Charleston may not see snow or freezing temps for long stretches, but that doesn’t mean winter maintenance can be skipped altogether. A few preventative steps now can help protect your property, reduce energy costs, and keep tenants comfortable all season long.
Top Winter Maintenance Tasks to Prioritize:
- HVAC Check-Up – After a long cooling season, make sure heating elements are working properly.
- Inspect & Seal Drafts – Even small air leaks around windows and doors can impact comfort and energy bills.
- Clean Dryer Vents – A must-do for fire prevention, especially in multifamily properties.
- Test Smoke & CO Detectors – Batteries should be checked and replaced at least twice a year.
- Gutter Clean-Up – Clear out fall debris to prevent clogs and water damage during winter storms.
- Check for Signs of Pests – Cooler weather sends rodents and insects indoors—early prevention is key.
At CREC, we handle seasonal maintenance for the properties we manage—giving both tenants and owners peace of mind during the colder months.
