Fall Home Maintenance Checklist

As the season shifts, it's a good time to run through a few maintenance tasks that keep your home running smoothly through the colder months ahead.

Here's a simple checklist to work through:

• Inspect and clean gutters and downspouts to keep water flowing away from the house
• Have your HVAC system serviced and replace the filter
• Check exterior caulking around windows, doors, and siding
• Check the chimney and have it swept if you use a fireplace
• Clean and store summer equipment, tools, and outdoor gear you're not using
• Check outdoor faucets, irrigation systems, and hoses for leaks or wear
• Reverse ceiling fans to run clockwise, which helps circulate warm air

If you need a recommendation for a trusted local vendor to help with any of these, whether it's an HVAC technician, a chimney sweep, or someone to handle the gutters, just reach out. We're always happy to connect you to vendors who have done a good job in the past.
