Fall Preparations for the  

  Coming Winter Season 

       It's mid-September and although the mornings and evenings are becoming cooler, we don't want to think about the season that is just around the corner! The following is a check-list of what you should consider doing right now to prepare for Winter:  

• Clean out your gutters of all debris to make sure water can flow unobstructed.
• Check your basement sump pump to make sure it is in working order.
• Clean your fireplace flue.
• Have your primary heating system cleaned and tuned up. A good inspection of your entire system can avoid break-downs when you need your heat the most.
• Turn off outdoor water spickets at the valves inside the house and drain the pips.
• Be sure to blow out your water sprinkler irrigation system.
• Check the weather stripping on all your doors and windows. Add or replace if necessary.
• Shut off the breaker to your outdoor condenser and cover the top of the condenser for protection against snow and ice (does not apply to heat pumps).
• Check all electric heat tape on any exposed heat or domestic water piping in cold areas.
• Add insulation to piping in areas where pipes might freeze.
• Install an electric ice melt on the edge of your roof and in gutters where ice builds up.
• If you have anti-freeze in your heating system piping, have it checked for proper freeze protection.
• Be prepared in case of a power outage. Check and start your generator, making sure you have a secondary source of heat.
• If you do have a heat pump, make sure it is clear all around the unit for good air flow.
• If you have an oil system, make sure there is a clear path to your oil fill pipe (and keep it clear in the winter).
