Easy September Home Tips to Get Ready for Fall

Hey there! Can you believe it’s already September? Fall is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time to get your home ready for the cooler months ahead. Doing a few simple tasks this month can save you time, money, and stress later.

Here’s a practical September home checklist for Georgia homeowners:

✅ 1. Clean and Inspect Gutters

Clear leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent clogs and water damage. Check for leaks or misaligned sections and consider gutter guards if you have overhanging trees. (Southern Living)

✅ 2. Service Your HVAC System

Test your heating system before cooler nights arrive. Replace filters and schedule a professional inspection if needed to ensure energy efficiency and comfort. (Base Local)

✅ 3. Inspect Windows and Doors

Check for drafts and seal any gaps with caulk or new weatherstripping. This helps maintain indoor temperatures and reduces energy bills. (The Spruce)

✅ 4. Prep Outdoor Spaces

Clean porches, patios, and furniture. Store or cover grills, umbrellas, and cushions to protect them from fall weather. (HomeLight)

✅ 5. Add Seasonal Décor

Swap summer accents for cozy touches like throw pillows, doormats, or a bowl of fresh apples. It’s an easy way to bring fall indoors without a full overhaul.

✅ 6. Check Roof and Chimney

Inspect shingles for damage and make sure your chimney is clear. Addressing these now prevents leaks and prepares your home for cooler weather. (Woman & Home)

✅ 7. Prepare Plumbing

Drain outdoor hoses and inspect faucets for leaks. These small steps help prevent winter plumbing issues. (Cardinal Financial)

✅ 8. Test Safety Devices

Replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Regular testing ensures your home stays safe all season.
