Frost has shown up on our cars in the mornings, small puddles have began to form ice and the weatherman is calling for snow this week. Read the following prevention tips to help protect your home during these cold temperatures.
- Secure a reliable back-up power source
- Insulate light fixtures in the ceiling that are below a roof to prevent the release of heat
- Insulate all exterior penetrations
- Make sure weather stripping is adequate on all doors and windows
- Disconnect all hoses around the house and store indoors for the season
- Always keep indoor temperature 55 degreees or higher to help prevent freezing (especially while the home is unoccupied)
- Have heat cables installed on the roof if you have experienced ice dams in previous years.
