You may not think about the benefits of weatherizing until a cold draft is blowing through your windows, or your heating bill suddenly shoots sky high. But, by then, it’s too late. This is the time to prepare your home to stay warm and cozy.

The Easy Winter Preparation Checklist for Your Home, published by The Spruce, can help.  It offers tips for winterizing your heating and air conditioning systems, inspecting woodstoves and fireplaces, winterizing water pipes, checking your insulation,  sealing doors and windows, inspecting the roof and addressing other indoor and outdoor home elements. All of this work can help keep your energy expenses in check, as explained by Nick Vadala writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer. He suggests performing an in-home energy audit, either on your own or with the help of professional, to pinpoint areas that need attention.
