We all spend hours outside getting the yard and garden fall clean up done. However as homeowners there is an equally important list of small maintenance items that should be completed as we ready our homes for winter. Take a look at the following checklist of fall home maintenance items that MI Homes has created. Then check off the ones that you should complete around your home.

  • Manage exterior faucets and sprinkler

  • Remove sump pump discharge hose

  • Replace your furnace filter

  • Clean filters on air exchanger

  • Clean or replace the core of your humidifier

  • Replace smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries

  • Inspect and replace caulking

  • Check weatherstripping & adjust thresholds

  • Have fireplace professionally serviced

 

I hope that you are enjoying the unseasonably warm weather we are having. We all know what’s just around the corner now that it’s November. One more thing too! We go off Daylight Savings Time next Sunday, November 6.
