Fall Tips for Your Home in Charlotte, NC

I LOVE FALL! Unwinding after a busy, event-filled summer, getting back on a schedule, and enjoying more of my home is just what I need to keep going during the active months of the year. My favorite part of fall is slowing down, cozying up with a good book under a heavy blanket, and enjoying my favorite glass of red wine. And, of course, the crisp fall air! But, while I’m taking care of myself in the fall, I also care for my home. Here are some of my favorite fall tips for your home in Charlotte, NC.

The Teal Pumpkin Project

Teal Pumpkins make trick-or-treating more inclusive for children with food allergies and other intolerances. A teal pumpkin on your porch indicates that, besides candy, you offer non-food knick-knacks and safe treats for all trick-or-treaters.

Aerate Your Lawn

involves perforating the soil on your property with small holes, which helps improve the absorption of water, air, and nutrients by the grass’s roots, resulting in a greener, healthier lawn.

Inspect Your Chimney

Inspecting your chimney and fireplace in the fall has several benefits. First, chimney sweeps will remove creosote to prevent dangerous fires in your chimney. But there are other benefits, too, including improved air quality in your home, keeping your home warmer when the fireplace is not in use, and saving energy. Call your local chimney sweeper to inspect and clean your chimney before you start your first fire.

HVAC Service

Cooler temps mean you must prepare your HVAC system for fall maintenance, which ensures it’ll run smoothly for longer. Well-running systems are more energy efficient and will save you money in the long run. P.S. Have them check your bathroom fan too!!!
