Winter-Proof Your Home: Stay Cozy and Save Big!

Winter is right around the corner, and now’s the time to get your home ready for the colder months. Winterizing your home isn’t just about staying warm, it’s about saving money and avoiding those unexpected, costly surprises. Taking care of a few things ahead of time can make all the difference. Discover how we help our homeowners keep their homes prepared no matter the season!

1. Roof Inspection

Your roof is your home’s first shield against winter weather, so it’s crucial to ensure it’s ready to handle the season. We can help inspect for missing or damaged shingles, check for leaks or water damage, and clear out debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent blockages.

A safe roof and gutter setup isn’t just about avoiding costly repairs, it’s also a matter of safety. Proper maintenance can prevent dangerous icicles from forming and reduce the risk of snow sliding off the roof, which can cause injuries. A little prep now can protect both your home, and your family, ensuring a safer and stress-free winter.

2. Heating System Maintenance

Nobody wants to deal with a heating problem when it’s freezing outside, especially when repair services are overwhelmed with calls. Once the first cold sets in, countless homeowners will be lining up to get their heaters fixed, don’t be one of them. By scheduling preemptive maintenance now, you can avoid the rush and ensure your system is ready when you need it most.

At Belong that's what we are all about, we help keep your system running smoothly by replacing air filters, cleaning ducts, and even discussing programmable thermostats to help you save on energy bills while staying cozy. Getting ahead of the crowd means your residents will enjoy a worry-free winter with a heating system that’s ready to perform.

3. Plumbing Check

Frozen pipes are no fun, but the damage they can cause is even worse. When water freezes inside pipes, it expands, which can lead to cracks or even burst pipes. The resulting water damage can be extensive, affecting walls, flooring, and belongings, and repairs can be costly and time-consuming.

Luckily, frozen pipes are easy to avoid with a little prep. We can help:

• Insulate exposed pipes
• Drain outdoor faucets
• Check for leaks
• Ensure everything is in top shape before temperatures drop

A little attention now can save you a lot of hassle and prevent serious damage down the road.

4. Window and Door Sealing

Did you know that small gaps around windows and doors can let all that cozy warmth escape? These tiny leaks force your heater to work harder, driving up your energy bills. We can help seal up cracks and apply weather-stripping and caulking to help your home stay toasty and energy-efficient, without the need for expensive replacements.

If your windows are newer, you may even have warranty coverage that allows for leaky seals to be repaired or replaced at no cost. Identifying these issues now ensures you can take advantage of such coverage while keeping your home warm and your energy bills low.
