Winter Home Maintenance Tasks Made Easy

Winter is just around the corner. Is your house winter-ready from freezing temperatures, ice, sleet, hail, snow, and strong winds? Because your house matters, here are some winter home maintenance tasks you can check to make your house winter-proof:

Winter Home Maintenance Tips

1. Check your heating system. Your furnace should be inspected by a professional yearly, especially during the first significant snowfall. A professional may do maintenance as a preventive step and check for safety issues.
2. Make sure to schedule a chimney clean up. Regular cleaning is necessary for a fireplace to work correctly. You may genuinely unwind with a cup of hot chocolate next to your fireplace if you plan and schedule an inspection and cleaning.
3. Stock up some emergency supplies. Be sure to stock up on water, blankets, canned goods, and non-perishable meals. It’s a good idea to keep many different chopped wood and fire starters on hand if you have a fireplace that burns wood so you can stay warm if the power goes out.
4. Check if there’s a heat escaping your house. Your home’s hot air may escape due to inadequate weatherstripping around windows, gaps beneath doors, or inadequate insulation around pipes. Check these areas out before the start of the winter season. 
5. Clean your gutters out. Your gutters might be clogged with leaves and other debris if any trees are close to your home. A lot of trash often falls during a windstorm, even from trees that don’t lose their leaves every year. Using a tiny rake is the most straightforward approach to removing leaves from your gutter.
