I’m here at a home inspection in a wooded area of Hummelstown, and the home inspector just went through some of those maintenance tips with us, so I thought I would share.First, you have your gutters. So you want to come through in the fall and make sure that leaves and tree debris do not clog your gutters, because that could lead to overflow. It could lead to a waterfall effect from your gutters or spouting, and it could also lead to erosion, or ultimately could lead to water entering into your house. So if you don’t have gutter guards, you want to come through with a broom, a blower of some sort. Make sure your gutters are clear.Number two, your hose connections. If you have outdoor hose bibs, which you most certainly do in a single-family house or even a townhouse, you want to make sure you turn off the water supply of those hose connections and also disconnect the hose itself so the water can’t freeze over the winter.Number three, it’s a good time to change your filter. Now that you switch from the cooling season to the heating season, go ahead and change your filter of your HVAC.And also change the direction of your returns on your house, the HVAC air returns. So in the wintertime, you want to keep the heat and get rid of the cool. So that means that you close the top air return and you open the bottom one, and you do the opposite in the spring.And the last thing you want to think about seasonally is your smoke detectors. So go through, test your smoke detectors, potentially change the batteries, and if it’s been ten years, possibly even change the smoke detectors themselves.So just four easy tips to make sure that you, your home, and your family are prepared for this winter heating season!</div></body>
