PREPPING YOUR HOME FOR THE WINTER
As it starts to cool down, JSP Toolbox is here to help your association get ready for the winter. Starting early & taking time out of your day to stay one step ahead makes this job easy. Follow a few of these tips to get on track to securing your home for the colder months!
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. |
