Prepping Your Home for Colder Weather

Winter is a gorgeous time of year in Newark, NJ, and there are a lot of things that come along with that. For many, winter is a time to venture into the city and enjoy all of the colder climate activities. However, there are also some things you should do to prep your home for the colder weather. Before fall slips away, use these tips from E.S.T.I.R. Inc. to prep your home.

• Clean out your gutters. In the fall, the leaves will start to fall and some of them will end up in your gutters. While the changing fall colors are beautiful, they are not so wonderful when they are clogging up your gutters. Before the first snow falls, you should make sure these are cleaned out.
• Get your heater examined. You likely haven’t thought about using your heater since last winter. Before you try to use it, you should get it looked at by a professional. Getting regular maintenance on your heater is important and fall is a great time to get it done. Plus, it is always good to catch a problem before you need to use the heater. Additionally, this time of year is a great time to also change your filters in the home to ensure your heater is able to work optimally.
• Get home insurance. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is not having home insurance in place for their home. It is definitely something that can help in a variety of ways and we recommend it for every homeowner. You should protect your investment with home insurance all year long and if you do not have it now, it is time to explore some of your options.
