1. Replace filters and have furnaces checked to make sure they are functioning fine.

2,  Install at least one carbon monoxide detector. This deadly gas is called the “silent killer.” What is so scary to me is you cannot see it or smell it. According to an article by the Home Safety Council, it is a good idea to have one near your bed.  

3. If you need an extra burst of heat portable heaters can be so welcoming however improper use can have serious consequences. Make sure it placed at least 3 feet from the wall.

4. Have a professional check chimney and fireplace. Make sure you do not burn paper or cardboard and that you are burning proper type of wood.

5. Remember, protect your pipes and if it is below freezing turn on faucets and let water trickle through the pipes.

Make sure you are always prepared. Buy extra batteries, flashlights and portable radio in a specific place where everyone in the family knows they can be found.
