Be ready for the season ahead with these Fall preparation & safety tips.
S torm season can mean outages . Check your emergency kit and have a plan for extended outages.
When cleaning gutters or hanging holiday decorations, keep ladders and tools at least 3 metres / 10 feet away from overhead powerlines.
Prevent frozen or burst pipes by disconnecting / draining hoses before freezing temps arrive & insulate pipes in unheated areas like basements, garages, or crawl spaces. Know the location of your water meter in case an emergency shut-off is needed!
Fall is the perfect time to test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms before heating season. Remember to never use a generator indoors or near windows/vents.
