If your family is looking to hunker down for the winter, The Lakes at Centerra has provided a new home checklist, with the seven things you should do as soon as you move in.

1. As fall settles in and winter quickly approaches, it’s important to check your air filter and plan to replace it every 30 days.

2. You should also set up a yearly maintenance plan with an A/C specialist. This will ensure that your A/C grates will be consistently cleaned, allowing you to save money on your energy bill each month.

3. The Lakes at Centerra is a safe and secure neighborhood, and we encourage all residents to make sure their alarm system is hooked up to a monitoring service.

4. Check out your electrical box and make sure it is labeled accurately so you know exactly which zones are hooked up to each breaker.

5. Asses which light bulb sizes are used throughout your home and stock up on replacements. Doing so now will allow you to have backups all winter long.

6. Conveniently located between Fort Collins and Denver, The Lakes at Centerra is a lifestyle community where residents have everything they need within reach. Set out and visit nearby places to get integrated in the community. Some suggestions include:
   • Get Outside: Parks, lakes, open areas and miles of trails are on-site for connecting with friends, family and the natural beauty of the environment.
