How to Prepare Your Home for Fall and Winter

Welcome back! Summer is over and the weather is quickly cooling off. You need to prepare your home for those cold, winter days. I have three things to do to prepare your home for the holiday season.

1.    Check your plumbing. One of the most costly mistakes homeowners make is not checking their plumbing. Water can freeze in the pipes and cause a burst. Come to Lowe’s and buy some insulation to put around each pipe.  Also turn off the water to the outside and buy a cover to put over the spicket.

2.    Check your chimney and fireplace. Hire a qualified contractor to make sure there aren’t any blockages that may cause a fire.

3.    Check your furnace. Hire a qualified contractor to check your furnace prior to the first time you use it. You should also change the air filter every 30 days!

These are the top three tips to help you prepare your home for the holiday season and can save you a lot of money. If you have any questions or would like to know how to get 10 percent off at Lowe’s, please give me a call!

Thanks for watching!
