Top 10 Fall Home Maintenance Tasks to Keep Your Home Cozy

Preparing your home for the colder months doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Focusing on these essential tasks will help keep your home safe, warm, and efficient through the fall and winter seasons.

1. Service Your Heating System

Have a professional inspect and service your furnace or heating unit to ensure it's ready for the colder months. This helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and improves efficiency.

2. Replace Air Filters

Regularly replacing or cleaning air filters keeps your HVAC system running efficiently and improves indoor air quality.

3. Seal Windows and Doors

Seal gaps around windows and doors with weatherstripping or caulk to prevent drafts and reduce heating costs.

4. Reverse Ceiling Fans

Set your ceiling fans to rotate clockwise to push warm air down into living spaces, helping to keep rooms warmer without overworking your heater.

5. Check Roof and Gutters

Inspect your roof for damaged or missing shingles and clean gutters to prevent water blockages that can lead to leaks and water damage.

6. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Check the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and ensure they’re working properly to keep your home safe.

7. Drain and Store Outdoor Hoses

Shut off the outdoor water supply, drain hoses, and cover outdoor faucets to prevent freezing and potential pipe damage.

8. Inspect Attic Insulation

Ensure your attic has proper insulation to retain heat and prevent energy loss during the colder months.

9. Service Fireplace and Chimney

Schedule a professional cleaning and inspection of your fireplace and chimney to ensure safe, efficient use throughout the winter.

10. Prepare Yard Equipment for Winter

Clean and service your lawn tools before storing them away for winter, so they're ready to use when spring arrives.
