Just Around the Corner…Fall?
I typed it and almost didn’t believe it myself. But, yes, fall is just around the corner. I know because the kids are back in school, the stores are filled with boots and sweaters and there is pumpkin spice everything everywhere you go. However, my thoughts go towhat needs to be done at my home to prepare for fall and…even winter. As most of you probably do when you have those thoughts I headed straight to the computer to see what the “experts” say I should be paying attention to as I prepare for fall. There were multitudes of great sites with wonderful tips and even checklists for fall home maintenance. It gave me a ton of things to think about.
I have to say though, without question on almost every site I went to, changing the furnace filters, having the heating system checked and checking and cleaning fireplace were all there. Of course, checking the weather stripping on doors and garage doors was there. And, checking windows for drafts and cracks etc. was there as well. All of these things have to do with the quality of our indoor air. So, it really is important. We already knew that but it’s nice to know that it is on the radar of the masses. The one thing I would probably add to these lists would be air duct cleaning if it hasn’t been done in the last 5-7 years. It’s not something that shows up on these sites but it most definitely contributes to the efficiency of your heating system, the dust in your home and the quality of the air you are breathing indoors.
Of course there were many other things to consider as well. I’m adding some link of a few of the better ones here so you can see for yourself.
