Preparing Your Home For Fall
🍂 Keep Homes Comfortable, Safe & Beautiful All Season Long
As the seasons shift, it’s the perfect time prepare our homes for the cooler months ahead. These home care tips helps homeowners protect their investment — while keeping their spaces warm, inviting, and efficient.
🏡 5 Easy Fall Home Tips to Share
1. Reverse Ceiling Fans
Switch fans to a clockwise rotation to push warm air down and help circulate heat evenly throughout the home.
2. Check Weatherstripping
Seal up any gaps around doors and windows. A quick inspection helps keep heat in — and energy bills low.
3. Test the Thermostat
Turn it on before the first cold snap to ensure it’s working properly. Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for added convenience and efficiency.
4. Replace Smoke & CO Detector Batteries
Safety first. Fresh batteries ensure protection as heating systems and fireplaces come back into use.
5. Rake & Mulch Leaves
Mulching fallen leaves keeps lawns healthy, prevents mold growth, and reduces unwanted pests in the yard.
💡 Bonus Tip: Recommend scheduling a home maintenance day before the holidays — an ideal opportunity to refresh, repair, and cozy up for the season.
🔧 Popular Fall Home Services

Did you know? 30% of home heating fires are caused by unmaintained chimneys. A simple cleaning helps keep families safe and cozy.
💡 Did you know? You can order a home warranty plan anytime — not just when you purchase your home. It’s a smart, year-round way to protect your investment, prevent unexpected repair costs, and enjoy peace of mind all season long.
