Winter Home Maintenance Tips

Winter Home Maintenance Tips

November 14, 2019

Winter is upon us. Whether that means snow, frigid temperatures, or the start of the rainy season, your home could use some prep to ensure it — and you — make it through comfy and cozy.

6 Winter Home Maintenance Tips

1. Weatherstripping

Keep out the cold and wet with new seals on doors and windows, as the summer heat can cause the old ones to crack and pull away from the frames.

2. Insulate

Did you know you can squirt foam insulation behind light switch and outlet covers? Every little bit helps!

3. Thermostat

A programmable one that will adjust to your schedule is ideal, but if you’re not ready for one of those, then set the temperature to 68 degrees — the most energy-efficient number — and forget it.

4. Humidifier

Heaters dry out your skin and nasal passages, leaving you prone to itchiness and colds. Plus, wet air is warmer air. (Really.)

5. Water Heater

Your water heater should be wrapped in an insulated blanket so it doesn’t have to work so hard, which will save money for you over the season.

6. Sunshine

Open the blinds and curtains and let the sun in! Nature’s furnace will help warm up your home at no cost.

Winter is the perfect time to plan your next move! Whether you’re thinking of moving into a new home or refinancing your existing property, connect with a local GMFS Mortgage Loan Officer to discuss all the options available to you.
