How-To Winterize Your Home

Wednesday, December 05, 2012

Winterize Your Home

Stay Out of The Cold

Winter has just begun.  And though we may live here in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the temperature still gets a bit cold, and we all can therefore benefit from winterizing our homes.  Not only can you make your home more comfortable for you and your family, but you can also save money on your electricity and gas bills this season.  Here’s how according to Christopher Solomon of MSN Real Estate.

  1. Clean Your Gutters
  2. Block Any Leaks
  3. Insulate Your Home
  4. Check Your Furnace
  5. Check Your Vents & Air Ducts
  6. Upgrade Your Windows
  7. Check Your Chimney
  8. Reverse Fans
  9. Wrap Your Pipes
  10. Check Smoke Alarms

In addition, don’t forget to visit stores such as your local Target for special holiday pricing on useful items such as window sealing kits, and door draft seals.  Don’t become left out in the cold this winter.  Instead be comfortable in your home, save money, and enjoy the holidays with your family and friends.
