10 Ways to Protect Your Properties from the Cold

1.  Turn off exterior water spigots.  There is usually a main shut off inside the home.

2.  Drain any and all exterior pipes and hoses (such as those to an air conditioner)

3.  Remove and store any window a/c units

4.  Get your HVAC system serviced and tuned-up

5.  If you have old windows, get a window insulation kit from a local home store

6.  Insulate you pipes - if they are warm to the touch, they are ready for pipe insulation

7.  Store all outdoor furniture, grills, hoses in a shed or garage

8.  Make sure the chimney is swept and fireplace debris removed

9.  Seal foundation cracks, no matter how small.  A field mouse can get into a hold as small as a dime!

10.  Check smoke detectors and make sure to have a carbon monoxide detector
