Vegas homeowners: your fall maintenance list is different from everyone else's. ๐
Forget the Midwest-style winterizing checklist. In the Vegas Valley, fall maintenance is about undoing what the summer heat did โ and prepping for the short, dry cold that's coming.
Here's what actually matters for your Vegas home this month:
๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ก-๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ โ swap filters, test heat mode now (not December when every tech is booked)
๐ ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ญ โ drain outdoor lines, cap exposed valves, adjust timers for shorter days
๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง โ Vegas sun ages shingles 30% faster than cooler climates; fall is the window to catch damage before winter rains
๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ โ lower chemical levels, cover if you're done for the season, keep the pump running on a timer
๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ โ scorpions, rodents, and roof rats move indoors as temps drop; check weather stripping and attic vents
๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ & ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ โ not for Arctic cold, but Vegas nights do dip into the 30s, and your power bill will thank you
Knock these out in October, and you'll head into the holidays with a home that's actually ready for Vegas winter, not Vermont winter.
๐ฌ Thinking about selling in the spring instead? A fall maintenance pass is also the single best thing you can do to boost your home's value before listing. DM "CHECKLIST" and I'll send you my full Vegas pre-sale prep guide.
