    Stock up on furnace filters and change them monthly.

    Consider switching out your thermostat for a programmable thermostat.

    Remove all flammable material from the area surrounding your furnace.

Outside the home:

 

  • Trim trees if branches hang too close to the house or electrical wires.
    Ask a gardener when your trees should be pruned to prevent winter injury.
    Plant spring flower bulbs and lift bulbs that cannot winter over such as dahlias in areas where the ground freezes.
