Use seasonal checklists designed around Northern Colorado conditions.
A seasonal system for Northern Colorado homes
A maintenance plan works best when it records condition, not just completion. Keep dated photos, model numbers, filter sizes, service reports and warranty documents together.
Cold-weather preparation
- Review exposed plumbing, exterior faucets and irrigation shutdown needs.
- Test alarms according to manufacturer instructions and arrange heating service when due.
- Check drainage paths, weather seals and equipment access.
Storm and warm-season checks
- Inspect from the ground after hail or high wind.
- Keep gutters, grading and drainage routes functioning.
- Review cooling, ventilation and irrigation before peak demand.
Prioritize active leaks, combustion or electrical warnings and structural concerns. This checklist cannot replace property-specific instructions.
