Gutter Foam Filter

INTERIOR

Oven:
– Set oven control long before the cold start, not only will it prevent the breakdown in the dead of winter blues, but it is much easier to get an appointment with your local furnace repairman before he is busy.
– In general, filters should be checked every month and every models.You three months for high efficiency can save up to five percent in heating costs by ensuring your furnace is functioning properly.
– If you are considering replacing your heating system is now a good time to upgrade to a version with high efficiency.
– If you have a fireplace gas cleaning have this during his inspection of the furnace.

Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Detectors:
– Test and replace batteries when necessary.

Doors and windows:
– Make sure you close properly and check for leaks of fresh air. You can try to light a stick of incense and place near the opening, the smoke trail will indicate if you have a project.
– Consider replacing all the windows are beyond repair.
– Hang storm windows or insulating interior windows with thick curtains or plastic.
– Examine the rubber thresholds at the bottom of the doors, if they are dry and brittle, you may need to be replaced.

Thermostat:
– You can save around 10 percent in heating costs by turning your thermostat to 10 degrees at night. A programmable timer is a handy way to do this automatically, but it also helps when away from home for a long time and want to keep the temperature down.

Water heater:
– Save money and consume less energy by turning down the thermostat down during the short time of use. Some models have insulation blankets are placed on them to keep warm.

Insulation:
– Double check the insulation in your attic and add if necessary. As a general rule, if you have less than 12 inches of attic insulation, you can use more.

Prepare an emergency kit
– Get some indoor candles and matches, and put fresh batteries in their flashlights in case of a blackout.
– Put the phone numbers of utility companies by your phone or in the front of your telephone directory.
– Buy a battery backup to protect your computer.
– Set a rack or tray and fill with bottled water, canned goods, dry foods, pet food (do not forget Fido), and a first aid kit.

OUTDOOR

Fireplaces:
– Inspect by accumulation of creosote or other surprises that may have nested in the warmer months. A cover or screen is an easy way to avoid unwanted wildlife pulling shares in your fireplace.
– Make sure your fireplace damper is closed when the fireplace is not running to prevent hot air from escaping. Wood:
– Arrange for the delivery of firewood and have it stacked and ready to go.

Hoses:
– Remove the hoses from outside spigots and save.

Gutters:
– Clean your gutters and downspouts. You may consider installing leaf guards if you have a lot of trees in their property.

Holiday Lights:
– Some people use this time to connect the Christmas decorations also in those hard to reach places. For me, However, I prefer to wait until it's cold and snowing to put my lights.

External walls:
– Now is the time to caulk the leaks in frames windows, outside walls, water pipes or other openings.
– Use spray foam to insulate the areas were too large for caulk.
– Inspect mortar in the brick houses and play it if necessary.

Servicing Team:
– Relocate your lawn mower and the gas leak.
– Adjust their snow blowers.

Garden:
– Clean and store your gardening equipment.
– Trim trees that are hung next to the house or cables electric.
– Lift the bulbs or the location of susceptible plants can not survive the winter.
– Buy a bag of salt or sand on hand.

Sometimes it's hard to feel motivated to do such jobs before we have, but that is easily completed in a weekend or two, and rejoice I did. It's much nicer to complete these tasks on a sunny autumn day than standing on a ladder in midwinter.
