October Home Health Checklist

Our October Home Health Checklist has over 25 items to keep your home in excellent working condition this fall. This checklist covers many important areas of your home, with a special emphasis on climate control and appliance maintenance. Our continued goal with these monthly checklists is to help keep your home in tip-top shape while avoiding any costly insurance claims down the road.

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 bring awareness of conditions that may need to be corrected before a breakdown occurs. The actions are generic recommendations and are not designed or intended to replace or supersede manufacturer recommendations; they are general instructions to bring awareness to 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 checklists related to your home.
