4) Clean or dust coils on back of refrigerator.

5) Change furnace filter & thermostat.  Service if needed.

6) Check for overload circuits - remove excess devices on one plug.

7) Know the location of all water & gas shut-off valves.

8) Its Fire Prevention Month:  Time to make a fire safety plan for your family.

9) Test carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.  Replace batteries.

10) Pour mineral oil into floor drain to keep sewer gases out.
