Here’s a simple checklist to help you maximize your indoor air quality.

	Get oil burners inspected annually. A puff back can occur when your oil burner malfunctions, sending soot throughout your home or business. Soot should be cleaned immediately to prevent more contamination.
	Change or clean heating & air-conditioning filters regularly.
	Have air ducts professionally cleaned every two to five years.
	Install carbon monoxide detectors. Carbon monoxide levels can become deadly without warning. Place detectors on every level of your home, especially outside the bedrooms.

	Wash your bedding often in hot water to reduce dust mites.
