Fall Home Preparation

Essential End-of-Summer Home Maintenance Checklist to Prepare Your Property for Fall

The end of summer is a good time to prepare for fall, with tasks such as pest-proofing your home and yard to prevent pests from entering. Get your HVAC system serviced during an HVac tune-up, and winterize your cooling system in the fall to prepare it for colder weather. Make sure your HVsAC system is in good order and prevent major breakdowns. Also, make sure that HV AC filters are in good working order after a summer of running, and replace dirty filters that restrict airflow. Make use of outdoor spaces this year to clean, clean and inspect decks and patios, and organize your shed and garage. Strain and reseal your deck and garage for seasonal items. Make certain allergy medications and supplies are adequately stocked.
