Tips For Your Home’s Cold Weather Preparation

Surge-ProtectorThe chilly weather is here! And as we head into low temperatures, there are a lot of things you could do and should think about to save energy and be safe in the spirit of cold weather preparation:

  1. Review your space heater’s safety instructions.
  2. Use surge protectors or whole-home surge protection. Ice storms happen, protect your wiring and appliances.
  3. Seal up windows and doors with weatherstripping or window treatments.
  4. Insulate your chimney or install the proper airflow controls.
  5. Repair cracks in the roof and ensure your attic is properly insulated.
  6. Use a water heater insulator or insulate hot water pipes to maintain your water’s heat and ease stress on your hot water heater.
  7. Be aware of vampire drain and how it impacts your home’s energy use.
  8. Be sure you have proper outdoor lighting. If not, get some installed. Slip-and-fall problems are very common, especially in icy and dark conditions.

Contact us to learn how we can help you with whole-home surge protection or light fixture installation!
