Readying your Helena Home for the Winter

That’s right fall is in the air, the leaves are changing and the temperature is dropping and it is now time to start winterizing your Helena home for the cold winter that is just around the corner.

1.  Reduce your home heating costs by installing boiler blankets, programmable thermostats  and pipe or roofing insulation.  This is also the perfect time  to take advantage of a free energy audit that may be offered by your gas and electric company. 

2.  Insure that your fireplace and chimney is clean and free of cracks or structural damage.  this may be a good time to hire a chimney sweep.

3.  Clean out gutters and remove debris this may be a good time to install heat tape so that your gutter downspouts do not freeze this winter.

4.  Lastly get your garden in shape by cutting back spent flowers, mulch and transplant perennials now before the snow begins to fly.
