After a dry, dusty summer and with snow already piling up in parts of Maine, one thing’s clear: this winter isn’t going to take it easy on us. Early storms and colder-than-usual temps are already making headlines — and we’re just getting started.
Whether you’ve lived in Maine your whole life or are facing your first full winter here, now is the time to get your home winter-ready — before the next big storm hits.
Why Act Now?
-
Power outages are more likely. Heavy snow and ice can bring down tree limbs and power lines fast.
-
Temperatures are dipping earlier. That means your heating system is already working harder than usual.
-
Emergency services get backed up. When the snow really starts flying, appointments for heating, electrical, and plumbing issues fill up fast.
4 Things to Do Before the Next Storm
1. Get Your Generator Installed (or Serviced)
A standby generator can keep your home running — heat, lights, fridge, sump pump — even if the grid goes down.
2. Schedule a Heating System Checkup
Whether you use oil, propane, or a heat pump, now’s the time for a tune-up. Dirty filters and outdated thermostats can drive up your heating bill fast.
3. Check Windows, Doors & Pipes
Seal up drafts, insulate exposed pipes, and add weather stripping where needed. It’s a small investment that can prevent frozen lines and big energy losses.
4. Make a Winter Emergency Kit
Keep essentials on hand: flashlights, batteries, bottled water, non-perishable food, a backup heat source, and pet supplies. And don’t forget the snow shovels!
