❄️ Brrr… the cold is here, but keeping your home warm and safe can be satisfying! Here’s how we’re getting ready for the cold temperatures:
1️⃣ Letting indoor faucets drip and opening cabinet doors to keep our pipes cozy. 2️⃣ Making sure everyone knows where the main water shut-off valve is—in case of emergency! 3️⃣ Double-checking outdoor faucet shut-off valves are off and outside hoses are disconnected. 4️⃣ Cranking up the thermostat to a toasty 70°F, day and night. 5️⃣ Inspecting attic vents, sealing up drafts, and checking insulation everywhere. 6️⃣ Installing freeze alarms, adding electric heat to chilly rooms, and making sure all our outside lights are working. 7️⃣ Keeping anything flammable far from heaters and boilers, and giving the equipment room floor a fresh coat of paint to spot leaks early. 8️⃣ And of course, checking doors and windows for sneaky drafts!
