Is your home ready for winter? ⛄️❄️ The winter season will be here before you know it, so make sure you’ve completed all of these maintenance tips around your house. ⤵️
Attic insulation:
This can help improve the airflow throughout your entire home and prevent warm air from escaping to the outside. When choosing proper insulation, be on the lookout for the “R-value” - the higher the R-value, the more energy-efficient.
Prevent Ice dams:
This is when ice forms along the edge of your roof and creates a “dam” that blocks melting snow from properly draining off. That built-up liquid can then seep into your roof shingles and eventually cause leaking inside your home. Proper attic insulation and adding vents to your roof can possibly help prevent these ice dams from forming in the first place.
Seal windows and doors:
This will ensure that no heat is escaping out and no cold air is coming in. An easy way to check if you need to apply more sealing or weatherstripping is by carefully holding a flame up to an area where you detect air transference. If the flame moves it could be an indication that air leakage is occurring.
Prevent house fires:
Winter is the season when most house fires occur. Check your smoke detectors by replacing their batteries and making sure they’re working properly. Prioritize periodic inspections of your chimney and vents as well.
