FALL MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

We all want to maintain our homes so here is your checklist for Fall Maintenance.

Interior:
  • Replace Smoke and CO Detector batteries.
  • Service your whole house humidifier. Replace the evaporator element. Clean the water supply orifice and drain hose connections, open the damper and turn the unit on.
  • Replace your furnace filter monthly during heating season.
  • Close storm windows.
Exterior:
  • Inspect windows for damage and loose glazing putty.
  • Replace deteriorated weather stripping around windows and doors.
  • Clean gutters and downspouts.
  • Cut grass to a shorter length and rake and remove leaves and debris from your yard.
  • Trim trees and shrubs, expecially those that are touching buildings.
  • Shut off valve to exterior faucets/hose bibs. Leave faucets open. Drain and store outside yard hoses.
  • Have heating systems cleaned and safety checked.
