5 Ways to Winterize Your Home
Today marks the first official day of winter and whether you're planning to head south to escape the cold or stay put for the season, we've put together a list of five ways to winterize your home.
Insulate Pipes
A pipe that bursts can lead to major problems for a homeowner. Insulating pipes that are exposed to cold air can add a layer of protection and prevent them from freezing.
Clean the Gutters
A build-up of debris can lead to roof and interior home damage if not addressed. Routinely clean your gutters to avoid these problems.
Test Your Detectors
According to the US Fire Administration, half of all home heating fires occur in December, January, and February. Replace batteries and test your detectors to make sure they're working properly.
Caulk Cracks
Take a good look at the exterior of your home. If there are any holes or cracks, be sure to fill them with an expanding-foam sealant or acrylic-latex caulk to close the openings.
Replace Weather Strips
Inspect the weather stripping on all exterior doors. Rips and tears can cause air leaks which can lead to an increase in your energy bills.
