CLEAN THE GUTTERS

GET A SMART THERMOSTAT

INSULATE & SEAL ATTIC

It is important to keep your gutters clean as the leaves fall this month. We never truly know when the snow will begin to fall so its important to keep them clean and inspect for any damages before its too late!

Upgrading to a smart thermostat will automatically adjust the temperature of your home while you’re at work or asleep – saving you money & the hassle.

TIP: “Nest” was the most popular smart thermostat last year.

Attic leaks are the most common & are costly to your energy bills. Insulation helps lower these bills while also having the highest return on investment & it helps prevent ice dams.
