Is your home winter-ready? Discover tips on making your home cozy and energy-efficient during the colder months.
??Insulate Windows and Doors: Ensure your windows and doors are properly sealed to prevent drafts. Consider adding weather stripping and using draft stoppers to keep the cold air out.
Check Heating Systems: Schedule a professional inspection of your heating systems. Clean or replace filters, and make sure your furnace or heat pump is in top working condition.
Install a Programmable Thermostat: Save on energy costs by installing a programmable thermostat. Set it to lower temperatures when you're away and warmer when you're at home.
Seal Gaps and Cracks: Inspect your home for any gaps or cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings. Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal these openings and prevent heat loss.
Prepare Pipes for Freezing Temperatures: Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and potential bursts. Allow faucets to drip slowly during extremely cold nights to keep water flowing.
Clear Gutters and Downspouts: Remove leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage. This prevents ice dams from forming, which can lead to roof damage.
Winterize the Lawn and Garden: Trim overgrown branches and cover outdoor plants to protect them from heavy snow. Store outdoor furniture in a protected area to prevent damage.
Check Fireplace and Chimney: Have your fireplace and chimney inspected and cleaned. Ensure the damper is working correctly to prevent cold air from entering when not in use.
Stock up on Winter Essentials: Have an emergency kit ready with essentials like extra blankets, flashlights, batteries, and non-perishable food items in case of power outages.
Check Insulation in Attic and Basement: Make sure your attic and basement are well-insulated. Proper insulation helps regulate indoor temperatures and reduces energy consumption.
Winterize Outdoor Faucets: Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. Install frost-free outdoor faucets or use insulated faucet covers to protect against freezing.
Have the Roof Inspected: Ensure your roof is in good condition. Repair any missing or damaged shingles to prevent leaks. Snow accumulation can add weight, so a sturdy roof is crucial.
Remember, winterizing your home not only helps you stay warm but can also save on energy costs. These tips will contribute to a cozy and energy-efficient home during the winter months in New England.
