Change furnace filters at least once every three months. This can prevent heating failures.

Remove any hoses from hose bibs to prevent damage to your pipes.

If the overnight temps are below 20 F, leave the a little water running overnight (the smallest continuous stream possible). This will protect your water meter from freezing.

If you have a sprinkler system that has not been winterized yet, covering the vacuum breaker (the outside part that is above ground) with an old blanket and a tarp can help insulate it.

If your thermostat runs on batteries, replace them as needed - most thermostats will indicate when the batteries are low.
