7 Fall Maintenance Tips For Homeowners Fall is the perfect time to get all of your home maintenance and winter preparation projects done. Get your home ready for winter with these tips: 1. Check Windows and Doors: Save on winter energy bills by making sure there are no cracks or leaks coming through. 2. Clean Your Heating and Air Conditioning: This will help your family stay healthier & expand the life of your units. A professional cleaning is inexpensive and quick. 3. Check Your Fireplace: Do a visual inspection and give it a test run at some point in the fall, before it gets too cold. 4. Clean Your Water Heater: Drain it to get rid of any buildup that’s in the heater due to sediment & will prevent it from building up during the winter. 5. Protect Your Hose Empty: it completely & disconnect it from the spigot. Moving it inside is also a good idea to help prevent your hose from getting destroyed. 6. Check Your Roof: See if there are any missing shingles or holes in the roof. Make sure your gutters are clear of leaves, sticks and debris. 7. Clean Out the Garage: Make sure that any unused gas in equipment is removed & stored properly. Allowing the gas to sit in the fuel tanks can cause sediment in the tank & can potentially ruin the equipment.
