Remove hoses from outside hose bibs.
Close vents on homes with crawl spaces.
Have your heater checked by an HVAC professional.
Had your chimney cleaned recently?
Install a CO2 detector if you have natural gas coming into the home.
Replace the batteries in your smoke detectors annually.
Be extremely careful using portable heaters.
Never run a generator in an enclosed space.
Check the attic insulation to see if more would help keep your home warm and utility bill down.
