Your Fall Home Checklist … Get Ready For Winter Weather

Sorry to break in here while you’re admiring all those pretty fall colors, but fall also brings other things that require our attention. It’s the season where we do some things now, that we appreciate not having to do later.

First up: Disconnect your hoses from those outdoor faucets before they freeze and break things. It might be a good time to look into some other options for protecting outdoor water supplies as well. We have a few ideas about that.

Second: Ceiling fans. They’ve been cooling for the summer (if they’re spinning the right direction), so now its time reverse their direction and get them distributing the heat. HERE’S A TIP: dust them before you reverse them or you could end up throwing out a cloud of whatever they’ve been collecting all summer.

Third: If you haven’t already, you’ll be firing up the furnace now. So this is the time to make sure you’ve got a nice clean furnace filter. We have a big selection of filters to make sure your furnace doesn’t work any harder than it has to this winter.

Last but not least:  There’s a lot more darkness now, so make sure those outdoor lights are working correctly. If you have a timer on those lights, you’ll want to make sure it’s set to be shining when needed.

Did we just make your to-do list a little longer? It’s what we’re here for.
