It's fall, which means there are several things you can be doing in and around your home to make sure you're prepared for the winter months ahead.
Jona Whitesides, a spokesperson for Rocky Mountain Power, joined us with tips.
One of the most important things to do is service your HVAC system.
Another thing is to clean debris from gutters to prevent blockages and water damage.
Inspect or install heat tape and teat tape timer's to prevent ice buildup.
Inspect insulation to ensure your home is properly insulated, especially in the attic.
Another thing to do before the cold is the seal cracks in your windows and doors to prevent drafts.
Schedule furnace maintenance to ensure your eating system is running efficiently.
And, move any furniture blocking intakes or heat registers.
