Hello, AC season. Before you cool down, make sure your air conditioner is set up safely. Plug window air conditioners directly into a wall outlet.

Many manufacturers do not allow extension cords. If they are allowed, use the proper type and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

National Safe Boating Week is a reminder that every trip on the water should start with safety.

Before heading out, always check the weather and ensure your vessel is equipped with properly fitted life jackets for everyone on board.

Stay alert, avoid distractions, and never operate a boat under the influence. Conditions on the water can change quickly, so preparation is key.

Lint happens. Fires don’t have to. Lint buildup can lead to a dryer fire if it’s not cleaned regularly.

• Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
• Make sure the outdoor vent flap opens when the dryer is running.
• Have a qualified service person clean the inside of the dryer cabinet and exhaust duct once a year.
