Although this term is widely used, the correct term is Daylight Saving Time, and the actual period that is Daylight Saving Time lasts from spring until fall. The period from fall to spring is actually referred to as Standard Time. So as the time approaches for us to fall back to Standard Time on Sunday, November 6, at 2 am, this is a good way to remind ourselves to do some yearly maintenance around the home, such as changing batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and changing the filters in our furnaces and air conditioning systems, as well as any other filters around the home, such as water filters.<\/p>\n<p>We offered many of these suggestions and tips in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/index.php\/2011\/11\/change-your-filters-for-daylight-savings-time\/\">October 24th<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/index.php\/2011\/10\/energy-conserving-tips-for-fall-back-savings\/\" target=\"_blank\">November 1st<\/a> blogs. Some of these bear repeating, such as changing smoke alarm batteries. Changing furnace and air conditioning filters is a good way to ensure the air in your home stays clean and fresh, that your heating or cooling system doesn\u2019t use excess energy, and to extend the life of your heating or cooling system. Filters Fast offers a wide selection of <a href=\"http:\/\/filter.filtersfast.com\/search?w=furnace+filters&amp;asug=&amp;view=list&amp;submit1=Search\">furnace filters<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/filter.filtersfast.com\/search?w=air+filters&amp;sli_jump=1\">air conditioning filters<\/a> for your home. \u00a0We also offer <a href=\"http:\/\/filter.filtersfast.com\/search?w=water+filters&amp;asug=&amp;view=list&amp;submit1=Search\">water filters<\/a> for your water purification system, refrigerator, and ice maker.<\/p>\n<p>The approaching time change reminds us all to do those household maintenance tasks that might otherwise go undone. This is also a good time to prepare our homes for the coming winter months. Winterizing is a simple yet effective way to ensure that energy isn\u2019t lost through cracks and other escape routes in the home. As Benjamin Franklin said, \u201cAn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.\u201d Taking this time now to ensure our homes are safe, clean, and energy efficient will keep winter outside where it belongs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term \u201cDaylight Savings Time\u201d is generally understood to mean the time when we either set our clocks forward or back one hour, and the 6 month period of time in between these points.
