  1. 8 Simple Ways to Winterize Your House or Investment Property The most horrible part about winter is that maintenance costs go up on my investment properties. The good news is that most maintenance issues can be avoided if you properly winterize your house or investment property. www.circlapp.com

  2. 1. Clean Gutters: • Cleaning gutters is one of the most important things you can do to winterize your property. • If you do not clean your gutters, rain can overflow and damage the base and the walls behind the gutters. • It is a simple and inexpensive way to avoid costly damages.

  3. 2. Add a Water Heater Blanket: • A great energy-efficient upgrade is to get a water heater blanket. • This is one of the most simple upgrades you can make. • You can get water heater blankets at any hardware store.

  4. 3. Adjust Your Ceiling Fans: • You can use a ceiling fan year-round by reversing the direction your blades spin, so the fan will warm the air. • Most fans have a root switch to make changing the direction easy.

  5. 4. Replace Air Filters: • You will improving the air quality in your house or investment property and reduce the probability of maintenance issues during the winter.

  6. 5. Check Window Seals: • The leaky window seals are a common problem in older houses. • I recommend pulling back the trim and sealing the area between the window and the frame. • If you find bad wood, use an epoxy wood filler to fix each spot.

  7. 6. Door Barriers: • It might be a little tacky to have a towel or a blanket at the bottom of all your exterior doors. However, this makes a HUGE difference in lowering heating costs.

  8. 7. Check for Exterior Cracks: • If you find any cracks, damage, or signs of wildlife, instead of just fixing the damage with some seal, I recommend replacing the trim or whatever has been damaged.

  9. 8. Add a Chimney Balloon: • A chimney balloon can save you up to 30% on utility bills. • And it makes your main living area more comfortable, as it reduces the downdraft. • The balloon also keeps rodents and insects out.
