❄️Winter Storm Alert! ❄️A cold, snowy weather system is headed our way—time to prep your home to stay cozy and avoid any surprises!Here are 5 quick tips for your Plumbing and HVAC systems:

1.Detach those hoses! If you haven't removed garden hoses from outdoor faucets yet, do it now to prevent freezing and bursts.

2.Steady your thermostat. HVAC units can struggle in extreme cold—skip the energy-saving setbacks and keep it at a constant temp for reliable warmth.

3.Protect your pipes. For plumbing on exterior walls, open cabinet doors to let warm air circulate. If any faucets have frozen before, let them drip slowly overnight.

4.Seal in the heat. Close blinds and curtains to trap warmth inside. Feel a draft under exterior doors? Roll up a towel and place it at the base.

5.Backup plan ready. Have a safe, reliable space heater on hand for emergencies—just in case!
