7 Fall Home Tasks to Finish Before the First Freeze

7 Fall Home Tasks to Finish Before the First Freeze

Clean the gutters — clogged gutters freeze solid and can tear straight off your house.

Shut off and drain outdoor faucets — one forgotten hose can burst a pipe overnight.

Swap in a fresh furnace filter — a clogged one makes your system run longer and cost more.

Test every smoke and carbon monoxide detector — heating season is when they matter most.

Seal window and door gaps — drafts quietly waste the heat you're paying for.
