As summer winds down, thoughts turn to cooler weather and preparing your home for those cooler nights. While the fall weather in Florida is not as different as it is in other parts of the country, fall is hurricane weather in the Southeast. At The Isom Insurance Group in Polk County, FL, we ensure that our customers don’t have to worry about the fall, whether their home insurance is up to date or what they need.
Get your heating unit serviced
In Florida, you are likely to have either a split system or a heat pump and AC. In the fall, there may start to be chilly nights when you want to turn the heat on, and you want to make sure that your system is in good condition and working as efficiently as possible.
Make sure your gutters are clear.
The fall can be very rainy, and if your gutters are filled with debris from trees in your yard, the water can back up and damage your eaves and your roof. If you are going to clear them yourself, make sure that someone is with you and spot them if you lose your balance. Even better, hire someone to do it for you.
Make sure your lawn furniture is secure.
Because fall is hurricane season, it is wise to ensure that your lawn furniture is secured or easy to carry indoors. If you are going to be away at any time, take everything in from the yard, including ornaments, portable plants, and furniture, and put them in the garage for safekeeping.
