HI there, I can use your tips on how you get your house ready for winter, I live in rainy OR where it is just about to turn from over 100 degrees to rain all winter, please tell me what I might need to do . I know I need to clean out gutters and is this true:
___ Close foundation vents. If you have opened your foundation vents for the summer to allow accumulated moisture to escape, now's the time to close them up again.

heat rises, so good insulation in the attic helps, and energy effecient windows...check for cracks and buy some caulking to fill in any you find...covering windows with the plastic that clings..it does work! You should also check around door and get new weather stripping if needed
Also, change the filter on your furnace so it is more energy efficient and get your chimney cleaned
Lastly, cover or remove window/wall air conditioners.

I have been using that removable squirt sealer to make sure that the edges of my windows are free from drafts. You put it on in the fall and it peels off like rubber cement in the springtime.
