Winter is almost upon us and we wanted to share 5 simple and easy ways to winterize your home this season. If these tips were helpful, please make sure to like this video and subscribe to our channel before you leave.
1. Clean your gutters. Clear out fallen leaves, sticks, and other debris to allow for snow melt to drain properly to avoid sludge clogging up your gutters.
2. Keep out the cold from your windows and power outlets. Apply caulk to the cracks and seams of your windows and use foam outlet inserts to keep the cold out in poorly insulated walls.
3. Add weather stripping to door frames and door sweeps. The cold can easily get in through large gaps and exterior doors are usually one of the biggest culprits. Cut weather stripping to size to fit in the cracks of your doors and get a door draft stopper for underneath to keep your home nice and warm.
4. Pick up some ice melt to keep porches, walkways, and driveways clear of any trip and fall hazards. Along with clearing hazards, make sure to have a snow shovel handy. Don’t forget an ice scraper and rubbing alcohol/water solution for quick melting of your vehicle windshields on the go.
5. Maintain your heat to at least 65 degrees or higher and ensure that your home is well insulated to keep the heat in and the cold out.
