Don’t let minor issues ‘fall’ through the cracks—stay proactive with this fall home maintenance checklist!
 
Fall Home Maintenance Checklist
 
  1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Prevent water damage by clearing out leaves and debris from gutters.
  2. Inspect and Seal Windows and Doors: Check for drafts and seal any gaps to improve energy efficiency.
  3. Rake and Mulch Leaves: Keeping your yard clear of leaves not only looks neat but also protects your lawn.
  4. Check and Replace Furnace Filters: Ensure your heating system is running efficiently before the temperatures drop.
  5. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Safety first—replace batteries and test alarms to keep your family safe.
  6. Inspect Roof and Chimney: Look for loose shingles or debris and have your chimney cleaned if needed.
  7. Trim Overhanging Branches: Protect your home from potential damage caused by falling branches.
  8. Switch Ceiling Fans to Clockwise: This simple trick helps circulate warm air during the colder months.
 
By completing these tasks, you’ll be ready to cozy up in a well-maintained home all season long. A little effort now can save you from costly repairs in the future.
