Fall Tips for Your Home!

Late September means the beginning of preparation for winter.
• Your furnace or heating system is a great place to begin. Having it serviced means it will be ready when that first cold day arrives AND, it can save on your heating bill all season long!
• Replace furnace filters. Dirt makes the system work harder!
• Make certain all external doors close tightly. If they don’t, install automatic closers and a gasket which seals the door shut.
• Check the caulking around all windows to check for leaks.

• Use caulk or foam to fill any holes drilled in your attic floor (for cable wires, phone, etc.).
• Check for adequate insulation in your attic. This makes a significant improvement.
