Prepping Your Home for Winter

Last night it finally got below 50 degrees for the first time in many months.  Then, when we got up this morning, it was drifting fog all over our neighborhood.  Autumn is definitely here, and it's time to get prepared for the colder winter ahead.  With the baby coming, I'm trying really hard to get everything squared away.  Here's the list for basic winterizing on our house.  Yours may differ depending on your climate, but at least it's a start:

- Have the furnace serviced
- Clean ducts, vents, and air filters
- Reverse ceiling fans (really it works!)
- Have the chimney cleaned
- Winterize outdoor taps
- Inspect doors for drafts
- Change curtains (if needed) to provide insulation
