Christmas Land
We hope everyone enjoyed Christmas Land again this year. It's our favourite time of the year in the store and we're glad so many of you stopped by to share it with us. Winter Home Maintenance Windsor Home Hardware can help you with all your home maintenance projects this winter, no matter how big or small. We have everything you will need for inside or out. Below are some things to do around your house to make this winter season an enjoyable one. Insulation Install a hot water heater-insulating blanket to conserve heat. In the event of a power outage, this may decrease the possibility of water damage. Prevent the freezing of water pipes that exist in an unheated part of your home by insulating them with special pipe insulation. Heating Systems Clean the registers in each room for the best possible efficiency.
Move furniture, curtains, and loose carpeting or rugs away from the registers so that the air can circulate freely and to avoid a fire hazard. Sealing Air Leaks Check for air leaks around electrical outlets, pipefittings that exit or enter the home, attic entrances, windows, and doorways. Caulk or add insulation plates (for electrical outlets) to any location that merits it. Apply temporary weather stripping to prevent air and heat leaks at the windows. Safety Procedures Purchase smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors for every floor. Replace the batteries in your alarms at least once a year. Check the alarms to make sure that they are still in good working order.
