Previously we celebrated in February the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and George Washington on February 22. In 1971 President Richard Nixon signed a bill combining those holidays into one day to honor all the Presidents of the United States which is now celebrated on the third Monday in February.

The Home Checklist is a series of monthly maintenance check-lists. Print each month out and use them as handy reminders to help you keep your home in tip-top shape.
Remember that paying attention to basic home maintenance responsibilities will help protect your investment. Keep in mind that maintenance needs vary from home to home and community to community, so you may want to add (or subtract) a few things from these lists, depending on where you live.
February Home Maintenance Check List
-
Clean faucet aerators and shower heads.
-
Remove and replace any worn or crumbling caulk or grout in and around bathtubs, sinks and toilets.
-
Vacuum bathroom vent fan covers.
-
Make sure the lightbulbs in all home fixtures are of the correct wattage.
-
Replace all extension cords, lamp cords and plugs that are brittle, worn or damaged.
-
Though we haven't had snow yet, if we do begin to see the white flakes falling on our Westchester homes, check the snow accumulation on your roof. If it seems to become excessive, call a roofing contractor to remove the snow, which could otherwise cause the roof to leak or collapse
Remember, doing minor maintenance each month can prevent major repairs down the road.

When installing or replacing a new thermostat it is important to make sure to match it properly to the type of heating or cooling system you have in the home. There are
millivolt systems
which require no external power, there are
low voltage 24 Volt systems
which run off a transformer and there are straight up 120 Volt to 240 Volt
line voltage thermostats
that control electrical resistance heating systems.
So take a minute to understand the differences of these systems and how to match them by reading the tutorial
Thermostat and Furnace Compatibility
where I show you what to look for when identifying your thermostat and heating system, such as type of heating or cooling system, number of wires to thermostat, voltage and system characteristics.
Then you'll be singing "Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match!"
(OK, sorry...)
