During this season of faith and family, I hope the true meaning of the season fills you with joy. May you be able to take some time to slow down and enjoy the simple things this wonderful holiday has to offer. From my family to yours, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy,
Before winter sets in, this is the perfect time to take care of the little things that can make a big difference for you and your home. Most of the tasks listed below are well within the average person’s ability. But even if you choose to have a professional handle them, it’s worth the expense. You’ll save money---and maybe even your life. Get your mind in the gutters. Inspect and clean gutters and downspouts. Button up your overcoat. Seal gaps and cracks around windows and doors with weather stripping and caulk. Walk the walks (and drives). Take steps to repair damaged sidewalks, driveways, and steps. Chill out. Drain and winterize outdoor faucets and irrigation systems. Freshen your filter. Clean or replace dirty furnace filters. Give your furnace a physical. Have a professional inspect your heating sytem. Consider a (H.I.P.) Heating Insurance Plan. Gather round the hearth. Check fireplaces for soot or creosote build-up. Better yet, schedule a visit from a reputable chimney sweep. Keep the humidifier humming. Clean the plates or pads to ensure efficient operation. Head-off gas problems. If you have a gas fireplace or room heater, light up the pilot and fire it up. Schedule a servicing if needed. Keep the wood fires burning brightly. Wood stoves are making a comeback. Be sure to inspect your before firing it up. Keep your family safe at home. A home safety check should be an annual ritual in every household. Test smoke and CO monitors, inspect (or install) fire extinguishers, review fire escape plans, and rid your home of old newspapers and other fire hazards.
Warmly, Evelyn Lacerda, SALESPERSON
