Nevada Fall Maintenance Reminders (Don’t Skip These!)
As the crisp air rolls into Northern Nevada and the leaves begin to turn, now is the perfect time to get your home ready for the colder months ahead. A little preparation now can save you from costly repairs later and keep your home cozy all winter long. Here are three important fall maintenance reminders for Northern Nevada homeowners:
Winterize Your Irrigation System
Freezing temperatures can cause serious damage to irrigation lines. Be sure to shut off your outdoor water, drain the lines, and blow them out if necessary. This small step helps avoid cracked pipes when freezing temperatures hit and costly spring repairs.
Shut off the water to outdoor spigots.
Drain or blow out lines so residual water doesn’t freeze and crack pipes.
Insulate above-ground plumbing and valves.
Service Your Heater
Before you flip the switch on your furnace, schedule a professional tune-up. A serviced heating system runs more efficiently, helps keep your energy bills lower, and ensures your home stays warm through our snowy Northern Nevada.
Schedule a professional inspection and cleaning before winter.
Replace filters, check ductwork, test safety controls, and lubricate moving parts.
This helps ensure efficiency, avoid midwinter failures, and keep energy costs in check.
Fireplace or Pellet Stove Check-Up
If your home has a fireplace or pellet stove, fall is the time for inspection and cleaning. Proper maintenance keeps your system running safely and efficiently—plus, nothing beats the comfort of a warm fire during a Nevada snowstorm.
Hire a certified technician to clean flues, check for creosote buildup, and inspect for blockages or damage.
Ensure vents and chimneys are clear and securely sealed.
If you use a pellet stove, check hopper mechanisms and seals.
A safe, well-maintained fireplace or stove is a cozy bonus — and lowers fire risk.
additional fall tips:
Wash windows inside and out.
Clean the oven while its warm enough to have some windows open.
Swap out linen sheets for flannel bedding.
store away your outside chair/lounge cushions.
Prepare your yard for winter conditions.
Clean the gutters through out Autumn.
When your environment is ready for the elements, you feel prepared, happy, and motivated.
