Winter is approaching quickly, and with that being said, you'll need to invest in some maintenance around your home in order to keep it in good condition. We have Scott Surette with Premium Inspections to give us some useful advice.
First of all, you need to disconnect your hoses and faucets. You don't want your pipes to freeze, so do this maintenance now to avoid a heavy loss later on.
Inspecting your gutters is also very important. You want them clean and clear of debris because if they're clogged this will cause water to get into your basement and this could cause major issues with your foundation. If your gutters are clear, the water can be pushed away from your foundation when the snow melts in the spring. You simply want to ensure that the water gets carried away from your home.
A very easy thing to do is to change your furnace filters. Dirty filters restrict airflow and this can cause damage to your furnace as well as your air vents. It's an easy thing to do, and it could save you a lot of money down the road. Preventative maintenance always pays off.
It's also a good idea to get someone to come and check on your fireplace and your chimney if you're going to be burning wood in it this winter. While you're at it, get your smoke alarms tested and replace those batteries if necessary.
Please don't hesitate to call Scott if you have any questions or concerns about winterizing your home.
