Caring For Your Home: Fall Maintenance

September 5, 2024

As the vibrant colors of autumn fill the air, it's the perfect time to ensure your home is ready for the cooler months ahead. Fall is all about preparation, and a little maintenance now can save you time and money later.

Here are some essential tips to help you care for your home this season:

Clean Your Gutters

Falling leaves can quickly clog your gutters, leading to water damage. Take a moment to clear out debris and ensure your gutters are draining correctly to protect your roof and foundation.

Check Your HVAC System

Before the chill sets in, have your heating system inspected by a professional. Replace air filters to keep your system running efficiently and maintain good air quality inside your home.

Inspect Windows and Doors

Look for gaps or cracks around windows and doors. Adding weather stripping or caulking can help keep warm air in and cold air out, reducing your energy bills.

Prepare Your Lawn

Rake leaves regularly to prevent mold growth and keep your lawn healthy. Consider aerating your soil and applying a fall fertilizer to promote strong roots for the winter.

Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

With the increase in indoor heating, it's essential to ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors function correctly. Replace batteries and test devices to keep your home safe.
