Maintenance tasks

Seasonally adjusted

September

Change HVAC air filters
Helps keep the air in your home clean by trapping dust and other airborne particles, reducing allergens and providing cleaner air to breathe. Helps your HVAC system run more efficiently and helps extend the life of the system.

September

Clean front porch and back deck
Helps to maintain the overall aesthetic of your home, helps to prevent damage to the deck or porch itself, and helps to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can be a health hazard.

September

Reverse ceiling fan blades to circulate air upwards
In the winter, reverse ceiling fan blades or reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space.

September

Seed the lawn (best time for strong grass in Spring)
The fall season`s soil temperatures and higher levels of rainfall provide ideal conditions for new seedlings to establish a healthy root system. When spring comes the new grass will be stronger and grow faster.

Why?

Helps keep the air in your home clean by trapping dust and other airborne particles, reducing allergens and providing cleaner air to breathe. Helps your HVAC system run more efficiently and helps extend the life of the system.
