Your Fall Refresh

Fall is in the air, and with it comes Halloween, pumpkin patches and caramel apples. It’s also prime time to prep your home for cooler weather. Here are five items for your home maintenance checklist that’ll leave you feeling more at ease as the temperatures dive down. ’Tis the season for home upkeep!

Filters are Your Friends

Before the cold winds start blowing, schedule a technician to come and check out your HVAC system. Make sure your filters are changed, and you will be ready to turn up the heat when the temperatures dip.

Clean Sweep

To avoid damage and excess water in your basement or foundation area, cleaning your gutters is a must. With the fall winds bringing leaves and unwanted debris in, a gutter clean out is a great way to get ahead of potential blockages. Pro tip: Covering your gutters with mesh guards can set you up for easier upkeep in the seasons ahead. 

Safety First

Aside from checking all your home’s nooks, crannies and storage areas, it’s also important to review the safety features of where you live. Make sure your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector are functional and have working batteries. Does your family have a current fire escape plan? It’s always better to be overprepared than caught off guard. Especially if you have little ones running around, being proactive about safety will help you sleep better at night! 

Protect Exterior Faucets

Winter is coming. So, it’s worthwhile to prepare to protect your outside faucets in the fall from freezing and bursting due to chilly temps. You have a couple of options. For exterior faucets you are not planning to use until spring, you can close shut-off valves, then open the corresponding faucets to drain the line. For exterior faucets you need access to throughout the colder months, pick up some Styrofoam faucet covers that you can fit when cold days are on the forecast.

Freshen Up

A final tip is always a good one to implement at the start of every season: A thorough seasonal clean. Tidy up your garage, dispose of items collecting dust in the attic, or organize your closet and find a few unworn items to donate! By simply decluttering and ridding every corner of cobwebs, you can make all the difference in feeling fresh and more stress-free this fall.
