Easy Ways to Winterize Your Home

When the weather begins to get cold in Rochester in the fall, this is a sign that winter is coming quickly. Ahead of those blowing cold winds, there are some easy ways to winterize your home. You might also want to jazz up your home for the winter holidays. If so, contact a business that specializes in interior painting.

Getting your home ready for winter makes your place more energy efficient, so you and your loved ones can be toasty and warm without paying pricey energy bills.

It doesn’t take a lot get your home ready for winter. Just a couple of days is all that’s necessary to winterize your house correctly. Below are some suggestions on what you can do to guarantee that you have a secure and warm home this winter.

Get your furnace inspected by an HVAC specialist
Before you cut on your heat for the first time this winter, let an HVAC expert check it and fix any problems. This heating & cooling professional will make sure your furnace is running safely and effectively. Also, you should get your ducts inspected and clean while the expert is at your home.

Prune any trees nearby
If you have any tree limbs near your windows, driveways, or roof, prune them. If not, ice and snow will put extra weight on them and make them snap. For instance, there can be a severe ice storm in Rochester. You have your car parked in your driveway. If a large branch has a vast amount of ice built on it, it will break and smash in the roof of your car. This can all be prevented if you take a precaution and get your tree pruned.

Your A/C in the winter
You’re most likely won’t be using you’re A/C in the wintertime. Even so, you should take steps to protect it, so your unit stays working a long time. All you have to do to winterize you’re A/C is to drain the hoses or pipes. You don’t want them to freeze in the cold temps.

Another thing you want to do is to vacuum out any water you have in the drain pan of your A/C. Lastly, put a cover over your air conditioning unit. This will prevent rusting and keep the snow out of the unit.​
