Winter Home Maintenance Schedule

Winter is a season of extremes. If you live in a part of the US that gets cold, the season can be very harsh on your home; in warmer climates, strong winds can also do major damage this time of year. So it's important to be prepared.

  • Change the air filter in your HVAC system.

  • Take the time to organize closets and drawers, and donate any unwanted goods.

  • Activate your septic pump by dumping water in the basin.

  • Wipe down windows and windowsills, as well as baseboards and doors.

  • Touch up peeling paint, where necessary, and recaulk sinks and tubs.
