As sad as we are to admit it, the summer is coming to a swift close and the cool, fall weather is on it’s way sooner than you think. Though the fall season brings cool breezes and beautiful changing leaves, it also brings a ton of debris and weather conditions that can be hazardous to your home. To make sure you and your family are prepared to handle the change in seasons, here are 5 quick steps to take to get your home ready for the fall.
Sooner than you know you’ll be bumping up the heat in your home to battle the chilly temperatures, so you’ll want to make sure that vents are clean and clear of debris. Dust and vacuum out vents and filters, and be sure that no furniture, carpeting or curtains are obstructing the airflow.
2. Clean out your chimney and fireplace.
You and your family will soon be sitting around your toasty fireplace once again. Make sure it’s ready for the season by clearing out any remnants of ash or charred wood, and hiring a professional to clean out the chimney and make sure it’s sealed off properly to avoid drafts.
3. Tackle last minute paint or floor fixes.
If you have painting or flooring projects to finish up, we suggest you hop to it before you lose the warm weather. That way, you can keep the windows open for ventilation without worrying about the cold.
4. Check your insulation for drafts.
Even If your heating system is working and your fireplace is clear you may still have a problem warming up the house if your insulation is faulty. Do a visual inspection of the interior and exterior of your home, looking for any spots that may need to be re-caulked or weatherstripped. Windows and doors are the prime draft offenders, so pay special attention while doing your inspection.
5. Have your gutters cleaned by a professional.
In our opinion, this is the most important step of them all! The fall season is aptly named in that a ton of leaves and debris fall from the trees and right into your home’s gutters. To avoid a clog and the potential damage that can come from it, we suggest cleaning your gutters once at the beginning of the season (August/September) and then again during the middle/end of the season (November/December).
