HVAC (service guide)
- Schedule heating mode check—flame sensors and heat exchanger issues show up on the first cold night.
- Replace filter after pollen season; vacuum return grilles if dusty.
Roofing (service guide)
- Clean gutters and downspouts; verify extensions discharge away from the slab.
- From the attic hatch, look for daylight at penetrations or damp insulation after rain.
- Compare any hail documentation from spring—fall is a good window for planned replacement.
Plumbing (service guide)
- Drain and shut off hose bibs; insulate exposed lines on pier-and-beam homes.
- Flush water heater sediment if your model recommends it—hard water builds scale in Georgetown.
Electrical (service guide)
- Test GFCI outlets in kitchens, baths, garage, and exterior.
- If you run space heaters, confirm circuits are not overloaded—portable heat is a common trip source.
Prep for Georgetown winter (December–February)
- Locate main water shutoff and hose bib shutoffs before a freeze watch.
- Stock pipe insulation, faucet covers, and know which rooms have pipes on exterior walls.
- Test smoke and CO detectors; heating season increases carbon monoxide risk.
- Review foundation crack warning signs if new gaps appeared after the dry summer soil cycle.
