As winter approaches, what should you be checking for, in and around the house?
As temperatures begin to drop, home owners start to turn their attention to preparing their homes for the upcoming winter.
Some helpful fall maintenance tips:
•Check and replace furnace filters, and clean the humidifier system, if applicable.
•If your home is heated with a wood stove, or wood burning fireplace, ensure your chimney is regularly cleaned and inpected to prevent creosote buildup.
•Check that all carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are in working order and can easily be heard from any floor of the house.
•Check eavestroughs and clear of fallen leaves.
Remember- taking some time to prepare your home for the season can not only save time and cost in the future, but ensure safety for you and your family.
