Tanglers, such as holiday lights and power cords, will cause
problems and shutdowns at the local recycling facility. All broken,
burned-out strings of lights, power strips, and power cords can
be dropped off at the Service Garage off of Oakes Road by

WINTER MAINTENENCE Winter is here so you will spend more
time indoors, it is time to make sure your home is prepared
properly. Colder temperatures can create multiple issues that can
be prevented and will save your pocket book and maybe a life.
Here is a short list of items to check on or maintain before the
freezing temperatures start.

1.Have your HVAC system serviced and cleaned. If connected to
the chimney, this is also the time to have the flue liner checked and
repaired if necessary. Furthermore, have the flue for the hot
water tank check as well. It is also recommended that fireplace
chimney cleaning and sweeping also be done.

2.All smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors should be
updated and replaced if necessary. All batteries should also be
replaced at a minimum. Smoke detectors should be place within
each bedroom and an additional one per floor.

3.Exterior maintenance items should include: gutter cleaning,
trimming low hanging limbs or large limbs overhanging power
lines (call CEI) or overhanging the house, clean snow and ice from
roofs and trees (always use a telescope rake and stand a safe
distance away), winterize any exposed waterlines including hose
bibs.

Remember your health and safety should always come first, so
don’t be afraid to ask for help. Always try to stay ahead of the
heavy snow falls by shoveling multiple times before it builds up
and becomes too much to handle. Have a wonderful holiday
season!
