Preparing Your Home for Winter

Temperatures are dropping, leaves are falling, and the change of seasons is upon us. With that change comes steps homeowners need to take to prepare for the chill of winter. Below you will find a list of suggestions we have for homeowners to get you ready for winter weather.

Begin Inside
1. Change Your Furnace Filter & Give your Heating System a Tune-up– dirty filters restrict airflow and increase energy demands on your furnace. Keep your furnace clean, lubricated and properly adjusted. This can help to reduce energy costs by 5%.
2. Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors & Smoke Detectors – check devises that you already have to be sure they are working correctly. If you have not changed batteries now is the time to do so.
3. Replace all Fire Extinguishers Older than 10 years.
4. Check Your Thermostat Setting – for every degree you lower your thermostat you can save between 1-3% off your heating bill. Programmable thermostats make it easy to adjust temperatures in your home throughout the day and night.
5. Reverse Ceiling Fans – the standard rule of thumb is:
  1. Counterclockwise rotation – produces a cool breeze for the summer
  2. Clockwise rotation – brings warm air from the ceiling down for the colder months
6. Turn DOWN Your Water Heater – lowering your hot water heater to 120 degrees (or lower) can reduce your water heating costs by 6-10%.
7. Seal off Drafts – rolled towels or draft “snakes” can help keep rooms warm and reduce wasted energy usage.
8. Insulate Pipes – to prevent pipes from freezing add insulation. This step is easy to do with pre-slit pipe foam that you can purchase at most hardware stores.
9. Block the Cold – add weather-stripping or install storm doors and windows. Caulk around windows and use foam outlet protectors to prevent cold air from entering your home. Also make sure your attic is properly insulated.
10. Check your Fireplace – an annual inspection can prevent home fires! Animal nests or creosote buildup can be very hazardous.
Outside
1. Winterize Your A/C and Water Lines – drain any hoses and air conditioner pipes. If you’re a/c system has a water shutoff valve turn that off. Make sure hoses are removed from outside faucets, drained and properly stowed away. If you have rain barrels, drain those as well.
2. Underground Sprinkler Systems – all systems need to be properly drained and pipes blown out before it freezes.
3. Clean Gutters – having clean gutters not only makes your home look nicer it also prevents the build-up of ice on your roof and decreases the risk of mold in your home.
4. Trim Trees – check limbs that could possibly knock out power to your home or cause damage to your home during winter storms.
5. Clean and Store Garden and Yard Equipment
6. Check Your Snow Blower and Stock up with Salt/Sand – the earlier you do this the better you are! Waiting until the first snowstorm only guarantees a snow blower that won’t start and stores running out of ice treatments.

Amerimax Window Products

When making the decision to add new windows to your existing home there are many features and considerations to make. Keep in mind that yes, new windows will you’re your home more energy efficient. That cost of savings will take several years in order to actually pay for the windows that you select to place in your home. Energy Star-qualified windows can lower your energy bills by 7 to 15%. That cost of savings usually only figures to about $50-$450 per year for a 2,000 square-foot, single-story home depending upon the type of window you install. So why make the decision to install new windows? New windows will save you energy costs. They will also make your home quieter, more attractive, less drafty and they will not need to be painted. New windows also are much easier to clean than old windows with combination storm and screens.

When considering what company and brand of windows to choose consider the following:

Price doesn’t indicate performance – Expensive well-known brands may not do the job that you believe they will.
Match windows to climate – look at overall scores on windows. Zero in on test results that apply to our local climate.
Don’t overspend on options – focus on features that will add value. Low-E coatings improve efficiency in our cold winter climates. Finer mesh screens let more light through and do not obscure the view as some standard screens do.

Window Anatomy 101

Frame provides structure.
Cladding protects the exterior of a wood or composite window and is made of vinyl, aluminum, or fiberglass, eliminating painting.
Sash is the moving part of the window; it can be tilted in for easy cleaning.
Insulated glass Double-glazed windows have a sealed space between two panes of glass filled with air or another gas that insulates better than air. Argon gas is standard on many windows, but the energy savings won’t justify paying extra for it.
Low-E coating is transparent and improves the efficiency of the glass by reflecting heat yet letting light in. The coating is applied to the outside of glass in warmer climates to reflect the sun’s heat out; in colder areas, it’s applied to the inside glass to keep heat in.
Grilles are decorative and are available in different patterns to match architectural styles.
