1. Call Summers & Zim's early to have your heating system tuned up for the heating season. The closer we get to the cold weather the fewer spots we have available.

2. Run ceiling fans clockwise on low speed during cold months.

3. Keep snow drifts shoveled away from outside heating units.

4. Keep heat registers free from blockage.

5. Open drapes and shades during the day for free solar heat.

6. Remove outside hoses and shut off water to exterior valves.

7. Have your fireplace cleaned and checked for safety.

8. Have heater ducts cleaned.

9. Place an insulating jacket on your water heater.

10. If your water heater is a separate system, make sure it is set to 130° to 140°.

11. Make sure your heaters and water heaters are equipped with carbon monoxide detectors.

12. When you reset your clocks at the return of standard time, change the batteries in your smoke detectors.
