Fall is the perfect time to make sure your home is ready for the colder months ahead. With a few simple steps, you can keep your home cozy, safe, and energy-efficient as temperatures drop.
Check Your Home Insulation
Proper insulation ensures your home stays warm without overworking your heating system. Check for drafts near windows and doors; a quick seal can make a big difference.
Inspect Your Heating System
Before the chill hits, have your heating system checked. Change filters and ensure vents are clear to keep your system efficient and ready to handle colder weather.
Clean Your Gutters
Falling leaves can quickly clog gutters, leading to water buildup and potential damage. Regularly clearing gutters and downspouts can prevent water from damaging your roof or foundation.
Protect Outdoor Pipes and Faucets
If temperatures in your area tend to dip below freezing, drain and cover outdoor faucets to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.
With these steps, you’ll enjoy a cozy, efficient home all season long. Contact us to learn more about the energy-efficient features included in our new builds!
