The heat is finally winding down and fall is slowly transitioning into winter. But before you jump into the holiday festivities, it is important to take the time to address your home’s needs and safety. Before you get too cozy, make sure you go through this checklist to prep your home for the winter.

  1. Check your safety devices – Increase your family’s protection by checking your home’s safety devices. Check smoke detectors regularly and replace your detectors’ batteries. Establish a fire evacuation route that you and your family are familiar with in case of emergencies.

  2. Air Duct cleaning – Before you turn on your heater, don’t forget to get your air ducts cleaned. Allergens and contaminants can circulate the air through your air ducts if they are not properly cleaned. Learn more about our air duct cleaning services and Rotobrush technology.

  3. DIY fall décor – Consider DIY crafts and projects this year. Doing it yourself lets you control your budget and can even help you save cash for gifts in December.

  4. Clean the kitchen – Holiday parties are approaching! Consider deep cleaning your kitchen to accommodate all the food prep and family gatherings to come.

  5. Get your windows fixed – Loose windows may not be a pressing issue now, but it’s better to get them fixed before the cold weather or rain really settles in this winter.

  6. Maintain your garden – Now is the time to clean up old and unwanted growth. Clean up plant debris and weeds and rake your lawn leaves.

  7. Refresh your patio – Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you can’t spend time outdoors! Consider adding some light fixtures, fall decorations, and setting up a seating area where your friends and family can gather during the holidays.

  8. Clean gutters – Keep your gutters clean from leaves and twigs to help prevent clogging. Getting rid of your gutter debris can prevent blocked gutters and water damage to your home.

  9. Check on your fireplaces – Have your fireplace serviced before you light it this season. Keep your family safe and get your chimney inspected and cleaned to prevent chimney fires.
