- Clean gutters and downspouts, install gutter guards to keep future maintenance to a minimum
- Change furnace filters
- Have a professional inspect and tune up heat pumps/furnaces
- Change batteries in smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors
- Inspect your roof, finding leaks before they cause damage is key. Pay special attention to the flashing around chimneys and vents and make repairs as necessary
- Hire a chimney sweep to inspect your fireplace to ensure it is safe and ready for use
- If you have a generator, fire it up and ensure its operation before you need it
- Seal gaps where critters can get into house
- Stock up on winter supplies, fill your gas cans, stock batteries, chop your firewood, these are especially important in remote and higher elevations
- Clean your dryer vents, cool dry air increases static electricity so be sure to keep it clear and lower your fire risk
