Don’t forget that fall will be here before you know it. With the ever so slight chill in the air that Denver Metro has felt the last couple of days, it reminded me that fall is just around the corner. That made me think of all the “honey do’s” that need to be done around the house.
One very important chore is getting your furnace cleaned and serviced. I would most likely never remember to do this except that I attend a lot of home inspections. In just about every inspection, the inspector recommends that the furnace gets cleaned and serviced. It is very important to the long term health of your furnace and the cost usually runs around $100 to $150; a small price to pay for something that is so important.
You may also think about fixing any draft problems. I recently replaced the door that goes out to the garage. After 21 years of use, it wasn’t straight and was letting in a lot of cold air. Safety doors are not cheap, but well worth it to help keep heating costs down. Now, no more freezing air blowing into my house!
Let’s not forget about the exterior. You may want to start the yearly investment in winterizer for your lawn. The exterior curb appeal of your home is just as important. After all, it is the first impression of you!
Your home is your castle (and typically one of your primary investments). The nicer you keep it, the better it will sell when the time comes to move on.
