With November in full gear, it’s time to get going on those household winter preparations! Here are some important, but often overlooked, items to check off your to-do list before it gets too cold. 1.Clean out your gutters and inspect your roof. Ice buildup can happen if gutters are not cleaned and can damage your roof. Do a quick roof inspection to see if there are any odd, warped or damaged areas that need fixing. 2.Winterize your sprinkler system. And don’t forget to protect or store any outside furniture. 3.Replace your air filter and check the furnace. Dirty filters can cause fires in extreme cases. Be prepared and make sure your air system is not impeded in any other way. 4.Reverse your ceiling fan. Reversing your ceiling fan so that it operates clockwise will push the warm air downward. This can lower your heating bill and make your living spaces more comfortable. 5.Collect emergency preparedness supplies. Homes and cars should have blankets, candles, flashlights, a first aid kit, non-perishable food, water, a battery-operated radio, and salt, as well as other items.
