December Home Maintenance Tips Are Here! ❄️🏡

As winter settles over Colorado Springs, December is the perfect time to focus on simple tasks that help protect your home from cold weather and keep everything running smoothly through the season. This month’s tips highlight a few key areas that can make a big difference: ensuring outdoor lights are working properly as daylight hours shorten, sealing gaps and cracks to prevent drafts and heat loss, and giving your bathrooms a refresh by inspecting caulking and re-sealing grout to keep moisture out.

It’s also a great time to flush your water heater to improve efficiency, guard against pipe bursts by insulating vulnerable lines and draining outdoor faucets, and switch your ceiling fans to winter rotation to keep warm air circulating. These small steps can help you stay comfortable, safe, and prepared as temperatures drop.

Stay warm, stay proactive, and keep your home cozy all December long. 🤍
