Have you prepared your home for the Winter?

Now that the weather is still fairly warm and occasionally dry, you should consider preparing your home for the cold season.

Boiler and Heating

Make sure that your boiler is working correctly. If you haven't used your boiler much all summer, you may not be aware of any issues.

Avalon Plumbing and Heating, E.C.A Plumbing and Heating Ltd, AMC Gas Services and Wayne Watkins Oil Boiler Servicing are four excellent companies in Lichfield who can give you a professional opinion on plumbing, heating, servicing and maintenance.

They also offer a call out service should an emergency happen.

Burst Pipes

Make sure you know where the tap is to turn off the water incase of a flood or burst pipe.

Finances

A big burden throughout the winter months is often the cost of heating your home. Why not check out The Utility Warehouse Discount Club in Lichfield - they can tell you whether you are currently paying too much for your gas, electric and utilities, and if you are, they can help switch providers saving you lots of money!

Blinds and Window Coverings

Windows without blinds or coverings will lose a large amount of heat, especially during winter time. Curtain and Home in Lichfield provide a complete blinds service and can help you decide on the most appropriate window covering for your home.

Additional Tasks

Other things you can do to prepare for winter include:

  • Clearing out gutters
  • Checking for leaks
  • Checking your roof for missing tiles or slate
  • Have chimneys and flues checked
  • Make sure your alarms and security work well
  • Ensure you have a useful list of numbers handy incase of an emergency.

Don't leave vital maintenance or repairs until the last minute, act now and be prepared.
