Your August Home Maintenance Checklist:

  • Inspect Your Fireplace

    Making sure your fireplace is clear of obstructions and in working order can prevent fires caused by blockages or unsafe ventilation. You should also check to ensure your chimney flue is open to prevent generating a large amount of smoke when you initially start a fire to prevent hazards.

  • Outdoor Water Maintenance

    As part of your fall surface water management checklist, be sure to remove garden hoses and any attachment from the exterior hose bib before freezing temperatures.

  • Check Weatherstripping & Sweeps

    Weatherstripping will wear out with time. Each fall, you should check weatherstripping and sweeps around the perimeter and exterior doors and replace if necessary.

  • Monthly duties:

    Remember to do these every month:

    • Check the batteries in your smoke and CO2 Detectors
    • Replace or clean your furnace air filter
    • Clean your hood range filter
