DIY Home Safety: Must-Do Winter Prep Projects

Winter months mean earlier sunsets, heaters running longer, and decorations everywhere — so home safety becomes top priority.

Check smoke detectors

Replace batteries yearly — and units every 10 years.

Install carbon monoxide detectors

Any home with fuel-burning appliances needs one.

Protect outdoor outlets

Weatherproof covers prevent ice, corrosion, and hazard.

Secure cords and lights

Especially with kids, pets, and holiday traffic.

Space heater safety

Keep heaters 3 ft. away from curtains, bedding, or furniture.
