Winter-proofing your home does not have to be complicated or expensive. There are a few simple steps you can take that can make a big difference in keeping your home warm and energy-efficient. Replacing furnace filters, sealing drafty windows and doors, and letting sunlight in during the day are a few ways to stay cozy while protecting your home from winter’s chilly temps. Get your home winter-ready with these practical tips. Plus, check out some of Philadelphia’s local resources to help you along the way.
WINTER-PROOFING TIPS
- Seal drafts: Add weather-stripping around windows and doors to keep the cold air out.
- Check your heating systems: Replace furnace filters and schedule a maintenance visit if needed.
- Let the sunlight in: Open curtains during the day and close them at night for extra warmth.
- Test detectors: Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working properly.
- Prep outdoor areas: Disconnect hoses, shut off water lines and put away outdoor cushions and pillows.
- Clean gutters: Clean debris out of the gutters so melting snow can drain properly and prevent ice dams.
