Seasonal Maintenance such as cleaning, replace the air filter, and be sure all vents are clear of obstacles. Many homeowners receive a free annual check-up with their gas/oil delivery company.
2. Air Conditioner
Clear your outside unit of debris and use a waterproof cover.
3. Fireplace Maintenance
It is extremely important to have your chimney cleaned and inspected ( this depends on how often you use your fireplace) Most professional chimney cleaners recommend a minimum cleaning of once a year. If you burn fires often, this need increases more frequently for safety.
4. Roof
Be sure your gutters and drain spouts are all free of fall leaves and debris.
This is not a project you want to undertake when there are 6 inches of white stuff sitting up there!
5. Insulation!!
- Have your crawl space and attic checked to see if you have enough insulation. This is dependent on the R-value and geographical location of your home. (Good idea...ask a trusted professional)
Or for the DIY guy check out this website for more info.
- Be sure to insulate around all doors and windows.
A well reviewed product is Rope Caulk ( I know...I had to look it up too ) ... anyway... It is said to be much easier to use then traditional caulk!
