How to Keep Your House Safe in Extreme Cold

It's chilly outside. In preparation for potential below-freezing conditions, most of the nation is layering up. While the experts are always available to assist, we have some HVAC and plumbing "honey-dos" that can help you stay out of trouble during the winter.

• Cut off those water connections outside.
• Make sure to insulate outside fixtures and exposed pipes.

• With a slow drip, pipes in sinks and bathrooms near exterior walls inside the house won't freeze.

• To keep warm air moving around pipes, leave those cabinets under sinks open.

• Maintain a minimum temperature of 68 degrees inside (and warmer if possible).

• Check the operation of your home heaters to get them ready.

• Make sure to open any vents that are closed in empty rooms.

• If your furnace won't heat up, call the experts for heating repairs or think about installing a new furnace.

• Give your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors a brief inspection, last but not least.

Use these simple suggestions to keep your plumbing and HVAC systems warm and functional. Then prepare some hot cider for yourself. Additionally, HVAC Repair Guide Experts are available to you as usual. Please call if you have any queries, difficulties, or concerns.
