Winter Projects

With winter approaching fast, now is the time to finish up those outdoor projects and move inside. Get the leaves raked, winterize the crawl space, and put the air conditioner in storage. Put fresh filters in the furnace and make sure it works properly. Check the duct work for leaks as this is a big source of heat loss. If your furnace is over 8 years old, now may be the time to update to a new energy efficient model.

Not only will you save money on energy bills, you will feel warmer as your furnace will heat more efficiently.

Winter is fast approaching and this year could be cold and snowy. Now is a good time to prepare your driveway to protect it from the elements. Blacktop driveway sealer and filler will fill cracks as well as seal the asphalt with an outer coating. This is a project than can be dome by most home owners and can be completed in a weekend. The driveway first needs to be cleaned of all debris. Applying the sealer needs to be done on a calm day so the wind does not blow leaves and other debris into the sealer.

Insulation

With cold weather just around the corner, now is a great time to add insulation in your attic. This is easy to do and will save money on your energy bills as well as keeping your furnace off more, which in turn will make it last longer. You should also check for drafts around windows, doors, and electrical outlets. Adding a supplemental electric heater will allow you to keep your thermostat at a lower setting. Programmable thermostats are east to install and are great energy savers. Come in today and get your house ready for winter.
