We help make Manhattan homeownership less stressful with our maintenance plans. Here are few tips to keep your home warm and cozy this winter: The winter season is a great time to test and change the batteries on smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. This is especially important during the winter since most house fires happen in the winter as we’re blasting the furnace and using the fireplace. Closed windows also increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. On the subject of carbon monoxide, we recommend an annual chimney cleaning to prevent smoke and CO² from flowing into your home. It’s the little things that can sometimes cause the greatest damage. You use your refrigerator every day, but rarely do anything to keep it happily humming. Twice a year we vacuum the coils on the back or bottom of the fridge. This keeps the appliance running more efficiently, allowing the coils to release heat. If you don’t do this regular maintenance, it can shorten the life of the appliance, using more energy since your compressor must work harder than it’s designed to work. The U.S. Department of Energy says that by reducing drafts you can lower your annual energy costs by 20%. If you feel drafts around windows or doors, there are several solutions, such as spray foam insulation or caulking.
