Winter Home Maintenance

Check windows and doors for drafts and install

weather stripping, if needed.

Plumbing located near exterior walls can freeze. Check that there is

proper insulation around pipes.

Replace summer screens with storm doors and windows.

Secure dryer vents and air intakes to prevent animals from entering

your home for warmth.

Clear debris from gutter downspouts and make sure water is

directed away from your home’s foundation.

Replace furnace and humidifier filters to ensure efficient and

clean operation.

Drain/store garden hoses. Shut off exterior water spigots.

Check attic for proper air ventilation and insulation. Clear outdoor

vents of debris and/or insulation.

Add more insulation in your attic, if needed, to reduce heating bills.

Install a programmable thermostat. Save money

by turning down temperature at night

and while you are away.
