Did you just buy a new home in Denver? Did you move to a new townhouse or condo in Colorado? When you move to a new place, there are so many things you have to take care of: setting up new utilities, finding new resources for yard maintenance, home repairs, babysitters, dog walkers and more. One thing that is often overlooking is what you need to do to get your new home in Colorado ready for winter. The moving experts at Cowboy Moving & Storage put together this list of tips for getting your home winter-ready. After all, winter is just around the corner!
1. Get your chimney inspected and cleaned. This is especially important if you have moved into a place more than five years old.
Arrange for a professional to check and clean your chimney. They need to remove dust, and soot, check for blockages or animal nests and make recommendations for repairs.
2. Install storm windows. If you have moved into an older home, storm windows are pretty common. They can help reduce condensation, provide insulation and reduce frost buildup. If you have energy-efficient windows, storm windows aren’t necessary
3. Inspect your yard. Are there any trees with limbs that are too close to your home? You want to trim them before winter hits, to eliminate any chance of limps or trees falling onto your home or property.
4. Get a tune-up for your HVAC. Before winter arrives, you want to make sure your heater is in good working order. An HVAC professional will look for ductwork leaks, clean moving parts and remove dirt and dust that can cause problems.
5. Winterize your plumbing. You want to make sure your home doesn’t have any leaks. It’s also wise to wrap pipes that are not frequently used. You can also consider draining your water heater and doing preventative maintenance on your plumbing. The last thing you want is a cold shower in the winter!
