Your guide to getting your home for the holiday season is right here on this week’s blog! Whether you’ve already completed these tasks or not, we want to help ensure that you and your family have a safe and happy holiday season! So let’s get started on your holiday preparations. 

Clean out your heating system 

• We’re sure by now your heating system has been working hard to keep you and your family warm. It’s also important to have a professional clean out your heating unit to ensure that it is functioning properly. Also, do not store any items in front, near, or around your heating unit. 

Check up on your water heater 

• Like your heating system, we’re sure you are going to use your water heater this holiday season and it’s important to make sure everything is in proper working condition. Plus, these need to be drained periodically. 

Feel for those cool drafts 

• Even the smallest of drafts can bring a shiver to you during the winter months. It’s important to make sure all exterior doors, windows, and other openings are totally sealed. Even think about investing in door cushions that are placed at the bottom of the door to keep cool air from coming into your home. 

Clean your fireplace 

• While temperatures will be dropping, you’ll be firing up that fireplace and it’s very important to have a professional clean out your fireplace and chimney. A dirty chimney and fireplace can lead to issues that can be disastrous. 

Check on your roofing 

• Unless you previously know you have a leaky roof, it’s time to ensure that your roof is in proper working condition. We encourage hiring a professional to come take a look and take care of any issues you may have. 

Put seasonal items away for the winter 

• While getting ready for the holidays, it’s time to put all of your pool floats, lawn furniture and more away for the season. (Hopefully, you’ve already done this but if not, do so before the winter really takes over your yard)
