’s important to schedule a routine inspection of your home’s HVAC system.This includes an inspection of the appliances themselves and any connecting ducts. Dust, dander, and mold can accumulate in the ducts and spread throughout the home, which can lead to health issues, including respiratory problems. A routine inspection will identify potential problems in your HVAC system. On top of that, you can get these systems professionally cleaned and maintained.These are simple steps that will keep your home’s air systems running smoothly for years to come. Plus, you’ll be ready for the summer months ahead!
DON’T FORGET TO CLEAN THE HEART OF YOUR HOME
HOW OFTEN SHOULDYOU REPLACEYOURAIR FILTER?
The start of spring brings everyone’s favorite seasonal chore — spring cleaning! As you dust, vacuum, organize, and declutter, don’t forget about the one room that often gets neglected.This year, give special attention to the utility closet. The utility closet houses your furnace, boiler, water heater,A/C junction, and other similar large appliances. Homeowners often forget about these appliances because they are out of sight and out of mind, and this can cost a lot in the long run.
• Homes with minimal foot traffic (single or double occupancy) and no pets or allergies: 6–12 months. • Family homes (three or more occupants) with no pets or allergies: 3–6 months. • Family homes with at least one pet or minor allergies: 2–3 months. • Family homes with multiple pets or allergies: 1–2 months.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING MEDICAL ATTENTION
Traumatic brain injuries, commonly known as TBIs, are very serious and surprisingly common. However, not everyone is aware of the steps to take after a brain injury. A friend of mine was rear-ended by a drunk driver and received a mild traumatic brain injury.To most people, he still looks normal, but he was in a very dark place for most of the following year. To make matters worse, his insurance company tried to argue that since there were no visible scars, his injury wasn’t significant. Fortunately, he consulted one of the best brain specialists in his state and the insurance company was forced to acknowledge the struggles he was going through. His concerns were validated, and the expert opinion from his neurologist made his case stronger. Brain injuries are very different from injuries like broken bones. My friend’s neurologist told him that a bone break could heal in a matter of weeks and it would be hard to tell the
difference. But, depending on the severity, a brain injury can take months or even years to heal.With such a long healing process, brain injuries often force individuals to miss work to promote healing, which results in lost wages. The right specialist will be able to properly diagnose your injury so that you can get on the path of healing faster. Specialists are critical to your recovery, so if you’ve experienced head trauma, don’t hesitate to seek medical attention.
