However, I can totally see how doing this NOW can be far more cost effective (out of season buying) and make it easier to install/repair anything since it won't be freezing out! Also, some of these tips, like sealing the windows, should help lower cooling bills as well. Good pointers!

I have also found that making sure all my electrical outlets on exterior walls are insulated makes a big difference. You can get foam gaskets for this purpose cheap, and they're easy to install. This is also a great time of year to make sure your snowblower is working and tuned up- if you need parts or repairs, good luck getting them quickly after the first big snowfall hits! Great tips!
