Hello again,

    It's a good time of year to get your home ready for the upcoming winter. Here are a few things you can do to get ready for Winter. Some of these tips can help you save money and some can help keep you healthy through the cold season. We will start from the outside and work our way in.

1. Check the roof for damaged shingles or other visible roof damage. (Don't want any leaks)

2. Once the leaves have finished falling clean out your gutters. (Helps keep rain from running over the edge of the gutter onto your head)

3. Check all outside windows and doors. (Fill in any cracks or gaps with caulking you can also add window shrink film to help cut down on heating costs by keeping the heat in)

4. Check all hoses and pipes. (If you have pipes that run outside or through the crawl space make sure to put pipe insulation on them. You can also get a insulation roll for your water heater which can cut your heating bill and keep that water hot for those cold days)

5. Dust the house. (Its better to do it before you clean the carpets)

6. Get the carpets cleaned. (During the winter we keep our houses closed more so dust, allergens and germs can accumulate much faster so getting them cleaned can help you stay healthy. Plus it nice to have clean carpets for the holidays when family and friends will be over)  

7. Replace your air filter on your furnace. (If you can afford it go with a higher quality air filter. With the home closed up you really want to filter out all the junk in the air) 

8. Wash your sheets and blankets. (nothing better than crawling into a nice warm clean bed)

9. Install a ionizer to help clean the air. (having a house plant can also create more oxygen in the house)

10. You can also run a humidifier to help keep the air moist and not so dry.  (helps clear a stuffy nose) 

I hope these tips help get you and your home ready for the upcoming winter. 

 

It's the perfect time of year to Get your vehicle ready for the up coming winter. Nobody wants to have car trouble when its cold and snowy out. You can have a few simple things done to your vehicle that can help you and your vehicle make it through winter.

3. Check all exterior lights to make sure they are all working properly. (Helps you see and can help people see you in dense fog, rain or snow)
4. Get your car washed and get a good coat of wax. (Helps rain and snow run off the car and protects your paint from the punishment of winter)
5. Wash the exterior windows and apply rain-ex window spray to the windows. (Helps water and snow bead off the windows greatly improving visibility)
