🏠 October Homeowner Checklist: 9 Quick Wins to Lower Bills Before Winter ❄️

October is the perfect time to prep your home for colder months – and these simple tasks can save you serious money on heating bills!

Your October To-Do List:

✅ Air seal around windows and doors

✅ Add insulation where needed

✅ Reverse ceiling fans to clockwise

✅ Program smart thermostat schedules

✅ Replace HVAC filters

✅ Install fresh weatherstripping

✅ Service your furnace

✅ Clean gutters and downspouts

✅ Protect pipes from freezing

Pro tip: Reversing your ceiling fans to run clockwise pushes warm air down from the ceiling, helping you feel warmer at lower thermostat settings. This simple switch can reduce heating costs by up to 10%!

Most of these tasks take less than an hour but can lead to hundreds in savings throughout winter. Plus, you’ll catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.
