Labor Day is a great time to get started on your Winterization Checklist
Happy Labor Day!
As we set into Fall, and the coming Winter – This is a good opportunity to remind you of a few homeownership winterization checklist maintenance items.
Replace Air & Water Filters
It is recommended that Air and Water Filters be replaced every 3 to 6 months, or every quarter.
Clean Gutters & Downspouts
We all know the leaves are coming down! Make sure they don’t stop up your gutters when the rains come.
Check Smoke Alarms & Detectors
This can be a serious safety hazard as fireplaces and furnaces get started up. Be prepared, be aware.
Have the Furnace or Radiator Inspected and Serviced
Don’t get caught without heat! Take steps now to ensure fewer problems later.
Clean & Inspect the Fireplace and Chimney
Soot from last years’ fires can be highly flammable. In addition move firewood to a dry spot away from the home.
Clean the Dryer Vent
You’d be shocked to see what comes out. All that lint is extremely flammable.
Check Windows and Doors for air-tightness
Don’t go thorough all this process only to lose your heat through leaky windows and doors!
Fertilize the Lawn and Perennials
Prepare now for a beautiful lawn and garden come Spring!
