Tips for Preparing Your Home for Winterization
The Fuel Company’s winterizing services are an essential part of keeping your home safe over the winter. There are some other important things for you to do before closing up your home.
- Put your outdoor furniture into storage to protect it from the wear and tear of winter weather and to keep it from becoming a projectile in storms. Also, detach garden hoses from spigots and store them indoors. All outdoor spigots should have a protective cover to keep them insulated.
- Don’t leave behind things that can attract bugs and rodents. Do a thorough home cleaning and throw out all perishable foods from your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry. Dispose of them as well as any other trash and recyclables.
- If you notice any drafts in your home, seal them up with caulk, weatherstripping, or expanding foam.
- Have your gutters cleaned to protect them from freezing and bursting.
- Unplug electronics and appliances, including small ones like the coffeemaker and toaster.
- Go around your home with your smartphone just before leaving. Take pictures of all closed windows, locked exterior doors, and unplugged appliances. That way you won’t worry.
