Prepare Your Home For Winter
  Whether you live in the Northwest or Southeastern part of the country, winter can be a very expensive time of year.  To help prepare your home for winter, we have put together short checklist to help you avoid expensive home repairs and reduce energy waste.
 
  1. Caulk around window and door glass and trim, and all exterior trim. Install or replace weather stripping on all doors and windows.
  2. Have your heating system checked by a licensed heating/air-conditioning professional. Most furnace manufacturers recommend at least annual inspections.
  3. Check gutters and clean them if necessary.
  4. Have your chimneys inspected by a chimney service and, if necessary, cleaned.  Ensure you have a tight seal around the opening to the fireplace as well to avoid cold air drafts.
  5. Drain and shut off outdoor water faucets including automatic sprinkler systems.
  6. Replace the batteries in carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Check to make sure these are all in working order. Check fire extinguishers and charge and replace as necessary.

These are some of the quick tips for winter preparation.  Monte Hewett Homes recommends year-round maintenance of your home.  Visit our website for a yearly maintenance schedule (click here).
