- Inspect and Service Heating Systems: Ensure your heating system is in top shape for the colder months. Replace filters and schedule a professional inspection to ensure efficient performance.
- Check Windows and Doors: Seal any gaps or cracks around windows and doors to keep the warmth in and the cold out. Proper weatherstripping and caulking can make a big difference!
- Roof and Gutter Maintenance: Inspect the roof for loose or damaged shingles after fall weather. Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams and water buildup, which can cause damage.
- Outdoor Maintenance: Drain and shut off outdoor faucets to prevent freezing. Winterize your sprinkler system if you haven't already. Also, consider protecting outdoor furniture or tools from the elements.
- Prepare for Storms: Have emergency supplies ready in case of storms. Check flashlight batteries, stock up on non-perishable food items, and ensure you have backup heating options, such as blankets or a generator.
