Protect shrubs and young trees from frost, and put away garden furniture as well as fragile pots. Inspect the roof and gutters, check the foundations, and redo the caulking where necessary. If you have a pool, make sure it is winterized properly. It is also a good time to check the snowblower, store your gardening tools, and place markers for snow.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"809\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6760\" src=\"https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ortizporcheronimmobilier.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lifestyle-scene-from-community-showing-care-support-from-people-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"1301\">Inside, a good cleaning makes all the difference. Wash windows, curtains, and carpets, put away summer clothes, and take out winter coats and boots. Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working and have your heating system serviced. If you have a fireplace, it should be cleaned as well. Check the insulation around doors and windows and replace ventilation filters. Keep an eye on humidity levels to maintain healthy and comfortable air, and store or clean air conditioners.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1531\">Taking a little time now ensures you can spend the winter in comfort and peace of mind. These simple preventive steps protect your home, preserve its value, and provide a warm, welcoming environment throughout the cold season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn is settling in, the leaves are falling, and the chill is in the air.
