New York winters can be bitterly cold. With the right preparation, your home can stay warm, comfortable and safe until spring.
Stop the drafts
Check windows and doors for cold air and replace worn weatherstripping. Drafty windows may be ready for energy-efficient replacements.
Warm up the floors
Rugs, carpet or radiant heated floors in bathrooms and kitchens make cold mornings much more pleasant.
Check the roof
Snow and ice can find weak spots. A roof inspection before winter helps prevent leaks and ice damage.
Test your safety alarms
With heating running and windows closed, working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are essential.
Create a cozy corner
Soft throws, warm lighting and a comfortable chair by the window make winter something to look forward to.
