Now is the Time to Prepare for Winter
Hello Everyone,
This week I thought I would prompt you to get outside and enjoy this weather while it’s still here! I thought … why wait until weather turns to get out to prepare for the winter? Get out there and enjoy the sunshine!
Now is a good time to check these to avoid possible headaches down the road.
· CLEAN OUT YOUR GUTTERS - Avoid future roof damage. Clean those gutters now.
· DRAIN FAUCETS AND SPRINKLER SYSTEMS - Water sitting in pipes can freeze and burst. Drain lines and cover hose bibs with Styrofoam insulators.
· AS KARIN SUGGESTED, REPLACE FURNACE FILTER - Keep your furnace efficient this winter. And, when was the last time you had it serviced?
· REPLACE BATTERIES IN SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
· CHECK AND/OR CLEAN CHIMNEY - Especially if you are using wood as one of your heat sources this winter.
If you have hints that you use to do any of the above or have suggestions of your own - share them with our other readers!
Til next time ~ Teri
