In preparing for the winter months, you need to have your heating system checked like the filter of your furnace, see if it needs replacement or if your chimney is free from leaves and other things that could clog it.Lavish extra attention to your attic and basement. Prevent heat from escaping and pipes from freezing by adding insulation to it. In case you and your family are snowbirds, request for a friend to drop by regularly while you are away to check for possible problems due to the weather. The earlier a problem can be noticed, the easier it is to repair.
