Winter Home Preparation

Winter is the time for cozy sweaters, hot chocolate and snow. But before you can enjoy the season, you need to make sure your house is ready for it.

Whether you live in a warm climate or a cold one, winter can be a difficult time of year. It’s cold, it’s dark and it seems like nothing will grow — at least until spring.

But as long as you take precautions during the fall, winter won’t be so bad. Here are some tips on how to prepare your home for winter:

Make sure you have plenty of water available. Water freezes faster than you think it will, so if you don’t have enough, you might find yourself stuck without any drinking water.

Make sure your pipes aren’t exposed to the elements by covering them with insulation or wrapping them in plastic wrap. You can also use heat tape to keep them warm inside walls or under sinks — just make sure that it’s turned off when not needed (or someone might get burned).

If your pipes do freeze, turn off the water supply and then thaw them out slowly by running warm water through them. If that doesn’t work, call an expert plumber to help get things back to normal as soon as possible

The cold season is approaching, and you need to prepare your home for the winter. Winter is a time when we stay indoors, so we have to make sure that our homes are warm and cozy. The following are some tips to help you prepare your home for the cold season:

Install insulation in your attic
Seal any cracks or leaks in windows or doors with caulk or weather stripping
Make sure your furnace is working properly before it gets too cold out there
Clean out your dryer vent regularly so it doesn’t back up during use
Have an annual heating tune-up performed on your furnace by a professional
