The benefits of owning a home instead of renting offer buyers several advantages. It’s also a feel-good milestone that offers a sense of pride and accomplishment. Since this is a big deal, we know that keeping your home ready for the winter each year is crucial for you and your family members. Our experienced technicians at Washington Court House Heating & Cooling came up with helpful tools and tips to winterize your home this year.
- Disconnect Garden Hoses- We may not think keeping your garden hose connected can damage anything, but unfortunately, it can. Once the temperatures hit freezing, it is good to disconnect any hoses you have.
- Caulk windows and Doors- It is recommended to caulk windows and doors since air can get in depending on the type of window you have. If you find any cracks, gaps, or openings, we suggest using a high-quality sealing material.
- Check The Radiators- You may think that you can get away with not checking your radiator; however, we are here to tell you that debris can get stuck and cause your system not to work as efficiently as it should.
- Lower The Thermostat- There are many hacks for your thermostat these days. Stores have different systems that can keep your thermostat to a certain degree based on your home. So lowering your thermostat will save you money, so our experts suggest checking into newer systems.
- Check your fireplace- One of the most common and most important places to winterize is your fireplace. This is because you wouldn’t want your house catching fire. Before using your fireplace for the first time this winter season, look for debris or anything that doesn’t belong inside your fireplace to ensure your safety.
