Don’ t Forget to Clean the Heart of Your Home

• Family homes (three or more occupants) with no pets or allergies: three to six months. • Family homes with at least one pet or minor allergies: two to three months.

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.

• Family homes with multiple pets or allergies: one to two 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!

How Often Should You Replace Your Air Filter?

• Homes with minimal foot traffic (single or double occupancy) and no pets or allergies: six to 12 months.

angel — someone who’s always there for you when you need math help. I was able to make this a reality. L imi ted Space Ava i lable This new service is a great solution for those who need someone to talk them through a problem. Guidance is important for students who really need help and reassurance, making them more independently capable in the long run. It is my goal that the homework mastermind group will boost members’ confidence in learning and solving solutions on their own. Currently, there are a couple of spaces open in this limited group. If you want to get involved, all you’ll have to do is fill out an application form. We’ll have a consultation call and decide if the group will be a good fit for you and your child.

Three years ago, I had some parents of high school and college students reach out to me and tell me that even though MathCelebrity.com was working, they wanted more. These parents felt that their children needed a more hands-on approach. They needed someone to be there, helping

them through their homework challenges. There’s something in the human presence that can’t be replaced by any software. This interaction led me to create the homework mastermind group. I decided it would be a rather small group and limited it to about 15–20 people. This group would have the ability to reach out and

talk to me through text, chat, or even Skype when they were struggling with concepts. In a way, it’s like a mathematical guardian
