As a first time homebuyer, taking care of your new investment is crucial. With the arrival of fall, it’s time to prepare your home for the changing seasons. Here are some essential fall home maintenance tips to keep your property in top shape:

1. Clean Gutters: Remove leaves and debris from gutters to prevent clogs and potential water damage.
2. Inspect Roof: Check for loose or damaged shingles, and repair any issues to avoid leaks. Remove moss.
3. Weatherproof Windows and Doors: Seal gaps and cracks to keep the cold air out and lower energy bills.
4. Service Your Heating System: Have your furnace or heating system inspected and serviced for efficient and safe operation.
5. Check Insulation: Ensure your home is adequately insulated to maintain a comfortable temperature and reduce heating costs. You may be eligible for tax credit and rebate that pretty much covers the full cost of upgrading your insulation. Check here with Energy Trust.
6. Trim Trees and Shrubs: Prune overhanging branches and bushes to prevent damage from heavy snow or ice.
7. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Also replace batteries and ensure they are working correctly for your family’s safety.
