Don’t Forget About these Winter Checklist Items when Completing Your Seasonal Chores

It’s the time of the year when the temperatures change and homeowners across the country are now tasked with ensuring their property offers a warm space away from the winter’s chill outside.

Our Woodland, CA team has many years’ experience in the home heating and maintenance marketplace, and in this latest post, we’ll take a look at the winter checklist to complete in order to safeguard your home and family this winter season.

Check Insulation and Ventilation

Your home’s insulation should be in peak condition ready for the wintertime. This is the part of the home that will help prevent warm air from escaping and allowing cool air inside.

You should also make sure that your ventilation system is performing effectively.

Ventilation systems can help keep clean air circulating throughout the home and prevent bacteria and other forms of contamination from spreading throughout the property. Work with your local home HVAC company to ensure the ventilation system is in efficient working order.

Check the Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detector

With the increased need to cook in the home and to ensure the home is warmed by the fireplace, you’ll be relying on the home smoke and carbon monoxide detector to keep you safe.

Make sure that you test the batteries in the detectors before the winter season begins. Another important consideration is safety equipment in the home.

Make sure all elements of the property are designed to help you quickly escape readily for a potential issue with smoke or fire in the property. This involves checking alarms and working with your local fire department to ensure the system is working as required.
