Home maintenance: Managing heat loss and pest prevention in autumn

As temperatures drop, homeowners are advised to monitor their properties for thermal bridges. These areas, where heat escapes more easily, often become visible only when heating is activated and the temperature difference between the interior and exterior increases. Common problem areas include room corners, window frames, ceilings, and connections between walls and roofs.

Additionally, the arrival of colder weather prompts a need for pest prevention. Rodents often seek warmth and food inside homes during autumn. Experts suggest inspecting gaps around doors, windows, ventilation openings, and utility pipes, noting that mice can enter through openings as small as a pencil.
