The Importance of Spring Cleaning Your Utility Room
• Family homes (three or more occupants) with no pets or allergies: 3 to 6 months. Family homes with at least one pet or minor allergies: 2 to 3 months. Family homes with multiple pets or allergies: 1 to 2 months. 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!
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. 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.
How Often Should You Replace Your Air Filter?

Homes with minimal foot traffic (single or double occupancy) and no pets or allergies: 6 to 12 months.
What Our Clients Are Saying
“My roof was in poor condition, but I was not sure that the damage would qualify for any insurance coverage. Jeff, with KAT Construction, inspected the roof and concluded that it would. Together, we called my insurance company and started the claim process. Jeff came out when the insurance adjuster scheduled an appointment. He worked with the adjuster to be sure things he saw were noted. “The claim was approved for a full roof replacement. KAT secured permits and sent out all materials. The following day, crews arrived to remove the old roof and install 40 squares (about 8,000 pounds) of new shingles. The crew completed the job in 1 1/2 days. They cleaned up the area so well it was hard to know anyone was here. I highly recommend them.”
“I’m writing this business a five-plus star review … I can’t think of a more efficient, hardworking, up-and-coming company. They really have some promise here, and they deserve recognition for their hard work. They even worked with my insurance company. Thank you again!”
