October Home Maintenance Tasks

Every month, we share easy tasks you can do to keep your home in tip-top shape all

year long. So here are a few simple tasks you can take on in October!

Pack Away The Air Conditioner - If you use a seasonal air conditioning unit, then now

is the time to pack it up for winter! Make sure to spend a few extra minutes cleaning all

the filters and coils well. It will keep the unit in great shape and it will last much longer.

Winterize External Plumbing Systems - It's much better to prepare for freezing

temperatures before it's freezing! Winterize all exposed outdoor pipes and you'll avoid

the trouble when there is snow or ice on the ground.

Check Your Carbon Monoxide Detector - This is an important one! October is a great

time to check your carbon monoxide detector to make sure it is performing well.

Change the batteries, test it, and replace older units.

Clean Up For Halloween - Trick-or-treating can be a liability hazard! Clean up any

loose tree limbs, fill holes in the yard, and remove any fire hazard Halloween decorations before kids are running to your door.
