Make sure your home is ready for the winter

A snow day in South Carolina is like this.

Have your heating system inspected. For a small fee, you can hire a technician to inspect your heat pump or furnace to make sure it's ready for the winter.

 

Before you turn on your fire place, make sure that the chimney and vents are cleaned and any damage is repaired.

 

If your house is prone to icicles, have a professional detect and fix air leaks and insulation issues. This will prevent ice dams, which can cause icicles.

Does your ceiling han have a reverse switch? If so, flip it so that you turn on your heat, your fans will create an updraft to push down warm air from the ceiling.

Make sure your gutters are clean. You can clean them yourself or hire someone to clean them. Be sure to check for damage or missing gutters.

Make sure exterior faucets are empty so that the water doesn't freeze in the pipes. If they freeze, the pipes may burst.

 

Check your roof for damage or decay that may cause leaks.
