Home Window Replacement in Minnetonka MN | Tips to safeguard your home in the winter
To be all set for the winters, let us begin with some tips for your home to best handle the weather and keep you and your family warm and safe. Ensure proper insulation to keep the cold out of your cozy home.
- Check all the downspouts and clear all debris from the gutter and drainage to shield it from any damage caused by moisture or water.
- Do you have any hoses, faucets or water devices in your outdoor lawn or yard? Ensure that you blow out sprinklers and drain out all the water in pipes before it freezes.
- Safeguard your windows and doors from air leaks. This is perhaps the most effective way to keep your Minnetonka MN home warm in the winters, without driving up your electricity bills. Check your attic and basement to make sure that warm air doesn’t escape. Spray foam insulation is a good way to fix any insulation issues you might have in your basement and attic.
- When was the last time you had your heating equipment looked at? It might be a good idea to get a professional inspection of your furnace; you certainly don’t want it breaking down during holiday season!
