HOLIDAY PROJECTS YOU MAY WANT TO TACKLE FOR THIS MONTH!

by Mollyana Ward

Although the holiday season can be hectic, it presents an excellent opportunity to tackle lingering DIY projects. Whether you find yourself with extra time due to a break from work or anticipate holiday visitors, consider addressing a few DIY tasks from your checklist this month.

AUDIT YOUR HOME'S ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Have your energy bills shown an unexpected increase compared to the usual expenses at this time of the year? Whether you've noticed a spike or simply seek peace of mind, now might be the right moment for a comprehensive home energy assessment. Through a thorough examination of your home's energy usage, you can gain insights into your overall consumption patterns and identify areas with potential for improvement. For an even more detailed analysis, you might want to consider enlisting the services of a professional.

HVAC TLC

When it comes to energy usage, have you prioritized giving your HVAC system the attention it deserves this season? Prevent potential breakdowns when you need your system the most by taking simple yet crucial steps, such as replacing the air filter and scheduling routine maintenance with a professional. Moreover, it might be opportune to address the cleanliness of your air ducts. Over time, dirt, dust, and other particles accumulate in your ducts, circulating throughout your home. Experts recommend a thorough duct cleaning every three to five years, so if it's been a while, considering hiring a professional for a meticulous cleaning could be a wise decision.

CLEAN & DESCALE SHOWERHEADS

Have you noticed a grimy buildup on your showerheads? Beyond the unsightly appearance, mineral deposits and limescale can compromise water pressure and even obstruct the spray holes. Revitalize your shower fixtures by performing a comprehensive cleaning using a brush combined with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. In regions with particularly hard water, immerse the showerheads in a bag of vinegar to effectively dissolve and eliminate stubborn mineral deposits.
