Fall is here and its time once again to get our homes ready for another season.  Here is a quick list to get you started this weekend.

• Have a heating professional check your heating system.
• Protect your home from frozen pipes.
• Run all gas-powered lawn equipment until the fuel is gone.
• Test your emergency generator.
• Have a certified chimney sweep inspect and clean the flues and check your fireplace dampers.
• Remove birds’ nest from chimney flues and outdoor electrical fixtures.
• Make sure the caulking around doors and windows is adequate to reduce heating/cooling loss.
• Make sure the caulking around the bathroom fixtures is adequate to prevent water from seeping into the sub-flooring.
• Clean the gutters and downspouts.

Remember to take a moment before starting machinery or climbing a ladder to think about safety. A few hours of preparation can save you and your family some misery this winter, not to mention some money.
