As the leaves start to change, it’s time for condo owners to prepare for the cooler months ahead. Fall is an ideal season to take care of maintenance tasks that will keep your condo in great shape through winter. Here’s a checklist from Envision Property Management to help you get started:
- Check Windows and Doors for Drafts
Inspect seals around windows and doors to ensure they’re airtight. Replacing worn-out weather stripping can help reduce heating costs and keep your unit cozy. - Inspect and Clean the Heating System
Fall is the time to test your heating system. Change filters, dust vents, and schedule any necessary maintenance to ensure it’s ready for colder temperatures. - Prepare Outdoor Spaces
If you have a balcony, bring in or cover outdoor furniture, and clear any debris. If your condo has communal outdoor areas, your property management team will handle these tasks, but it’s good to ensure that individual spaces are winter-ready too. - Inspect Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
This simple safety check can save lives. Test each detector and replace batteries as needed. - Schedule Any Necessary Repairs
With winter around the corner, fall is the ideal time to address any lingering repairs, from leaky faucets to small cracks. This can help prevent further damage caused by winter weather.
