Maintenance Tasks: September
Paint interior rooms while it's still warm enough to leave
windows open. Ditto for shampooing or replacing carpets.
Check heating system including filters, pilot lights, and
burners, and have the system serviced by a qualified
professional.
Clean and vacuum dust from vents, baseboard heaters and
cold-air returns.
Remove window air-conditioning units and store them. If they
are not removable, cover them with plastic to protect them over
the winter.
Tour the outside of your house to make sure that soils
around the foundation are properly graded. Soil should slope
four to six inches for a distance of three feet out from the
foundation walls.
Watch for year-end close-out sales on lawn and garden
equipment.
Inspect storm windows for any signs of deterioration and
make necessary repairs.
