Helpful hints to protect your home as the thermostat drops:

• Inspect your roof and replace any damaged or missing roof shingles.
• Make sure gutters and downspouts are free of leaves and debris.
• Consider a fresh coat of paint or sealer on your deck.
• On a windy day, close your windows and feel for air leaks.
• Seal any leaks with rope caulk.
• Install weather stripping on the sides or bottoms of any leaky doors.
• Insulate exposed plumbing.
