Five Ways to Winterize Your Home

The colder months are on the way, so winterizing your home is a very smart move to save money and save yourself on energy. 

Here are five tips about how to winterize your house, brought to you by all of us at EH Clean: 

  1. Clean Your Gutters: You've heard it before, but we can't stress this enough. Making sure that water can flow freely through your gutters now will help prevent icicles and ice dams from forming later. Cost: Free
  2. Flush the Water Heater: Particles and sediment can collect over time in the bottom of your water heater, hindering the unit's efficiency. Flush the water through the drain valve to clear out the material and keep your heater functioning at its best. Cost: Free 
  3. Set Up Ceiling Fans Clockwise: Ceiling fans are everyone's favorite summer budget-saver. But they can help out in the winter as well! Have your ceiling fans move in a clockwise direction so they push hot air along the ceiling towards the floor. If they're going counterclockwise, they won't be as effective. Cost: Free if you have a fan.
  4. Replace Filters: Regularly changing the filters in your central air and heating system can significantly improve its efficiency and longevity, while easing the pressure on your wallet. Cost: A new filter runs about $10.
  5. Install Window Insulation Film: It may not be the most fashionable tip, but window insulation film can keep up to 70% of your heat from leaking out of windows. Cost: $20 to $35 per kit.
