Maintain Your Home Year-Round
Atlanta's four-season climate brings unique challenges. Use this checklist to stay ahead of repairs before they become expensive emergencies.
Spring (March–May)
- Inspect the roof for winter storm damage, missing shingles, or lifted flashing
- Service the HVAC before the summer cooling season begins
- Clean gutters of debris from fall and winter
- Test smoke and CO detectors and replace batteries
- Check for water intrusion in the basement or crawl space
Summer (June–August)
- Change HVAC filters monthly — Atlanta's humidity clogs them fast
- Check window and door seals to prevent cooled air from escaping
- Inspect the attic for signs of moisture or pest activity
- Service irrigation systems before peak watering season
Fall (September–November)
- Have the furnace serviced before the first cold snap
- Clean and inspect the fireplace/chimney if applicable
- Weatherstrip doors and windows for heating efficiency
- Drain outdoor hose bibs before temperatures drop
Winter (December–February)
- Know where your water shut-off is in case pipes freeze
- Insulate exposed pipes in the garage or crawl space
- Check attic insulation levels — Atlanta winters are short but cold
- Inspect the roof after any ice or snow event
Pro Tip: Atlanta's humidity means mold is a year-round concern. Run a dehumidifier in basements and crawl spaces and check those areas monthly.
