Hey there AMA tribe,
I received the email below from one our HVAC guys and thought Iβd share. The one thing I would add to the list is clear any debris off the rain water grates on the road in front of your house. This will help prevent flooding in the spring when the snow melts!

Fall Home Prep Checklist
As the kids head back to school and many of you return to the office, your home will be spending more time on its own.
When the house is empty during the day, you want to know itβs protected. Ensuring your HVAC and plumbing are ready for the fall means fewer surprises and more peace of mind for your family.
Essential September Tasks:
β° Program thermostat for school/work schedules
π§ Check for running toilets that waste water
π² Install water sensors in basement areas
π Clear outdoor vents of leaves & debris
π₯ Test your heating system before you need it
π¨ Replace furnace air filters for a fresh start to the school year
