Seasonal Maintenance

It's getting to be that time of year again where we need to be concerned about Winter maintenance. It's always a good idea, whether you own a new home, or a well seasoned home that you familiarize yourself with some seasonal maintenance basics.

• Remember to disconnect all exterior hoses to prevent pipe bursts due to frozen water.
• Now is a great time to change your furnace filter.
• Check the batteries in all smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.
• Check your downspouts to make sure that they are clear of debris and will be able to properly direct water away from your foundation.
• Familiarize responsible family members with the gas main valve and other appliance valves.
• Clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct, damper and space under the dryer.
• Make sure all electrical holiday decorations have tight connections.

As always, if you have any questions regarding general maintenance, please feel free to give us a call.
