Winter is the time of the year that tends to take the most significant toll on your Cincinnati house. Freezing temperatures, snow, sleet and ice will undoubtedly test your home’s protection and performance. As the area’s premier window replacement company, we took it upon ourselves to make a winter preparation checklist for you so you can ensure you’re adequately protected before winter arrives.
No other season doles out as much punishment on your roof as winter. Before winter arrives, check your roof’s condition to be sure there are no issues that could compromise it. Take advantage of whatever fair weather is left to replace damaged or missing shingles and clean out your gutters as well.
Windows are the top entry points of cold air. This can spell trouble during particularly harsh winter conditions. Replacement windows should be properly insulated and ready to protect your home against air leaks that could cause your heating bills to skyrocket. Reduce drafts with ample weatherstripping before winter rears its ugly head.
Just as with windows, your doors are also entry points for cold air. Inspect them (or better yet, ask a trusted professional to inspect them) for insulation issues. Poorly insulated patio doors create an energy drain that forces your HVAC system to work overtime, leading to soaring heating bills.
