Winter is coming (or if you are watching Game of Thrones, it's already here), so you need to prepare your house for the cold and wet winter season. A routine periodic maintenance will help with comfort, reduce operating costs, extend the life of your systems/appliances, and most importantly, it will protect your investment. Here are few things you can do before winter arrives: Have the furnace/boiler serviced before turning on in order to protect the equipment; Clean gutters, extend downspouts and improve grading in order to keep/maintain dry basement; Winterize outdoor hose bibs so they won't freeze and burst; Test your sump pump to avoid flooding.
