Winter will be here sooner than you think, and even though we enjoy milder winter weather than most of the country, it’s still a good idea to start preparing your home for the new season. Fortunately, there are a lot of projects that can improve your home’s energy efficiency and make your home more comfortable. In today’s article, Handyman Connection® of Winter Park, the area’s trusted home maintenance company, talks about great home improvement projects to tackle this fall.

Have Roof Leaks Repaired

If your home has roof leaks, don’t wait til the next rainy day to get it fixed. Energy can also escape through the leaks in your roof, so you’ll have to worry about higher energy bills in addition to the increased risk of water damage. Fortunately, professional roofers work during fall so you can easily schedule a professional roof inspection and repair this season. Fall tends to be a slow season for contractors, so you might receive a discount.

Check Your Doors and Windows for Air Leaks

You should also go around your home and check your windows and doors for cracks and gaps. Remember that air leaks can lead to indoor humidity issues and make your HVAC work harder any time of the year. Caulk your windows and doors to prevent this from happening. In addition to this task, you should also check your windows and doors for worn or ripped weatherstripping. Make sure to replace this weatherstripping as well.

Ask a Pro to Service Your HVAC

Make sure to replace your dirty air filters and schedule a professional HVAC inspection this fall. A technician can make sure everything is in good condition by checking all of your HVAC system’s parts and electrical connections. Regular HVAC maintenance will save you money on repairs and improve your systems lifespan, performance and energy efficiency.
