Does your AC seem to not cool as well as it used to? Seeing a ton of dust around? It\'s your air filter.

Air filters get dirty, it\'s a matter of fact. And I am not talking about your car\'s air filter, I am talking about your apartment\'s AC filter.

When it gets dirty the filter can cause all sorts of problems from kicking up your allergies to running up your electricity bill and much more that you may not wish to deal with.

Changing the filter is one of the most common things that are forgotten to be taken care off when living in an apartment. As your apartment living guide, this is your friendly reminder.

You should remember to change your air conditioning filter every 2-3 months. Most communities will have maintenance change it for you if you put in a request. So be sure to check with your manager today to see if they\'ll do it for you! It\'s also very easy to do yourself if you wish, but be sure to check with your apartment manager to make sure they allow you to do such things. Be aware that some communities prefer that only maintenance do any sort of handy work around your apartment and you don\'t want to break the rules...Do you?

Also...make sure that you remember to replace the battery in your smoke detectors. When they start beeping, it\'s time to change it immediately. 9 volts are cheap if you want to do it yourself, but again...check with your management as they will do it for you and may prefer that.

Don\'t forget the little things around the apartment. They must be taken care of!
