Every year winter in Illinois comes at a different time and unexpectedly. In order for you to be ready before winter comes, you should plan your house projects somewhere between the end of September and the end of October. There were times when we had snow for Halloween but also there were times when it didn’t snow until January. It is really hard to predict the weather in Illinois.
Modern Times Homes has been buying houses in Illinois for many years and along the way we learned that many homeowners have no idea how to prepare houses for winter. If you lived in your house more than a year and you already survived a winter you probably know what your house needs work with. In order for you to save money on your bills you need to make sure your house is insulated the right way. Installing new windows would be ideal as well, since older windows tend to let the warmth out. Check your furnace if it works, maybe have a technician test it for you.
Since it is still warm outside, plan to walk around your house and check what needs to be done. Look for small holes or damages that would cause trouble in the winter. You don’t want to work on it when it is freezing outside. It is also important to collect all the items from your back and front yard. You don’t want your table, chairs or trampoline flying around when it gets windy.
