1. Insulate your home: Have a contractor inspect your insulation to ensure it is adequate to keep cold air out and warm air in. They can also seal any gaps or cracks that may compromise the insulation.
2. Weatherize windows and doors: A contractor can help you weather-strip your windows and doors to prevent drafts. They can also apply caulking around window frames and exterior doorways to further seal any air leaks.
3. Check and maintain the heating system: Schedule a maintenance appointment with a contractor to inspect your heating system, clean or replace air filters, and ensure that it is working efficiently. This will help keep your home warm and prevent any breakdowns during freezing temperatures.
4. Protect your pipes: Hire a contractor to insulate exposed pipes, especially those in unheated areas like basements, garages, or crawl spaces. They can also apply heat tape or install pipe insulation jackets to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.
5. Prepare your outdoor spaces: Ask a contractor for assistance in preparing your outdoor spaces for a freeze. They can help drain and winterize irrigation systems, cover outdoor faucets with freeze-proof covers, and protect plants or sensitive landscaping from the cold.
