Your November Home Maintenance Checklist

November is the perfect month for a little home TLC. The weather is kind, and it is so much nicer to climb a ladder at 75 degrees than at 115.

Heating check

Schedule an HVAC tune-up. Your system worked overtime all summer, and now it gets to switch to heat. Change your filters too.

Roof walk (from the ground)

Look for cracked tiles or damaged flashing. Monsoon season can leave little surprises.

Gutters and scuppers

Clear out leaves and debris before our winter rains.

Adjust your irrigation

Cut back watering times for cooler weather. Your water bill and your plants will thank you.

Pool care

Lower your pump run time and check your equipment. If you have a heater, test it before family visits.

Smoke and CO detectors

New batteries and a quick test, especially before you start roasting turkeys.

Fireplace

If you have a wood-burning fireplace, get it inspected before the first fire.

Outdoor lighting

Shorter days mean more time in the dark. Check timers and bulbs.

Doing these now helps your home stay healthy, and if you ever sell, buyers love seeing maintenance records.
