Seasonal Home Maintenance Checklist for Oklahoma Homeowners

Seasonal Home Maintenance Checklist for Oklahoma Homeowners



(With a Touch of Holiday Cheer!)



As the holidays roll in and the Oklahoma weather starts doing what it does best—changing its mind every five minutes—it’s the perfect time to give your home a little seasonal TLC. At Two Structures, we build homes meant to last a lifetime, and part of that promise comes from helping you keep your home comfortable, safe, and running smoothly through every season.



So grab a cup of cocoa, turn on your favorite holiday playlist, and let’s walk through a simple, festive home maintenance checklist to keep your house merry and bright.




1. Cozy Up Your Heating System



Before the winter chill settles in, make sure your furnace or heat pump is ready to work overtime.




  • Replace air filters

  • Test your thermostat

  • Clear dust from vents

  • Schedule a seasonal HVAC tune-up



Think of it as giving your home a warm winter coat—one it definitely deserves.




2. Protect Your Pipes From the Icy Grinch



Oklahoma freezes may come and go, but when they arrive, they mean business.




  • Disconnect and store outdoor hoses

  • Cover exterior hosebibs with insulated covers

  • Leave faucets dripping on the coldest nights

  • Open cabinet doors underneath sinks on exterior walls on the coldest nights



A little prep now saves big headaches later—nobody wants a burst pipe stealing the show during the holidays.




3. Give Your Gutters the Gift of a Clean Sweep



Fallen leaves are beautiful until they clog your gutters.




  • Clear leaves and debris

  • Confirm water flows freely away from your foundation



Thats the kind of gift your home will thank you for long after the decorations come down.




4. Check Windows & Doors for Drafts



Drafts sneak in like uninvited holiday guests.




  • Feel for cold air around windows and doors

  • Add weatherstripping where needed

  • Use simple draft stoppers if needed



A tighter seal keeps both your home and your energy bills feeling joyful.




5. Light Up Safely



As holiday lights start twinkling across the neighorhood, make sure your electrical setup is safe.




  • Inspect outdoor lights for frayed wires

  • Use outdoor-rated extension cords

  • Avoid overloading outlets



Enjoy all the sparkle -- without the sparks.




6. Refresh Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors



With more cooking, heating, and celebrating happening indoors, this is a must.




  • Test all alarms

  • Replace batteries

  • Make sure detectores are placed properly



Its a small step that brings big peace of mind.




7. Show Your Fireplace Some Love



Nothing beats a cozy fire during the holidays.




  • Clean out the fireplace

  • Check the damper

  • Have the chimney inspected if you burn wood



Your fireplace should glove, not smoke out your holiday spirit.
