Winter is right around the corner. It’s time for homeowners to start prepping their home. Prepare your home now to save on your electric bill in a few months.

1. Feel the Heat

Fall is the ideal time to have your heating system checked by a professional. The heater’s air filter should be cleaned and/or replaced before the first frost. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, consider investing in one before winter strikes.

2. Rooftop View

Check out the roof before the snow starts piling on. Inspect for loose or missing shingles and clean out the gutters to prevent blockage and leaks into the home later.

3. Prep the Pipes

Drain water from the water hose and outdoor faucets. Identify any problem pipes that might be prone to freezing and ensure that everyone in the family knows how to turn off the water.

4. Seal It All Up

One of the biggest hits on energy bills in the winter comes from heaters working overtime to warm a home that is under insulated. We will identify any problem areas in your home and offer recommendations on getting things sealed and ready for winter.
