Maintaining your home adds to the value of your house. This fall, remember to:
- Test your furnace before it turns cold! Book an appointment to have it cleaned and safety-checked
- If you heat your home with wood, schedule a chimney clean
- Ensure your fireplace is clean, there are no cracks and that your damper opens and shuts smoothly and tightly
- Service/clean your snow blower and stalk up on gas!
- Clean and re-affix your storm windows
- Repair threshold seals
- Apply weather stripping to old windows, doors, outlets
- Turn off your outside water supply to prevent freezing pipes
- Clear eaves troughs of fallen leaves
- Store patio furniture and outdoor planters safely in a shed or garage
- Protect fragile cedars/trees from winter winds with burlap
