Preparing Your Manufactured Home for Fall: Maintenance Checklist
Get Your Home Ready for Cooler Weather
As temperatures drop, it’s essential to prepare your manufactured home for the fall season. Proper maintenance helps prevent costly repairs, enhances energy efficiency, and keeps your home comfortable throughout the colder months. To make the transition easy, we’ve put together a comprehensive fall maintenance checklist. Plus, Arco Distributing offers all the supplies you need to get the job done right.
Fall Maintenance Checklist for Manufactured Homes
1. Inspect and Seal Windows & Doors
Check for drafts around windows and doors. Apply weatherstripping or caulking to seal any gaps and prevent heat loss. Arco Distributing carries high-quality weatherproofing materials to improve insulation and keep your home warm.
2. Check and Clean Your HVAC System
Ensure your heating system is ready for increased use. Replace air filters, clean vents, and consider scheduling a professional HVAC inspection. If you need new heating components, Arco Distributing offers a range of HVAC products to keep your system running efficiently.
3. Inspect and Maintain Your Roof
Look for signs of damage, such as missing shingles or leaks. Apply roofing sealants to prevent water intrusion before fall storms arrive. Arco Distributing provides roofing adhesives and sealants to extend the life of your roof.
4. Prepare Your Plumbing for Colder Temperatures
Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and bursting. Check for leaks and ensure your water heater is functioning properly. Our selection of plumbing supplies includes pipe insulation, sealants, and water heater maintenance products.
5. Check and Clean Your Skirting
Your home’s skirting provides insulation and protection against pests. Inspect it for cracks or gaps, and replace damaged sections as needed. Arco Distributing offers durable vinyl skirting options to enhance the look and efficiency of your home.
6. Clear Gutters and Downspouts
Falling leaves can clog gutters, leading to water damage. Clean your gutters and ensure downspouts direct water away from your home’s foundation to prevent erosion and leaks.
7. Inspect and Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
As you rely more on heating appliances, ensure all safety alarms are functioning properly. Replace batteries and test each detector for optimal performance.
