WHAT IT IS
Every unit has a filter that keeps dust and allergens from entering the ductwork.
WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT
Dirty filters cause the AC unit to work hard, making it less efficient. In addition, a clean filter can help stop allergens that cause family health problems.

WHAT IT IS
The refrigerator coils is the cooling element for the unit.
WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT
If allowed to remain dusty, it forces the refrigerator to work harder to keep cool. If this goes on for too long, it can severely shorten the life of a particular unit and cause a little jump in energy bills.

WHAT IT IS
Making sure that all bulbs work around the house and on the home's exterior.
WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT

WHO TO HIRE
You can do this yourself by putting ice and/or lemon rinds in the disposal. If it's really bad, hire a plumber.
WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT
Without routine cleaning, your garbage disposal can build up deposits of foul smelling foods. This chore can be completed more often if the odor demands it.

WHAT IT IS
The hood is over the stove and it has a filter to keep debris from entering the ductwork.
WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT
Your hood not only carries away smoke, but also moisture and cooking smells. A dirty filter has a difficult time removing kitchen odors, and this will cause the smells from the kitchen to go all over the house.
