A Season Full of Savings in Your Oklahoma Luxury Home

With the change in leaves comes cooler temps, and before we know it we’ll be bundling up to go outside.

Not only will this preemptive strike make your heating your home more efficient, but it can help detect any safety hazards and potentially save you quite a lot of money in repair bills. An unexpected break in the heating system after hours can be rather expensive!

• Check external exhaust pipes on roofs or in walls for possible animal nest blockages.
• Remove potentially flammable items from the furnace area if you use that space for storage while it’s off.
• Have your heating system professionally checked for cracks, carbon monoxide leaks, and dirty or clogged filters or furnace system burners.
• Seal cracks and openings around windows, ducts, and doors.
• Reverse your ceiling fans’ directions to push the hot air down and recirculate it throughout the home.
• Clear out any dead tree limbs that could fall on your home.
• Have your chimney inspected and any soot or debris cleaned out, and repair any open mortar joints.
• Be sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have working batteries in them.
• Wrap and insulate any exposed water or drain piping and drain any outdoor sprinkler systems, fountains, and hoses.

Whether your luxury home in Oklahoma is brand new or you’ve enjoyed many years in it, use these tips to get a season full of savings this winter!
