As we say goodbye to summer, remembering warm days at the shore, our thoughts fast forward to pumpkin spice everything, cascading leaves, and unpacking our favorite sweaters. As we prepare for the arrival of a new season, it is time to think about ways to get our homes ready for fall, from gutter cleaning to installing energy-efficient Cellular Shades, Clifton, to Essex Fells. These steps will save money and prevent issues from happening during the harsh winter months.

One of the most beneficial things you can do to prep your home for the colder months is to clean your gutters. Colorful leaves are glorious to see on the ground, but they can cause serious damage to your home when they fall into and clog your gutters. When jammed full of acorns, twigs, and leaves, gutters won’t be able to function properly and allow rainwater to flow away from your home.

If you couldn’t live without your ceiling fan to keep your home cool all summer, there’s no reason it can’t become your ally in the winter as well. By reversing the direction of your ceiling fan, you’ll stay just as comfortable during the cold weather. In the winter, warm air rises to the ceiling as cool air remains near the ground. If you use the reverse button on your remote, you can change the direction of the blades, forcing cool air up as the warm air is pushed down, keeping you toasty without raising your thermostat.

A worthwhile investment in your home is to upgrade old window treatments to Cellular Shades, Clifton to Nutley. They are sleek and stylish, but Cellular Shades offer light control, privacy, and incredible energy efficiency. Available in various colors and textures, it is simple to find Cellular Shades, Clifton, to Bloomfield that will match your decor and budget. Easily customizable to fit unusual-sized windows like angled windows, arches, hexagons, and skylights, their cellular design also makes them a shield for your home. The honeycomb cell design keeps warm air all winter by forming a barrier between your home and the window. You’ll save money on energy costs during both the winter and summer months, and your home will remain comfortable.

Don’t forget to clean your chimney and fireplace as we enter the fall season. Before using the fireplace for the first time this season, ensure that it is ready by having your chimney thoroughly cleaned and inspected, and every 50 or so burns. This will keep your home safe and ensure you can enjoy those cozy evenings by the fire as the snow falls outside and you binge your favorites on Netflix.
