Winter in Mallorca may seem mild, but proper preparation is essential to protect your home from damage and unnecessary expenses. Planning ahead ensures peace of mind, cost savings, and a comfortable home during colder months.
Inspect doors, windows, and shutters for drafts and proper closure. Sealing small gaps or installing weather stripping can prevent heat loss and reduce energy consumption.
Ensure boilers, radiators, or stoves function properly. If you have a fireplace, make sure it is cleaned and inspected professionally before use for safety and efficiency.
Rain and wind can damage outdoor furniture, awnings, and sensitive plants. Store furniture indoors or cover it with waterproof covers. Trim trees and shrubs that may be at risk during storms. Clean gutters and drains to prevent flooding.
Even though extreme frost is rare in Mallorca, protect exposed pipes. Shut off outdoor faucets and consider insulating vulnerable pipes. Check for leaks that could cause problems during heavy rain.
Keep flashlights, batteries, blankets, drinking water, and non-perishable foods on hand. Even a mild winter may cause temporary power or water interruptions.
Inspect roofs, gutters, and facades. Repairs done before winter prevent major damage. Test smoke detectors and security systems to ensure functionality.
Advance planning ensures peace of mind and avoids unexpected costs. A thorough home inspection protects your investment and ensures a safer, more comfortable winter.
