Fall is officially here. These easy seasonal maintenance items will ensure you’re ready for the season.

• Schedule a service call to make sure your furnace, chimney and fireplace are in working order. Consider adding weatherstripping and door sweeps to any drafty areas to keep your heating bill low.
• Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries and be sure to always keep extra batteries on hand.
• Seal cracks in your concrete driveway or patio to prevent water from seeping in, which can then freeze, expand and cause the crack to grow.
• Also, drain all outdoor faucets and disconnect garden hoses from outside spigots to help keep water from freezing and prevent burst pipes.
