As the crisp air of fall settles in and leaves begin to turn, it’s the perfect reminder that winter is just around the corner. While autumn is a season to enjoy apple picking, pumpkin patches, and cozy evenings, it’s also the time to prepare your home for the cold months ahead. A little effort now can mean big savings, increased comfort, and peace of mind all winter long.

Why Fall is the Best Time to Prepare?

Temperatures in New England can shift quickly, and once winter hits, it’s often too late (or too inconvenient) to address energy issues in your home. Prepping in the fall ensures your systems are working at their best when you need them most, and that your home stays warm without sending your heating usage through the roof.

Essential Home Prep Tips for Fall

1

Check Your Insulation

Proper insulation is one of the most effective ways to keep warm air inside your home during winter. If your home is under-insulated, you could be losing a significant amount of your heat through your attic, walls, and floors. Fall is the ideal time to add or upgrade insulation so your home stays cozy without overworking your heating system.
2

Seal Drafts and Air Leaks

Even small drafts around windows, doors, or ductwork can make your home feel chilly and cause your heating system to work overtime. Sealing leaks not only improves comfort but also reduces wasted energy.
3

Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up

Before you crank up the heat, it’s smart to make sure your system is running efficiently. A professional tune-up can identify small issues before they become costly repairs, extend the life of your equipment, and help lower energy expenses throughout the season.
4

Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Equipment

If your heating system is outdated, upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace, boiler, or heat pump this fall can pay off with lower monthly expenses and better comfort all winter. Plus, there are significant rebates and incentives available—sometimes up to $10,000 on qualifying heat pump systems.
