1 Prepare your hearth for fire
Make sure your fireplace and chimney are in good condition and safe.
2 Seal the windows
Check around your home for air leaks, especially near windows and doors. Don't let your energy bill cover things that can be prevented with a little extra insulation or new windows.
3 Clear out the gutters
Have gutters cleared of any debris. Backed up gutters will allow water to pool, freeze, and crack your gutters, or spill on your house causing damage.
4 Prepare for winter storms
Always have a fully-stocked emergency kit at hand for blizzards that can keep you stuck in your home for a couple days.
5 Don’t forget about heating maintenance
Have a professional check your heating system and ensure it's in good working order before you turn it on.
6 Pad your pipes
A small frozen pipe can cause big household damage if it bursts. Make sure your pipes are checked and winterized.
7 Organize your garage
Organize your garage by putting away any summer items and bringing any winter necessities―shovels, snow blowers, skis and sleds―to the front.
