Making the Parking Lot Safe

Make sure you are careful coming in and out of the parking garage, or turning the corner in the lot. With a full building, there will often be cars and pedestrians in the lot. Make sure there is no one coming before you turn a corner or descend into the garage.

Blue Urban has ordered signs and mirrors to help with this process.

Spring Cleaning


Spring time is here, and you might want to think about changing your air filter. I know we all get busy, but this is something that needs to be done on a regular basis. If your filter is too dirty, you make your HVAC unit work harder to pull air up. This strains your system, and eventually holes will develop in your filter, which lets all kinds of dirt get into your ducts.
I believe that it's recommended that you change your filters once a month, but I think you can go a little longer than that depending upon how dirty they are. Put your hand under the filter when the unit is running to make sure that it has a good air flow.
Make sure you get a 16x20x1" filter, and if you forget, you can check this article on your phone!
++Some other helpful reminders while at the store:
Floodlights are 60 watt halogen indoor/outdoor - Remember that the floodlights should last for 2 years, so if your floodlight goes out, tap it, spin it, and flick the switch near the base of the bulb before replacing them.
Candelabra bulbs are 60 watt also
