tasks we suggest you do right away. This list will walk you through some of the administrative work of registering addresses and switching utilities, as well as offering some guidance into budgeting and maintenance. Plus, you\u2019ll find insight into how to plan decorating, renovating, and remodeling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintenance_and_updates\"><\/span>Maintenance and updates&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_smoke_alarms_and_carbon_monoxide_detectors\"><\/span>Check smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors have test buttons. Depending on the model, they may communicate with a security company. Alert your monitoring company and then perform the tests by following the model\u2019s instructions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_locks\"><\/span>Change your locks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Change all the exterior locks to your house, or have them re-keyed by a locksmith. Even if it\u2019s a new build, there\u2019s no way to know for sure who has keys to the property and who doesn\u2019t. Either way, it\u2019s always a good idea to ensure that, as early as possible, you and your family are the only people who can access the property.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inspect_your_HVAC_system\"><\/span>Inspect your HVAC system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heating and cooling systems are complex machines, so major repairs should be done by a trained professional. But there are a few things you can do to get your HVAC system ready for whichever season it is. Change the filters on your unit every 1-3 months and spray the outdoor unit with a hose to clear it of any dust, pollen or leaves\u2014especially in allergy season. Clear away brush from the outdoor unit as well to make it easier to service if it should need maintenance from an HVAC technician.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reset_your_water_heater\"><\/span>Reset your water heater<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you had a professional inspection done before buying the home, you\u2019ll know how old the water heater is and when it was last serviced. Drain it and reset it to make sure everything is working properly. Plus, changing temperature and pressure settings could save you on energy and utility bills in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hire_a_fireplace_specialist\"><\/span>Hire a fireplace specialist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you cozy up to your new fireplace, hire a professional to check that it is working properly\u2014and safely. A fireplace specialist should clean it and inspect the gasket, cap, and damper to make sure air is flowing properly and no animals can make it into the chimney.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hire_a_pest_specialist\"><\/span>Hire a pest specialist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Protect your home\u2019s interior, exterior, and green spaces by hiring a professional to check for any existing pests and potential weak spots. Depending on your area or the season, setting traps, spraying the lawn, or just sealing holes in the siding will be sufficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Locate_shut-offs_and_circuit_breakers\"><\/span>Locate shut-offs and circuit breakers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re going to want to know exactly where your circuit breakers are and what wiring each switch controls right away. This will save you a lot of time and headaches later. The same goes for emergency water shut-off valves in case of back-ups or flooding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_maintenance_checklist\"><\/span>Create a maintenance checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of factors go into keeping your home safe, warm, and comfortable. Do you know what needs to be updated and when? At some point while you were making an offer and closing on your new home, you should have received an inspection report. Use this as a reference to get started, then adapt it into a yearly checklist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Papers_bills_and_dates\"><\/span>Papers, bills, and dates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lock_your_closing_documents_away\"><\/span>Lock your closing documents away<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will receive\u2014and sign\u2014a lot of documents when you close. Most of them contain agreements and information you\u2019ve already discussed with the various other folks involved in your purchase, such as the real estate agent, bank, and escrow company. These are important records about your mortgage, the deed, and title of your home, so keep them safe and secure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transfer_utilities\"><\/span>Transfer utilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait to transfer your utilities until it\u2019s too late and you have to go a few days without them. You\u2019ll want utilities set up at your new home in your name at least a day before you move into your new home officially. This will make sure there\u2019ll be no pause in your service from your old place to your new one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_address\"><\/span>Change address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to <a href=\"https:\/\/moversguide.usps.com\/mgo\/disclaimer\"><strong>forward your mail<\/strong><\/a> and officially change your address on any account or document that requires the information. Now is the time to change your address for your driver\u2019s license, car insurance, credit card payment, subscriptions, your employer, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_important_phone_numbers_to_your_contacts\"><\/span>Add important phone numbers to your contacts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to make sure you have quick access to the police non-emergency line, utility company, animal control, and the information of your new homeowner\u2019s insurance provider. It might also be a good idea to add the phone number of emergency plumbers and locksmiths, just in case.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_when_trash_day_is\"><\/span>Learn when trash day is<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some neighborhoods pick up trash and recycling together, some split up the days. Some trash pickups are once per week, others are less frequent. Don\u2019t wait until your trash starts to smell before you realize you don\u2019t know when to get it to the curb!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update_your_budget\"><\/span>Update your budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ll be paying a regular mortgage for a long time to come, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyhomes.com\/blog\/how-to-prep-for-a-financial-checkup\/\"><strong>going back over all your finances<\/strong><\/a>. Consider that you\u2019ll be paying for regular maintenance on the home as well as updates and decorations and furnishings. Add property taxes and other expenses, and make sure your monthly costs don\u2019t exceed your monthly earnings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research_refinancing_options\"><\/span>Research refinancing options&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point, you\u2019ll likely want to refinance your home loan. This is a way to get more out of your mortgage when rates dip or you need to do some expensive updates or additions. Refinancing is not one size fits all and there are pros and cons to the process. Learn about them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyhomes.com\/blog\/the-beginners-guide-to-refinancing\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decorating_and_personalization\"><\/span>Decorating and personalization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paint_your_new_home\"><\/span>Paint your new home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paint the exterior and interior of your home. This one is smart to do before moving in, while there\u2019s no furniture to move. A new coat of paint, no matter the color, will help protect siding, and a good painter can help with dry rot and other maintenance issues, too. Once the paint dries, it\u2019ll really start to feel like home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Replace_minor_accessories\"><\/span>Replace minor accessories&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Things like electrical plates, door knobs, trim, and light fixtures aren\u2019t that hard to replace and shouldn\u2019t cost you too much money if you do it yourself. And a little goes a long way with these accessories. A few new details in your home can transform it with just one stop at the local hardware store.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_measurements\"><\/span>Take measurements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Measure and write down the measurements of walls, corners, nooks, and hallways in your home. Keep them on your phone so you\u2019ll have them available next time you\u2019re at the furniture store or a garage sale so you never have to guess!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gather_estimates\"><\/span>Gather estimates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One day, you\u2019ll likely want to update your floors, kitchen or bathroom.
