Program Thermostat

Properly setting the temperature and schedule on your programmable thermostat is one of the most effective ways to minimize your home's energy use. This simple device has the power to control a large amount of your home’s energy and should be carefully monitored to minimize waste.

Clean Gutters

Cleaning gutters is a task that should be done each Fall after the leaves drop. Clean gutters ensure water is properly channeled away from your foundation and roof, reducing the risk of damage to either.

Flush Tank Water Heater

Tap water has tiny bits of minerals and sediment in it that tends to pile up in the bottom of your water heater. Left unchecked, this sediment builds up over time and will rob your heater of capacity and prematurely wear out the components. Eventually the whole bottom of your tank could rust out and lead to a catastrophic failure and flood. Annual water heater flushes help keep this from happening!

Inspect & Service Roof

You should take care to check your attic and roof before each Winter. Your roof is your first line of defense against sun, rain, snow, sleet, hail, and anything else thrown down from above. An annual inspection of your roof can find small problems before they develop into big ones, saving you time and money down the road.

Inspect Attic

Your attic is not just an empty space to store the Christmas ornaments but rather a carefully designed aspect of your home that ensures many years of durability, energy efficiency, and comfort. While your attic should be relatively maintenance free, it is wise to complete an annual inspection for any signs of water damage, mold, pests, or other issues.
