  1. Avoid frozen pipes by draining and turning off the water from exterior pipes.

  2. Drip water from hoses and keep them safe in the garage or cellar.

  3. A little adjustment on doors and windows will help you save energy avoiding cold air flows.

  4. Close your chimney when you are not using it, it will keep your house warmer.

  5. Drain all remaining fuel from your lawnmower. If you don't do that, it may not work next spring.

  6. Turn the switch on your fan to run clockwise at a low speed to help distribute the heat in your home.
