Protecting Your Home In The Cold

1) Disconnect all hoses from exterior faucets when not in use

2) Ensure heat is on in the home to keep water pipes from freezing...do not turn heating unit to "off" when away

3) Periodically check for leaks in and under your home

4) Allow faucets to barely drip when not in use if temperatures are expected to drop below freezing

5) In the event that heating unit is not working or if any leaks occur, please contact someone immediately to prevent further damage

6) Ensure space/kerosene heaters are free from obstruction

7) Ensure that fireplaces are free from obstruction (ie. decorations on mantles)
