Fall Maintenance You Don’t Want to Forget

As the weather cools and we start spending more time indoors, fall is the perfect season to take care of a few simple home maintenance tasks that make a big difference in keeping your home safe and comfortable.

Check Your Smoke Detectors

Your smoke detectors are one of the most important safety features in your home. Use this time of year as a reminder to replace the batteries in each unit—even if they’re not beeping yet. If your smoke detectors are more than five years old, it’s best to replace the entire unit to ensure they’re functioning properly.

A quick check now gives you peace of mind for the months ahead.

Replace Your Furnace Filter

Before you turn on your furnace for the season, make sure to swap out your air filter. A clean filter helps your system run more efficiently, improves air quality, and can even extend the life of your furnace. It’s one of those small, inexpensive maintenance steps that pays off all winter long.

A Fresh Start for Fall

With just a few simple updates, your home will be ready for the cooler months ahead—safer, cleaner, and running smoothly.
