What to set up in your first week in a new Jacksonville home, from TVs and furniture to Wi-Fi, locks and hurricane prep.
The first week in a new home goes faster with a plan. Here's what most Jacksonville families set up first, in the order that makes the most sense.
Day one
- Change or rekey the exterior locks, or add a smart lock
- Test smoke and CO alarms and note their age
- Find the main water shutoff and the electrical panel
- Get Wi-Fi running so everything else can connect
First week
- Build beds first, then dressers and desks
- Mount TVs before furniture gets pushed against the walls
- Hang blinds or blackout shades in bedrooms
- Set up a video doorbell and cameras
- Anchor tall furniture if you have kids
First month

- Pressure wash the driveway and walkways
- Put together a hurricane kit before June
