Ready? Set? Go!
Get ready for winter, because it’s inevitable. Some people love winter, snow, and all things cold. Other people would just assume sit inside by the warm fire with a good book. Whatever your preference, make sure your home is ready.
10 Things to Do to Get Your Pellet Stove & Home Ready for Winter
- We’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you to get your scheduled pellet stove maintenance done, parts ordered, and fuel ready to go!
- Clean out your outside vents to make sure they are free of leaves, debris, etc.
- Change your furnace/fan filter to make sure you are circulating clean air.
- Reverse your ceiling fan blades to push heat down off high ceilings.
- Test your battery back-up.
- Change batteries and test your fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Check your starter gel supply if you manually start your stove or fireplace
- Find your ash vac and attachments, make sure it is empty and ready to go
- Dust off your manual and have it ready to troubleshoot, if needed. Or print a replacement manual here.
- Create at least a 3 foot “Kid-Free” zone around your stove or fireplace. Position furniture far enough away. Store books, toys, and other enticing items far away from the fireplace.
