Before snuggling up for those cozy nights by the fire, tackling a list of winter projects will ensure your home is protected from the cold temperatures coming your way this season.

Here’s a list of to-dos and tips to get you started.

  • Wrap your pipes to insulate them against the cold and to prevent them from freezing, which could be very costly to fix.
  • If there’s a winter storm on the horizon in your climate, keep a supply of flashlights and batteries handy. Stock up on firewood (and generator fuel, if needed) as well.
  • If your home uses a furnace, clean out your air filters and heating ducts, making replacements as needed.
  • Reversing your ceiling fan blades to spin clockwise will create a slight updraft, which forces the warm air near the ceiling downward.

We hope these tips help you to feel safe as you hunker down and cozy up this winter at home. For any questions about local market conditions, or for help planning a home sale or purchase, reach out anytime.
