Are you ready for winter? Portland and Vancouver may not a get a lot of snow, but the Pacific Northwest is definitely home to some cold, wet and windy weather during the winter months. Preparing your home for the elements is important because it can save you a lot of money and it makes you a lot more cozy and comfortable in your home.

There are a lot of different steps you can take to winterize your home, including making sure your home stays warm. Obviously, checking to see that your insulation is up-to-date and sufficient is very important. However, ensuring that your airflow is fluent and unimpeded is just as important.

If the warm air is not getting to every room in your house and some rooms feel colder than others, then there is a chance that your ducts have some kind of blockage. Although there could be a large object creating the blockage, it’s more likely that your air ducts just need to be cleaned.

Dirt and other debris can build up in your ducts, which can impede sufficient airflow. Another thing that can lead to poor airflow are leaks. You can prevent this air loss by sealing your ducts at all the joints and anywhere else there might be leaks.

Having clean air ducts with no holes is a very important part of keeping your home cozy and warm during the winter. You can click here to learn more about these services in Portland and Vancouver.
