It’s only November, but judging by the recent temperature drop, Old Man Winter will be knocking at our doors soon enough! Here are some great tips to get your home ready for his arrival.
1. Get Your Hands Dirty – Avoid potential leaks by cleaning your gutters to allow proper drainage and sealing any leaks outside your home with weather-resistant caulk.
2. 99% Insulation, 1% Perspiration – Prevent frozen pipes by properly wrapping and insulating pipes that run through unheated spaces and by draining outdoor hose lines before nighttime temps drop below freezing.
3. Lock the Heat In – You’d be surprised at how much you can save in energy costs over the course of the winter with simple, low-cost tricks! Try reversing the direction of your ceiling fans, moving furniture off of vents and using an under-the-door draft stopper.
