Winter Home Maintenance Tips!

Drains:

• Drains, Inlets & Catch Basins: Important to routinely inspect for blockages.

Gutters and Downspouts:

• Check and clear gutters of all debris every six months and after thunderstorms.

AC/Furnace:

• Check HVAC System and thermostat batteries. We recommend an inspection by a heating professional each season.

Front and Exterior Doors:

• Inspect the weather stripping to maintain a tight air seal.

• Reset clock for end of daylight savings time on November 4 and after any power failures. Adjust to a winter schedule following per week Water Guidelines of Turf Areas- .75 – 1.0 inches and Shrub Areas- .50 – .75 inches.
