Signs of the changing season are everywhere you look, from turning leaves to holiday decoration displays in stores. Now is the time to get a start on preparing for the winter season. 

The following tips may help you plan for the cold, snowy months ahead.

  • Arrange for a professional cleaning of your furnace.
  • If you have a chimney, set an appointment for a cleaning.
  • Test and service your generator.
  • If you have a septic system, schedule to have it pumped before the ground freezes.
  • Tune up your snow blower.
  • Inspect your roof and attic and look for damaged, loose, or missing shingles that may cause leaks.
  • Keep runoff gutters clear to avoid potential damage to your home.
  • Divert water spouts by adding extensions to your downspouts in order to keep water away from your foundation.
  • Trim tree branches away from your roof, gutters, and power lines.
  • Shut-off exterior water faucets and put away hoses to prevent them from freezing and/or bursting.
  • Clean the lint from your clothes dryer vent and underneath the dryer.
  • Inspect your washer hoses to make sure they are not bulging.
  • Insulate any water pipes in unheated areas for more efficiency.
  • Use proper safety measures if using a space heater.
  • Restock your emergency supplies before and /or after a power outage (i.e. - batteries, flashlights, non-perishable food supplies).

Thinking ahead and making sure you are prepared will help ensure you have a worry free and claim free season.
