As the summer heat begins to fade, it’s time to prepare your home for the cooler months ahead. Make sure your home is ready before you break out your cozy sweaters and fall decorations. Tackle these essential home maintenance tasks as Autumn prep for a cozy season.

HVAC System Checkup
Your HVAC system works overtime to keep you cool all summer, so you’ll want to ensure it’s ready to keep you warm and cozy. Schedule a professional to inspect your furnace, replace filters, and ensure everything is running smoothly. There’s nothing worse than a heating system breaking down on the first cold night of the season!

Replace Weatherstripping
Check the weatherstripping around your windows and doors, then replace any worn or damaged sections. This simple task helps keeps the warm air in and the cold air out, making your home more energy-efficient as temperatures drop. Plus, it’ll save you a bundle on heating costs when cold weather kicks in.

Insulate Your Attic
A well-insulated attic is like a cozy blanket for your home. Check your attic insulation and add more if needed. Proper insulation keeps the heat inside and can significantly reduce your energy bills, making it a worthwhile investment.

Give Your Lawn Some TLC
It’s been through a lot this summer?barbecues, sprinkler fun, and fire pits. Ensure a lush lawn come spring by aerating the soil to loosen it up and allow nutrients to seep in, then seed any thin areas and bare patches.

Touch Up Exterior Paint
Give your home’s exterior a quick face-lift by touching up peeling or fading paint on your siding, trim, and doors. Don’t forget to seal the wood on decks and railings. This boosts curb appeal and protects your home from the elements?it’s like giving your house a weather-resistant coat for the season ahead.
