Fall is a time of transition from warm days to cooler nights. It is also an ideal time to begin to prepare for winter. Here are some quick home maintenance tips that are perfect for your Fall checklist:
* Close the pool. There is a saying that "the leaves will tell you." You will not want to waste energy or risk clogging your pool with leaves.
* Winterize outdoor kitchens and showers.
* Clean gutters and make sure there are no issues or clogs.
* Clean your fireplace and chimney. This should be done annually.
* Prune and mulch landscape.
* Check the roof for any damage or repairs.
* Fix/repair any fences or gates.
* Check emergency supplies. Make sure if a storm were to come, you are stocked, ready and prepared.
* Check equipment such as hot water heaters, HVAC units and boilers.
