December
Main project: Improve your energy efficiency
As you get ready for the holidays and count toward the new year, consider wrapping up your home like a gift to prevent moisture and heat loss.
Sealing leaks around windows and doors, in the siding, and adding insulation can save you approximately 15% on heating and cooling costs, as per the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Home maintenance checklist for December:
-Inspect your lighting fixtures.
-Winterize your water pipes to prevent freezing. Also, unless you have a frost-free faucet, remember to drain any garden hoses and shut off and drain hose bibs.
-Check the weather tightness of all exterior components and seal any foundation cracks.
-Inspect your attic insulation and ventilation for its state to ensure uniform coverage.
-Check for roof leaks, particularly at vents, chimneys, and valley areas.
