Winter
Winter is usually the time to hunker down. Ensure your home is ideal for getting cozy by tackling to-dos you’ve put aside during summer and fall. Anticipate how harsh weather will impact your home.
Start with:
- Winterizing your grounds by
- making sure the snow blower is working
- stocking up on supplies like ice melt and shovels
- looking for signs of potential ice dams
- Batten up the inside of your home by
- putting a new filter on the heating system
- inspecting pipes
- having a backup generator
- stocking supplies
Throughout the year, check stocks of batteries and light bulbs. Give rugs and furniture a good vacuum and do periodic checks for mold and insects. Each year, refer to this home maintenance list.
