The end of summer usually means warm temperatures and, therefore, running the air conditioning a bit more than usual. It also means we’re just a few months away from crisper air and possibly running the heater. Now is the perfect time to cross a few healthy home maintenance to-dos off your list to make sure the air is circulating properly and everything is in tip-top shape.
1. Change Air Conditioning Filters
Plus, changing your filter at the start of every season helps protect and maintain your system.
2. Review Hot Water Heater Settings
Set hot water heaters at 120 degrees Fahrenheit or below to avoid potential scalding.
3. Clean The Stove
Over time, grease can build up around the stove, increasing the chances of a fire.
4. Look For Cracks
Inspect the floor, walls and foundation of the home for cracks. Jot them down on your home to-do list, and fix them before they lead to deterioration and wood rot.
5. Check Weatherproofing
Sometimes it’s rubber which loses shape or sometimes wood doors and windows expand and contract. Check to see what kind of shape it’s in and replace it before it rains.

The shortest and obvious answer for when you should start fall cleaning is to start when fall begins. Fall starts on the autumnal equinox which lands on or around September 22nd. It lasts until the winter equinox which is in late December.
The better answer is to assess your current home situation and start when it’s the best time for you.
To help you make your assessment, I came up with a few questions and tips you may want to keep in mind…
What Fall Cleaning Do You Need To Do?
Creating a good fall cleaning checklist is a must. It helps you to plan ahead and stay on target. It helps you keep track of what you complete and what you will still need to do. Plus it is satisfying to check things off a list!
To create a fall cleaning checklist walk from room to room through your with a notebook. Take note of what needs deep cleaned, organized and repairs that you need to make.
As you look around pay attention to:
Inside drawers
Behind furniture
Closets
Windows
Fans and lighting
Crown molding
Under furniture and cushions.
Draperies, blinds, and valances.
Pantry
Coat Closets
Electronics
Fire Places
Furnace and utility rooms
Do the same for the exterior of your home. Inspect:
Siding
Roof
Gutters
Garden areas
Garage
A/C or Heat Pump
Sidewalks
Driveways
Porches
Deck
Outdoor Furniture
Other Landscaping
Weatherstripping
Be sure to think ahead. Some things need cleaned and maintained now. Some will need to be done later in the fall. Also, think about weatherproofing your home for the upcoming winter.
