With only about a month away from the start of winter, that means this is the perfect time to weatherize your home. Here are some tips to make your home energy efficient.
- Install and set a programmable thermostat. You will save an estimated 10% per year on heating and cooling costs.
- Take care of your floors. Rugs and carpeting aid with heat retention, and they are more comfortable on bare feet, so cover your floors. You should also make sure any vents in your floors are unobstructed.
- Open your blinds. Choose window treatments that allow you to use natural light, to reduce heat loss. Drawing the blinds in summer keeps the sun’s heat out and opening them up in winter lets it inside.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING BURGLARIES THIS THANKSGIVING
If you are planning to travel during the Thanksgiving holiday, you most likely want to spend time with family without worrying about the security of your home. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to ensure that your house remains undisturbed while you are away.
The most important thing to remember is that you should make it look like someone is home. Here are some of the easiest ways to do this:
- Do not announce your plans on the internet or post pictures of you on vacation. If you want to let anyone know what you will be doing for the holidays, and specifically for Thanksgiving, send them private messages that are not broadcast on social networks for everyone to see. It is difficult to tell who can view your profiles sometimes, so it is better to be safe than sorry in case the information falls into the wrong hands.
- Take advantage of services that connect you to your security system. There are advanced security features that allow you to arm and disarm your system while away, and also control your lighting and thermostat settings allowing you to save money on your energy bill. These services keep you connected to your home from any web-enabled device, from anywhere in the world.
- Have a neighbor collect your mail and newspapers. Particularly at this time of year when packages with holiday gifts are being sent, it is a good idea to have someone remove these items from your porch so that passing burglars do not notice that they are piling up. That would be a good indicator that the house is unoccupied.
- Turn off the ringer on your phone. A phone that is constantly ringing and left unanswered will let potential intruders know the home is empty.
- Use timers for your lighting. A timer properly set up and connected to a lamp can easily create the appearance that someone is home.

It is unfortunate but true: You can’t trust just anybody who knocks on your door. Crooks posing as meter readers might sound like an urban legend, but the scam is still relatively common across the country.
Individuals might be trying to gain access to your home so they can steal your money or valuables, but there are other ways that meter-reading scams play out as well. For example, the thieves might knock on your door and tell you that your bills are past due, threatening to cut off your service if you do not make an immediate cash payment. Or, people posing as workers could simply ask to collect personal information, such as your name and social security number, which they then use to steal your identity.
Follow these tips to avoid scams:
- Ask for identification: This is important advice for any person attempting to access your home or property – ask to see their official photo identification, make sure it has the company logo, jot down their name and ID number, and if anything seems to be off, call the utility company to verify the person's legitimacy before allowing them to proceed.
- Check the uniform and truck: Utility companies want to make it easy for you to identify their employees. They should be wearing uniforms and driving a vehicle that displays the official logo.
- Know where your meters are: Many utility meters are located outside the home, so the person reading it has no reason to enter your home. If your electric or other meter is outdoors, but someone claiming to be from the utility company insists on coming in, keep the door locked and call the Sheriff's Department.
- Do not provide personal information: Some crooks are on the prowl for your identity, not your belongings. Never give out sensitive personal information to people claiming they work for the utility, no matter how convincing they seem.
By keeping up on your bills and generally being aware of your monthly charges, you can sniff out scams and avoid becoming a victim. If you are past due on payments, most utility companies will make multiple efforts to contact you via mail and telephone before a worker arrives to cut off your service.
Remember to always listen to your instincts. Do not hesitate to call the Sheriff's Department at (626) 330-3322 to report any suspicious activity.
