November Home Maintenance Must-Do: Get Your Home Winter-Ready!

With temperatures dropping and the holidays approaching, November is the perfect time to winterize your home. Taking a few key steps now can help you stay warm, lower energy bills, and prevent costly repairs when the cold really sets in.

Winterizing Essentials for November

✅ Reverse Your Ceiling Fans – Switch your ceiling fans to rotate clockwise at a low speed. This helps push warm air down, improving heating efficiency.

✅ Check & Insulate Pipes – Frozen pipes can lead to expensive damage. Insulate exposed pipes in basements, attics, and crawl spaces to prevent freezing.

✅ Seal Drafts Around Windows & Doors – Cold air sneaking in? Apply weatherstripping or caulk around windows and doors to keep your home cozy and energy-efficient.

✅ Service Your Fireplace & Chimney – If you plan to use your fireplace, schedule a chimney cleaning to remove creosote buildup and reduce fire hazards.

✅ Stock Up on Winter Essentials – Make sure you have snow shovels, ice melt, and emergency supplies ready before the first big freeze.
