Prep Your Home For The Holidays With Our Tips | Granville, NY

‘Tis the season to prepare your home for the holidays! This week we are helping you get your home ready for all that’s to come this upcoming month. And when you’re done getting your home ready, come on in to see our team at Zappone and let us help you get rid of that old ride and get into something a little healthier and ready to take on the winter weather! Let’s get started! 

Put seasonal items away for the winter 

• While getting ready the holidays, it’s time to put all of your pool floats, lawn furniture and more away for the season. (Hopefully, you’ve already done this but if not, do so before the winter really takes over your yard) 

Clean your fireplace 

• While temperatures will be dropping, you’ll be firing up that fireplace and it’s very important to have a professional clean out your fireplace and chimney. A dirty chimney and fireplace can lead to issues that can be disastrous. 

Storm windows make a comeback

• Storm windows can really help keep the heat in your home during those chilly winter days. If you have them, be sure to pull them down and they are working properly. 

Clean our your heating system 

• We’re sure by now your heating system has been working hard to keep you and your family warm. It’s also important to have a professional clean out your heating unit to ensure that it is functioning properly. Also, do not store any items in front, near, or around your heating unit. 

Feel for those cool drafts 

• Even the smallest of drafts can bring a shiver to you during the winter months. It’s important to make sure all exterior doors, windows, and other openings are totally sealed. Even think about investing in door cushions that are placed at the bottom of the door to keep cool air from coming into your home.
