Hello Fellow Minnesotans!

October is here, and with it comes the crisp autumn air and cooler nights. Now is the perfect time to start preparing your home for the upcoming winter season. Here are some essential "winterizing" tasks to check off your list before those nighttime temperatures dip below freezing:

• Furnace Check-Up: Ensure your furnace is running efficiently by having it inspected and replacing the furnace filter if needed.

• Gutter Maintenance: Clean out your gutters to ensure water flows freely and prevents ice build-up.

• Exterior Faucets: Turn off and drain your exterior faucets to prevent freezing and potential water damage inside your home.

• Draft Protection: Use door draft stoppers and apply plastic to older, drafty windows to keep the cold air out.

• Attic Insulation: Check your attic's insulation levels and ensure it's properly vented to avoid ice dams and heat loss.

• Irrigation System: Have a professional blow out excess water from your irrigation system to protect it from freezing.

• Safety First: Replace the batteries in your fire and carbon monoxide detectors to keep your home safe.
