🥶 Extreme Cold Weather Home Maintenance Tips 🥶
The recent cold snap is no joke, and your home feels it too! Proper maintenance during these freezing temps can save you money, protect your home, and keep everything running safe and smooth. Here are our top tips for keeping your home in tip-top shape:
1️⃣ Protect Your Pipes 🛠️
Let faucets drip to prevent freezing, and open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate around pipes, especially on plumbing located on exterior walls, or near known cold spots of your home or garage.
2️⃣ Seal Drafts 🏠
Check for drafts around windows and doors. A quick fix with weather stripping or caulking can make a BIG difference in keeping the heat inside.
3️⃣ Inspect Your HVAC 🌬️
Replace filters and ensure your heating system is running efficiently. Bonus: It helps lower your energy bill!
4️⃣Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors 🔥
Cold weather often means more heating appliances running. Stay safe by testing your detectors and replacing batteries if needed.
