Home Maintenance

• A great time for laying down grass seed is around Labor Day weekend. The weather has cooled off enough that the grass can do alright without a lot of competition from weeds. Also, it will be a lot easier for you to keep the seed moist until it sprouts.
• Believe it or not, winter will be here soon. This month is a good time to check the caulking or glazing around your external windows. Also, check the storm windows for proper functionality. Those cool autumn evenings will quickly turn into cold winter nights, and keeping out the drafts is going to make you feel a lot more comfortable.
• This may be the month that you switch over from air conditioning to heating. When you do that, don't forget to replace your furnace air filter. A clean filter collects more debris from the air and helps your furnace run more efficiently. Also, the sooner in the season that you test your furnace, the easier it will be to get it repaired before it gets really cold in case it doesn't start up for you.
