December Home Maintenance

5 December home maintenance tips:

1. Inspect attic insulation. If it’s level with or below your joists, you may need to add more.
2. Clean your chimney and fireplace. If you have gas logs, compressed air clears away dust and soot.
3. Check for drafts around exterior doors and replace weatherstripping or use a physical barrier if needed. 
4. Put a few indoor and outdoor lights on timers. Added security and one less thing you have to remember. 
5. Consider a security or doorbell camera. The holidays are rife with porch pirates. Plus, you can usually score a good deal this time of year.
