Winter is on the way!
Before the snow piles up, here are a few reminders to enjoy the long winter season safely and in comfort:
• If you haven’t already, insulate any exposed pipes under your house with foam insulation.
• Drain outside faucets.
• Repair or replace the weather stripping and thresholds around doors and windows.
• And this next one – have your furnace inspected and cleaned by a professional annually – should really have been done by September 1st to avoid the rush around this time of year. Avoid the stress of turning on your heat only to find it doesn’t work, as well as any delay in comfort should parts need to be ordered. And for our customers with service contracts, let’s get this done by July 1st!
• Another common issue…check your thermostat to see if it’s working properly. That way it can be fixed prior to needing it. You may even want to consider a Wi-Fi thermostat to monitor your home’s temperature from wherever you are, right from your smartphone.
• Check outside vents and exhaust pipes to make sure they are clear of debris and insects. Once snow starts to accumulate, continue to check these outside vents and exhaust pipes to make sure they are always clear of snow and ice.
• Clean return air register filters to help improve air quality and increase the efficiency of your heating system.
• Make sure your heating oil or propane tank is full.
• Have your dryer vent cleaned by a professional to discard buildup and help prevent overheating.
• Storms can knock out power for days. A dependable backup generator automatically restores power to lights, water, appliances, heating source and your security system, too – whether you’re home or away. Keep fridge and freezer running to prevent the loss of the contents. If you have a portable generator, make sure to use it properly outside your home.
• Look into a tank monitor so you don’t get too low on heating fuel.
• If you’re leaving your home for an extended period of time, consider a freeze alarm to alert you when temperatures drop dangerously low.
• Call right away if you are without heat, have a gas leak, or frozen or burst pipes. We are available to our customers 24/7, 365 days a year for fast, reliable emergency service!
