How do I maintain my home during holiday season?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Test holiday lights and decorations before installing them and replace any damaged wiring. Keep your thermostat at a consistent temperature if you travel. Check that your heating system is working efficiently for gatherings. Clean gutters of late-fall debris. Inspect smoke detectors more frequently with increased cooking and fireplace use.
Why It Matters
The holiday season brings increased activity and potential hazards. Simple maintenance keeps your home safe and welcoming through the festivities.
