With the winter season approaching here's a few maintenance tips to protect your home...

Have a professional HVAC contractor inspect your furnace before you start heating your home for winter

Disconnect, remove and drain outdoor hoses and store them indoors

Trim any tree branches that could damage your home if they fall

When bitter cold temperatures arrive allow your faucets to drip lukewarm water about one drip per second. In addition open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warmer air to circulate around plumbing

Clean gutters thoroughly by removing debris and unclogging drains

Ensure downspouts direct water away from your home's foundation

Test all smoke detectors, fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are functioning properly

Have your fireplace inspected and cleaned to remove buildup and ensure it is safe to use

By following these tips, you can help safeguard your home against winter hazards and ensure you stay safe and comfortable.
