Lightbulbs:💡
If you saw our recent reel 😒 you know that a regular maintenance issue we come across is burnt out lightbulbs. For us as a home inspector it means getting out the electrical tester, (sometimes the ladder!) and checking to insure the fixture is working properly.
For homeowners it’s a bit more simple—most of the time!
Replacing Lightbulbs:
1. Make sure the power is off
2. Use a ladder if you need to get up higher 🪜
3. Remove the bulb
4. Check the fixture to insure you have the proper replacement bulb—also is now a good time to switch to lower energy LED’s?
5. Replace the bulb!

Hard to Reach Bulbs:
If you have high fixtures look into purchasing a telescoping pole just for light bulbs. These are especially useful on non-LED fixtures where incandescent bulbs will likely burn out more frequently.

Lightbulb Disposal: 🗑
Fluorescent Tubes, incandescent and CFLs—in Hawai¢i we have no recycling options for bulbs, most should be wrapped and placed in regular household, grey, refuse bin.
