Our October Home Health Checklist includes over 25 items to ensure your home is in excellent working condition this fall. This month's checklist covers essential areas such as washer and dryer maintenance, outdoor lighting, and heating system upkeep. As the seasons change and we transition into fall, paying attention to these key areas of home maintenance is crucial.
Checking your washer and dryer in the fall is important because dryers can accumulate lint and debris over time, posing a fire hazard if not cleaned regularly. Outdoor lighting is essential as the days get shorter, and ensuring all lights function properly will help maintain safety and security around your home. Fall is also the perfect time to inspect and maintain your heating system before the colder weather sets in. By addressing these areas now, you can ensure that your home is safe, comfortable, and efficient throughout the fall and winter months.
Important October Home Health Checklist Note:
These checklists help readers understand how their home functions, what to look for to reduce breakdowns, and the insurance claims that often follow. They are visual inspections designed to raise awareness of conditions that may need to be corrected before a breakdown occurs. The actions are generic recommendations and are not designed to replace or supersede manufacturer recommendations; they are general instructions to raise awareness of your home’s health.
Each month, we will publish the checklists recommended to be performed during that month. Click the links below to access the October PDF checklists related to your home.
