Lets go to action news reporter, nydia han First Quarter she is live in the winfield section with details on how to protect your home in the cold weather. Reporter this is so important sharrie. Winterizing your home is a must. And one thing you should do is look up. If you see tree limbs that look like they could knock out power to your home if they get heavy with ice and snow or weak limbs that hit your car as they break off cut them down now. Many people wait until just before the first major snowfall to get their equipment ready but its far bet toward prep now. Make sure your snow blower is ready for action. Fill it up for gas and start it up to make sure it works, and make sure your shovel is in Good Condition and you have salt or sand for your driveway. And clean your gutters, because when we start to accumulate snow on rooftops as that melts we want it to be free flowing, if not it can back up on your roof and start to come inside of your home through the ceiling and walls. And check your house for drafts and seal that up using installation, weather stripping or spray foam. This could save up to 20 off your heating costs and replacing a furnace filter could save you money and a clean one would save you up to 15 on your heating bill. And most important to make sure your smoke detectors and Carbon Monoxide detectors have fresh battery and are working. There are more fires and Carbon Monoxide deaths in the winter months. If you have not used your fireplace since last winter its a good idea to have it cleaned by a professional. Be very careful if you use a space heater, turn it off when you leave the room and make sure you dont put it engineer curtains or anything else flammable. Im nydia han, channel 6 action news.
