			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;">With the fall season upon us, now is the time to do some routine maintenance around your home to prepare for the cooler weather ahead. Taking the time to do some work now may also save on some major expenses later on.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #1: Clean outdoor furniture and store for the winter.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">If you have outdoor furniture, make sure to clean all parts of the furniture, including the cushions, prior to putting it away for the winter. If your furniture has metal frames, make sure to check for rust damage and repair it, if necessary, prior to storing. If you have the storage room at your home, put your outdoor furniture away during the winter. If you cover your furniture, allow for airflow to help prevent mold or mildew.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #2: Have your chimney inspected by a professional.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">If you have a fireplace, consider having your chimney checked out by a professional chimney cleaner before starting the first fire. All chimneys should be checked out at least once a year prior to use to look for any damage and to have it cleaned. This maintenance will prevent possible chimney fires.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #3: Check your windows and doors for air leaks.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">An easy way to check for leaks is to move a lighter around the window or door frame and see if the flame moves with a breeze. If you find a leak, you can caulk it, weatherstrip it or in some cases, you may have to replace the wood frame. For door leaks around the bottom of the door, you can put on a new door sweep. Repairing these leaks can save you money on your energy bill during the cold months.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #4: Check your heating system.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Change or replace filters for your heating system, if needed, and clean the vents. Now may be the time for a professional duct cleaning as well.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #5: Inspect your insulation.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Make sure you have proper insulation in both your attic and basement. Look for any dark, dirty spots which may indicate that you have air leaks coming into your home that need repair.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #6: Stock up on firewood for the cold winter months.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Make sure you have enough kindling and wood for the winter months and store it at least 30 feet away from your home. By storing your firewood away from your home, you’ll reduce your home’s fire load and the chance of attracting termites.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #7: Clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct, damper and space under the dryer.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Poor maintenance allows lint to build up in the exhaust duct which is a fire hazard.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #8: Make sure all electrical holiday decorations have tight connections.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">If possible, use 3-prong plugs and cords. The use of 2-prong adapters, which permit 3-prong plugs to be used in 2-prong outlets, doesn’t always provide grounding to protect against shock. Remember to unplug decorations when not in use.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #9: Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Keeping this clean of cooking grease will help keep a stovetop fire from spreading.</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TradeGothic,TradeGothic; font-size: small;">Tip #10: Check water hoses on the clothes washer, refrigerator icemaker and dishwasher for cracks and bubbles.</p>
<p></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Replace hoses that show signs of leaking to help avoid water leaks and costly repairs later on.</p>
