Winterizing your custom home is a normal part of your maintenance routine.
By early November, the cold really sets in Maryland. The time is coming soon for you to winterize your custom home. Winterizing your custom home is a normal part of your maintenance routine. Check out these tips to make winterizing your home a breeze!
Clean Out the Gutters
Cleaning out the gutters is not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is one of the main ways of winterizing your custom home. Gutters are usually clogged with all types of fall leaves, and debris will eventually result in home flooding. When the water cannot drain correctly, it will slide down by the foundation, and that is something you should avoid.
Inspecting Your Furnace
Next, you should ensure that your furnace is on excellent shape. As part of winterizing your custom home, it would be helpful to inspect your furnace during autumn so you are not left with a sudden cold house during winter. Even so, every single Robin Ford home comes with high-efficiency HVAC appliances that are suitable for your home.
Insulate Your Doors and Windows
You can also expect to enjoy the doors and windows that help create a warm and comfortable household. While you may expect great quality, it remains truthful that windows and doors are where the heat escapes the most. As time passes, make sure that no gaps develop around them and that you insulate them with weather stripping, caulk, and possibly some thermal curtains.
Winterize Your Irrigation System
The landscaping is one other part of your custom home that needs special attention. Winterizing your custom home signifies winterizing the irrigation system that waters your plants. Unfortunately, the pipes can freeze up and crack without eliminating all the water within them. This is the last thing you want to deal with during winter, so make sure to do it as soon as possible.
