W<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ith winter comes more rain, wind and cooler weather, which means New Zealand homeowners will inevitably spend more time stuck inside.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Spring is usually a popular time for a home refresh. However, it<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s equally if not more important to have your home in tip-top shape in autumn, ensuring you have a healthy space for the challenging winter months ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together a list of 16 easy jobs that are often easy to miss, so that you can have a cozy and efficient home over the next few months.<\/p>\n

Let’s get into it!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Regular maintenance gives your home the armour it needs to battle the cooler seasons<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Control mould and mildew <\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Prevention is easier than treatment for mould and mildew. Check around your house for spots that are prone to leaks, condensation or lack of airflow, which can result in built up moisture and mould.<\/p>\n

Something as simple as cracking open windows to let air in can help. Or, consider investing in central heating and proper insulation to keep mould and mildew under control.<\/p>\n

If you find mould in your home, contact a specialist to avoid risk of it negatively affecting your health down the line.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Maintain fireplace and chimney<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Planning on using your fireplace this winter? Right now is a great time to get your chimney cleaned of debris and checked for cracks.<\/p>\n

Hidden dangers like these can compromise the safety and efficiency of your chimney. Remember to inspect your firewood shelter to ensure it\u2019s nice and dry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Check heating system<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Ensure your heating system is prepped for winter by getting a heating specialist to change the air filters, clear PVC vent pipes of any obstructions, and clean the boiler and gas systems.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to reduce heating costs longer term (and minimise humidity and mould in the house), you could consider investing in central heating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Guttering And Spouting: How To Spot The Warning Signs And Prevent Damage<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Clean gutters and spouts<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

If you\u2019re not the gardening type, or haven\u2019t had time to tidy up the leaves this season, it\u2019s a good idea to get this done before higher rainfall averages come our way.<\/p>\n

Cleaning out your gutters will help to prevent water damage to your roof and potentially other parts of your house.<\/p>\n

Get the brackets that secure the gutters and spouts checked when you have them cleaned. They may have become unclipped over time and can fall down in a storm (right when you need them).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Prevent freezing pipes<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Insulate pipes which are near windows, doors and parts of the home that are unheated and likely to freeze. It\u2019s best practice to insulate all hot water pipes everywhere they run, in the interests of conserving energy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Prune bushes and trees<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Bushes and trees are the lesser known culprit of moisture in the home. Get them trimmed back to leave space for ventilation between the greenery and the house.<\/p>\n

By pruning overgrown branches near electrical wires or your roof, you can prevent damage to your property in the event of bad weather.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Flush hot water tank<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Flushing your hot water tank will remove sediment build up and help lengthen the product life.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Pro-tip<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n
You can insulate older tanks by wrapping a thick, purpose-made blanket around it – found at most hardware stores. This will help prevent heat loss, conserve energy and save you money.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Read more about glazing measures in Chapter 5 of<\/i><\/span> Project home: Glazing Measure and Choices<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Check windows for draughts<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

All homes require maintenance to keep heat in, and the weather and wind out. And as a general rule of thumb, all houses built before the 1960s, and most houses built before the 1980s will need some draught stopping, according to the Healthy Homes standard.<\/p>\n

If you suspect a draught in your windows and want to invest in new ones, then consider double glazing. This can reduce the chill from outside, and in the long term, save you money on heating inside.<\/p>\n

It also reduces condensation on windows, which means less likelihood of mould and mildew.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Check walkways and driveways<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Before the morning frosts set in, it\u2019s a good idea to check any walkways or driveways around your home. You can prevent slips and injuries by making sure walkways are slip-free and handrails are secure.<\/p>\n

If any concrete spaces need to be fixed up, now is the time, as concrete doesn\u2019t set well in cold weather.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Change curtains<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Thermal backed curtains can prevent heat escaping through windows and doors during the colder nights. Properly fitted curtains can be just as good as double-glazing for insulating homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Pro-tip<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n
If you\u2019ve got old curtains sitting around, you can hang them behind your current ones to create a layered effect.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Check roofing<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Check for tiles and screws that are loose, rusty \u2014 or worse \u2014 missing. Get a roofer to secure or replace these to prevent leaks, rust and potential damage that could be caused by loose items in a storm.<\/p>\n

For more read our Quick Roofing Guide to Leaks, Repairs & Easy Maintenance<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Inspect outdoor lighting<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Check lights and motion sensors are working, or install outdoor lighting in dark areas to help prevent slips on walkways and driveways.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Inspect insulation<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Good insulation means your heating system doesn\u2019t have to be on overdrive all winter long – and it can save you money.<\/p>\n

If you have any, check that crawl spaces are properly insulated. You can also feel for draughts under doors to block air leaks, either temporarily or permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

It’s a good idea to check on your smoke detectors all year round<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Check smoke detectors<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

According to Fire and Emergency NZ<\/a>, you should check smoke detectors monthly. It\u2019s a good idea to run a test and if needed, change the batteries.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019ve got a hardwired or mains powered detector, only a licenced electrician can replace or install them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Store tools<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

If your gardening tools are scattered around your backyard, it\u2019s time to put them away out of the elements \u2014 tools like rakes, shears, and shovels are most affected.e<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Pro-tip<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n
Use a light coating of vegetable oil on your tools to help prevent rust in wetter climates.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Plan a winter garden<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Pre-planted flowers can brighten up your garden in winter, and it\u2019s also a good planting time for perennials that bloom in the spring or summer. If you\u2019re looking to plant a winter veggie garden, consider radish, beetroot and leafy greens.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Your garden can thrive throughout and after winter if done right<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
