As the temperatures rising, keep cool this summer with these helpful tips!
DO NOT adjust your thermostat under 70 degrees during the summer. If your unit freezes up, it could take an additional 4 to 6 hours for one of our maintenance team members to get your apartment cool again.
- If possible, use your household appliances during the cooler temps in the day. Try to use your oven and do your laundry in the early mornings or evenings.
- Never turn your thermostat off during the day. Set your thermostat to at least 85 degrees to lessen air conditioning use when you're away.
- Keep the bedroom(s) door open to help circulate air throughout your apartment.
- Keep your blinds closed and use other window coverings on top of your existing mini blinds to block out the heat. DO NOT PUT FOIL IN THE WINDOWS. Approximately 40 percent of unwanted heat comes in through your windows.
- If you do not have cool air flow in your apartment and/or the bathroom ceiling is leaking over your tub, please TURN OFF your thermostat and call the office at (972) 233-5827 to contact our Maintenance Team.

]]>"Cooking with Caution"
- Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, don't use the stove or stovetop.
- Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
- If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or broiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
- Keep anything that can catch fire (oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains) away from your stovetop.
If you have a small (grease) cooking fire and decide to fight the fire:
- On the stovetop, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
- For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.
If you have any doubt about fighting a small fire:
- Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire.
- Call 911 or the local emergency number from outside the home.
