Five calm steps before colder nights.
A little attention now can make the first freeze and first snowfall much easier.
Protect outdoor water lines
Disconnect garden hoses and follow the right winterizing steps for your sprinkler and backflow system.
Give the furnace a test run
Replace the filter if needed, run the heat and schedule service if anything sounds or smells unusual.
Clear gutters and downspouts
Remove leaves and confirm water can move away from the foundation before snow and ice arrive.
Seal the drafty spots
Check exterior caulk and weather stripping around doors and windows while afternoon temperatures are mild.
Refresh the safety check
Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and review fireplace or space heater safety before use.
