Winter is here! Help ensure your home stays warm and safe during the coldest months of the year.
Cut back dead or overhanging limbs near the roof, power lines, or driveway to prevent them from snapping during extreme weather.
Inspect around door frames and window panes for drafts that can make it difficult to conserve energy in the home.
Check the smoke detector and carbon monoxide detectors and replace the batteries. Space heaters and other heating appliances can increase the risk of carbon monoxide exposure in the winter.
Stock up on items to sustain your household for three days without power. Keep bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, a radio, and a first-aid kit on hand.
Have a licensed and insured chimney inspector check the flue for hidden creosote buildup, blockages, and confirm the structural integrity of hard-to-see areas.
