A little fall prep now can help keep your home comfortable and protected as colder weather moves in.
🍁 Clean gutters & downspouts
🔥 Schedule a furnace/HVAC check
🏠 Inspect the roof for damage or missing shingles
🚪 Check weatherstripping around doors & windows
💨 Replace furnace/air filters
🚨 Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
💧 Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses
❄️ Winterize exterior faucets & sprinkler systems
🌳 Trim branches away from the house
🧹 Clean the chimney & fireplace, if applicable
