Investing in some home maintenance projects now can help you save money when the cold weather arrives. By trimming your heating costs and preventing unexpected emergency repairs, you can ensure a more comfortable and cost-effective winter season.

“There are a lot of things you can do for free,” says Ethan O’Donnell, deputy editor of FamilyHandyman.com. Simple tasks like clearing gutters and cleaning air filters in the HVAC system can make a big difference.

For long-term savings, consider bigger investments like insulating the attic or upgrading to a more energy-efficient water heater. In 2023, the average U.S. household spent $2,458 on home maintenance, according to Angi.

Here are some key tips to prepare your home for winter:

1. Check for heat loss:
Walk around your home with a candle near windows and doors to check for drafts. Add weather stripping if needed to keep heat in and reduce the need for excessive heating.

2. Improve the efficiency of heating systems:
Get your HVAC system serviced annually to ensure it’s running efficiently. Cleaning or changing filters can also help boost efficiency. Look into tax credits for HVAC upgrades to save money.

3. Keep water out:
Clear gutters before winter to prevent ice buildup and leaks. Look for potential hazards like tree limbs that could cause damage during storms.

4. Consider solar power for decor:
Use timers for holiday lights and decorations to save energy. Solar-powered options can further reduce energy consumption.

5. Set money aside for unexpected costs:
Prepare for unexpected repairs and power outages by setting aside emergency funds. Keep essential supplies like batteries, flashlights, and water on hand for emergencies.

By taking these steps now, you can ensure a more comfortable and cost-effective winter season for your home.
