Seasonal Attic Checklists for Homeowners

From spring awakening to winter planning, systematic seasonal maintenance prevents 80% of costly home repairs and helps your property stay in top condition year-round. Developed by home inspectors, this comprehensive checklist divides 50+ essential tasks by season and prioritizes safety, system longevity, and property value protection.

Seal Windows and Doors

Concrete lifting can drive up heating costs, so it’s important to check around windows and doors for gaps or worn weather stripping. Caulking or replacing insulation in these areas keeps your indoor temperature stable and saves on energy bills. Inspect and Clean Gutters
Clogged gutters can lead to roof damage, so make sure your gutters are free of debris. It’s also a good time to clear any overhanging branches that could break off or fall during winter storms and threaten your house or yard.

Replace HVAC Filters

A dirty filter reduces air quality, so swapping out your filters is an easy and inexpensive way to improve your home’s indoor comfort. Also, test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries to ensure they’re working correctly.

Insulate Your Attic

As temperatures drop, proper attic insulation acts as a blanket that keeps warm air in and cold air out. Inspecting attic insulation for gaps or compression can help you spot problems early and save on heating bills. Installing a smart thermostat can further boost your savings by keeping your house cool when you’re there and turning down automatically when you’re away, per the EPA.
