Homeowners can go stress-free with these 6 checks
Norfolk, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/07/2021 -- Improving home performance in 2021 should be at the top of every homeowner's list! Fortunately, local plumbing and HVAC giant Miller's Heating and Air Conditioning is recommending tips that can easily accomplish this stress-free goal for residents in the Hampton Roads area.
Miller's, the No. 1 company for emergency heating repair in Portsmouth and nearby, has six top suggestions:
1. Check pipes
Prevent frozen pipes by keeping thermostats set consistently, pipes insulated and garage doors closed. Don't forget to seal any cracks that look suspicious.
2. Inspect generators
Change oil and replace filters in the generator. Do a test run to ensure it's working properly before a power outage hits.
3. Change batteries
Homeowners should change batteries in both smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to safeguard their homes against possible fires and dangerous gases.
4. Filter switch
Change filters in both the spring and fall to ensure improved indoor air quality and help reduce pollutants from entering homes.
5. Invest in surge protection
Miller's installs home surge protection for residents who wish to safeguard against electrical storms. It's the perfect way to gain total peace of mind over Virginia's summer storms.
