Seal Air Leaks Prevent drafts and save on energy costs by sealing gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other openings. Use weatherstripping, caulk, or foam to keep the cold air out and the warmth in, ensuring a cozier and more energy-efficient home this winter. Trim Trees and Remove Dead Branches Prevent winter storms from damaging your home by trimming overhanging branches and removing any that are dead or weak. Check local government or landscaping resources for tree care advice. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Winter brings a greater reliance on heating systems, so it's vital to make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly. Websites like the Red Cross or local fire departments often provide guidelines on testing and maintaining these important safety devices.
Clean and Inspect Your Chimney If you have a fireplace, make sure the chimney is cleaned and inspected for blockages or creosote buildup. This is a fire hazard if not addressed and will ensure your fireplace is working safely. Reverse Ceiling Fans for Winter In the winter, set your ceiling fans to rotate clockwise at a low speed. This helps push warm air down from the ceiling, making your home feel warmer and more energy-efficient. You can find instructions on how to adjust the direction of ceiling fans on various home improvement websites or blog posts.
