Winter is here, and freezing temps are coming at us! We want to help make sure your home stays safe and cozy this season. Here are a few quick tips to prevent frozen pipes:
• Insulate exposed pipes: Wrap outdoor and garage pipes/ spigots/ hose bibs with foam insulation or an old towel; and if you have not already, detach all external hoses.
• Keep faucets dripping: Let a small trickle of water flow, especially in colder areas of your home.
• Open cabinet doors: Allow warm air to circulate around indoor pipes under sinks.
• Keep the thermostat at a consistent temperature throughout the day, even if you’re away.
