It might still feel like summer, but fall will be here before we know it! Now is the perfect time to get your home ready for cooler days and cozy nights. A little prep now can save you time (and money) later. Here’s how to start:
🍂 Check Your HVAC System
Before the temperatures drop, make sure your heating system is ready to keep you warm. Change your filters, test your thermostat, and consider scheduling a professional inspection. A quick tune-up now can help avoid surprises when the first chilly night arrives.
🧹 Seal Up Drafts
Take a walk around your windows and doors — do you feel any drafts? Sealing gaps with weatherstripping or caulk can help keep warm air in and your energy bills lower.
🍁 Clean the Gutters
Falling leaves are beautiful, but not when they clog up your gutters! Clean out any debris now to help prevent leaks and water damage when autumn rains roll in.
🔥 Prep Your Fireplace
If you have a fireplace, make sure it’s clean and safe. Have your chimney inspected and stock up on firewood so you’re ready for those cozy nights by the fire.
🏡 Spruce Up Curb Appeal
Fall is a great time to add seasonal touches to your porch or entryway. Mums, pumpkins, and a fresh doormat can make your home feel warm and welcoming.
🍂 Ready for What’s Next?
Whether you’re planning to stay put or considering a move this fall, a well-maintained home always makes a great impression. If you’re thinking of buying or selling this season, let’s chat — I’m here to help!
