As the leaves change and temperatures drop, it’s essential to tackle fall home maintenance to ensure a cozy and problem-free season. Start by cleaning your gutters to prevent clogs and water damage. Trim trees and bushes, removing any dead branches to prevent them from falling during winter storms. Seal gaps and cracks around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and energy bills down. Inspect your heating system, replace filters, and schedule professional maintenance if needed for efficient heating.

Also, don’t forget to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replacing batteries as necessary. Drain and store garden hoses, and shut off exterior faucets to prevent freezing. Clean your fireplace and chimney, making sure it’s safe to use. Lastly, consider having your roof inspected for damaged shingles, moss and leaks before winter arrives. These fall maintenance tasks will help you keep your home in top shape, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the colder months while potentially saving you money on repairs in the long run.
