Fall Home Maintenance Task Made Easy

Because you are important and your house matters to us, we want to make sure that it is well maintained; here’s a checklist of fall home maintenance tips you can follow:

Fall Home Maintenance Checklist

• Clean/or change your gutters. If they become clogged, you may have a flooded inside and a damaged exterior. As a result, clean and, if necessary, replace your gutters.
• Look for drafts. Weatherstripping is a simple and arguably the most cost-effective method of lowering heating bills. Close a door or window on a strip of paper to see if you have a draft. If the paper slides readily, your weatherstripping has to be replaced.
• Alter your filters. If your filters are clogging, keeping your home at the desired temperature will be more challenging, which can raise your heating expenditures. Clean these filters every month, not only before the fall.
• Put fertilizers on your lawn. If you want your lawn to look fantastic in the spring and summer, you must prepare it for the fall and winter. The roots are still active when the grass isn’t growing, so the fertilizer will help prevent winter damage.
• Change your batteries. As part of fall home maintenance, it is important to check and make sure all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices are working.

Finally, this is a great time to probe any wood trim around windows and doors to see if there are holes that need to be filled with caulk.
