Winterizing Aspen Homes

Winter is fast approaching, and as always, it’s going to hit the lovely town of Aspen hard. That’s why those who own Aspen homes are gearing up and getting ready for the cold months ahead. If you’re tired of the same old tips for getting your home fully winter-ready, then read on to learn about some new and interesting ways to prepare your home for the chilliest (and most beautiful!) season of the year.

Most Aspen homes rely on some kind of heating system during the colder months. Since your system likely hasn’t been used in quite some time, it’s important to have it serviced as soon as possible. That way, there won’t be any ugly surprises when you’re ready to start using it. Replace filters if necessary, call in a technician to make sure everything is working properly, and clean out those fireplaces too. That way, you’ll be ready to go on the first big cold day of the season.

If you don’t have insulation in your home, particularly in colder areas like attics and basements, or if your insulation is in need of repair, now is the time to do it. Adding insulation is a great way to lower your energy costs, because it keeps your home naturally warmer.

You can also add in some cute draft snakes to keep cold air from filtering in through doorways and windows. Add do-it-yourself touches to match your décor, or just find a unique and creative draft snake that you love. And remember, tips such as these can only do so much. The trick behind having a home that can stand up to any season is having a good builder, like the folks at Image Construction.
