❄️ Winter is coming... Here are some tips to help get your home ready for the cold, saving you time and money: ☑️ Close, drain and insulate your outdoor tap ☑️ Clean the gutters of any leaves, sticks, or debris that could clog them and cause water damage or ice dams ☑️ Check for any leaks, cracks, or gaps around doors or windows that could let cold air in or warm air out ☑️ Set ceiling fan direction to clockwise to push warm air down and circulate it around the room ☑️ Replace or install storm windows or use window insulating kits to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency ☑️ Have your fireplace and chimney inspected and cleaned by a professional ☑️ Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace the batteries if needed ☑️ Replace the air filters in your furnace and have it serviced by a technician to ensure it is working properly and safely ☑️ Trim any branches that are close to your roof or power lines to prevent them from falling and causing damage or power outages during snow or ice storms This may seem like a long list but you'll be glad you did it when the snow settles! #RealEstate #Realtor
