Here are some tips for home maintenance during seasonal changes:

1. Inspect your heating and air conditioning system: Before the colder or warmer weather arrives, check and clean filters, replace thermostat batteries, and schedule professional maintenance if needed.
2. Check windows and doors: Look for cracks or air leaks around windows and doors. Seal any openings with caulk or weatherstripping and consider installing draft stoppers or weather seals to improve insulation.
3. Clean and inspect chimneys: If you have a fireplace, ensure it is clean and in good working condition. Clean the flue and check that the chimney cap is in good condition to prevent the entry of animals or debris.
4. Perform a deep cleaning: Before the new season arrives, take the opportunity to do a thorough cleaning in your home. Clean carpets, vacuum curtains, wipe surfaces, and perform a comprehensive cleaning in hard-to-reach areas.
5. Inspect the roof and gutters: Check for roof damage, such as broken or cracked shingles, and replace them if necessary. Clean gutters of leaves and debris to ensure proper rainwater drainage.
6. Prepare the garden and landscaping: Rake up fallen leaves, trim bushes and trees, and prepare your garden for the new season. Consider planting new flowers or plants suitable for the season.
7. Check and change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: Ensure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly. Replace batteries as needed.
