How do I winterize my home?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Seal drafts around windows and doors with weatherstripping and caulk. Have your heating system serviced. Insulate exposed pipes in basements and crawl spaces. Reverse ceiling fans to push warm air down. Clean gutters and check for ice dam prevention. Stock up on winter supplies.
Why It Matters
Winterizing reduces heating costs, prevents frozen pipes, and protects your home from cold-weather damage. It pays for itself in energy savings.
