As temperatures drop, a little preparation can go a long way in protecting your home and keeping energy costs under control!
1. 🍂 Clean Your Gutters
Remove leaves and debris to help water drain properly and prevent ice buildup and potential water damage.
2. 🔥 Schedule a Furnace Checkup
Have your heating system inspected and replace dirty air filters to help keep your home warm and your system running efficiently.
3. 🚰 Protect Your Pipes
Insulate exposed pipes, disconnect outdoor hoses, and know where your main water shutoff is in case a pipe freezes or bursts.
4. 🪟 Seal Windows and Doors
Check for drafts and add weatherstripping or caulk where needed to keep cold air out and warm air inside.
5. 🏠 Check Your Safety Devices
Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and make sure your fireplace or other heating equipment is properly maintained.
A little preventative maintenance now can help you avoid costly repairs later!
