Keep The Score in your favor all winter long with these 5 December home maintenance tips:

• Inspect attic insulation. If it’s level with or below your joists, you may need to add more.
• Clean your chimney and fireplace. If you have gas logs, compressed air clears away dust and soot.
• Check for drafts around exterior doors and replace weatherstripping or use a physical barrier if needed. 
• Put a few indoor and outdoor lights on timers. Added security and one less thing you have to remember. 
• Consider a security or doorbell camera. The holidays are rife with porch pirates. Plus, you can usually score a good deal this time of year.
