*Daylight Savings A Good Time to Check Smoke Alarm Batteries AND Check for
Open Vehicle Recalls*

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reminds everyone
that, in addition to checking the batteries on your smoke alarm with
Daylight Savings, it’s also a great time to check on any open vehicle
recalls that might affect your car or truck. Many people don’t receive
recall information, or choose to ignore it, but checking for vehicle
recalls is an essential safety action for you and your family. Enter your
VIN number online at: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls#vin and remember that
any vehicle recall repairs are free to you!

*Energy and Water Conservation Tips for Your Home*

With winter weather upon us, it’s a good time to take a look around your
home and see how you can save money and conserve resources. Here are some
ideas:

·       Seal up gaps around windows and doors with weather stripping and
caulking.

·       Switch over to LED light bulbs, which may cost a bit more up front
but last much longer and save money on electricity.

·       Adjust your thermostat and if possible, invest in a smart
thermostat that can be programmed to automatically adjust.

·       If possible, replace single-pane windows with double-pane units and
low E-glazing.

·       Have your heater inspected and filters cleaned out.

·       Remember that you don’t need to water as much in the fall and
winter months and adjust your irrigation needs accordingly.

·       Consider replacing your toilet with a low-flow unit, which saves
money and is much more efficient.

months, visit: www.pnm.com or www.abcwua.org
