Inspect the Roof- You are looking for any cracked or missing shingles. Check for any damage that might allow for leaks. For minor repairs, roofing cement may be able to fix it. But don’t delay on larger repairs.
Check the gutters- You will want your gutters free of leaves and debris so water (or snow) can drain properly.
Check the weather-stripping- This keeps cold air out and warm air in around doors and windows. It is generally easier and cost effective to replace this entirely if there is any damage, versus repairing it.
Service the heating system- Check your filters to make sure they are clean and working properly. Also check for leaks in the air ducts.
Sweep the chimney- You are checking for black, scaly build up on the inside of the chimney. It is recommended to clean an active chimney once a year.
