May Maintenance Checklist

• Test the temperature and pressure on the relief valve on the water heater by opening and allowing some water to flow out. If little or no water flows out or it doesn't shut off, replace it. Bad valves can cause explosions. Also check the maintenance manual for directions on draining the water heater for more efficient operation.
  
• Check decks for loose boards, and clean and seal. Ideally, you will need three consecutive warm, sunny days. On day one, dry out the deck. Apply deck cleaner and scrub the deck on the second day, and let it dry for 24 hours. On the third day, apply deck sealer.
  
• Wash windows inside and out using a solution made from 3 tablespoons of no sudsy ammonia to 1 gallon of water. Don't work in the direct sun; the solution will dry too fast, and streak. To clean windows with real non removable grilles, use hacksaw to cut a squeegee so it fits the windowpanes exactly.
  
• Set thermostats and the automatic sprinkler system to adjust for weather changes.
  
• Check air/heat filters, and replace if dirty
