Keep reading to learn more, then contact us now to get the help you need.
Insulate Pipes Where Appropriate
One of the most important things you can do to prevent your pipes from freezing is to insulate them in places that are prone to cold temperatures. Pipes that are exposed to the cold are more likely to freeze, so insulating them will help keep them warm and prevent them from freezing.
If You’re Leaving, Set Your Thermostat Appropriately
When you’re home, chances are your thermostat is set in such a way that it keeps you nice and warm. If you’re leaving for the holidays, it may be tempting to turn the thermostat off, but it’s best to keep it at at least 55 degrees. This helps keep your home warm enough while also keeping energy bills low.
Disconnect Outside Hoses
It’s easy to leave a garden hose connected outside when the weather is warm at the beginning of winter. After all, you might still be watering your lawn! However, it’s important to disconnect your hoses when you’re done using them to prevent your pipes from freezing. Hoses that are left connected can freeze and burst, which can cause serious damage to your home.
Know Where Your Water Shut-Off Valve Is
In the event that your pipes do freeze, knowing where your main water shut-off valve is will help you quickly shut off the water to your home and prevent further damage. If you can’t remember, now is a good time to do some exploring and make sure you know exactly where the valve is located.
