Maintenance tasks

Seasonally adjusted

September

Have heating system checked and ducts cleaned
A servicing by a licensed HVAC professional can ensure that your system will work through extreme weather. Plus, significant dust build-up in ducts is common and can be a health hazard and aggravate those with allergies.

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

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.

September

Check that the fireplace damper is closed
The damper prevents warm air from escaping out of the fireplace. It also helps to prevent cold drafts and outside air from entering the home through the fireplace, and it helps to reduce energy costs.
