Autumn Home Checklist

Your Autumn Home Checklist

With the kids heading back to school and summer routines coming to an end, it’s a great time to give your home a little check-up too.

Before the mornings get colder and the heating goes back on full-time, tick a few essential jobs off your list and make sure your home is ready for autumn and winter.

1. Check Your Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they’re working. Press the test button on every alarm in your home and replace the batteries if needed. It’s a quick job that provides peace of mind for you and your family.

2. Check Your Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Press the test button on your carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to make sure they’re working properly. Check the batteries and make sure alarms are positioned correctly and easy to hear throughout your home.

3. Test Your Heating

Turn your heating on for a few minutes to make sure your boiler fires up, your radiators heat evenly, and your thermostat is working properly. If something doesn’t seem right, now is the best time to get it checked.

4. Bleed Any Cold Radiators

If some radiators stay cold at the top while others heat up normally, they may need bleeding.

This simple job can help your heating system work more efficiently.

5. Check Your Boiler Pressure

Give your boiler pressure a quick check before winter arrives. If it’s too low or keeps dropping, your heating may not work as it should. Spotting the problem now means you can get it sorted before you really need the heating.

6. Book Your Boiler Service

The heatwave’s over, winter’s getting closer, and now is the perfect time to book your annual boiler service. Getting it checked now helps keep your boiler running safely and efficiently throughout the colder months.
