Your Winter Maintenance Check List

Huff ‘N Puff, the trusted provider of windows and gutters in Albany, NY, is here to help you plan your home maintenance this winter. Check out these tips:

1. Install weatherstripping in windows. Protect your home from extreme cold by installing weatherstripping in your windows. This will prevent air leaks, making your home feel warmer and cozier. This will also improve your home’s energy-efficiency. In addition, check for damaged or missing caulk around your windows. Seal gaps and holes with a suitable caulk. Better yet, consult Huff ‘N Puff first.

2. Add window treatments. Apart from applying proper weatherstripping to windows, you may consider hanging extra curtains, like thermal curtains, and blinds to help improve insulation. Open these on sunny days to let the warm air in; close these tightly at night to prevent cold air from entering.

3. Protect your gutters and roof. Keep your home free from damage and leakages by making sure that your roof’s drainage system is in good shape. This will maintain the smooth flow of water from your roof. Clogged gutters can cause huge damages to your exterior surfaces. Make sure that your gutter in Albany, NY is clean and functional with the help of Huff ‘N Puff.

Now is the perfect time to perform these tasks in preparation for the coming winter. While you can do most of these alone, it’s worth the expense to trust your home maintenance to the experts.
