Cold Weather Preparedness & Precautions || Dayton, OH
Every year, cold weather presents a very real threat to people who own homes, and, businesses. Extreme cold weather can have long-lasting effects on people who aren't ready for it. Many homes and business owners have to deal with the financial fallout until spring and beyond. By taking precautions before the arrival of cold weather and winter storms, you can avoid unpleasant surprises.
Prepare Your Home or Office for Cold Weather
Living comfortably in cold weather requires cold weather preparedness and precautions. Preparing your house or workplace for cold weather can ensure your heating system is running smoothly and save you money on maintenance_
Schedule a Heating System Inspection: Get your heating system checked by a professional before the winter weather sets in. They can diagnose your system for flaws and offer repairs or suggestions as necessary.
Check & Replace Air Filters: When your heating system has to work harder to provide the same amount of heat, the result can be increased energy bills and even harm to the system itself if the air filter is dirty or clogged. Be sure to check your air filters frequently and replace them if necessary.
Seal Air Leaks: Your heating system could have to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature if the air is leaking through cracks around windows and doors. Weatherstripping and caulking can help seal air leaks and keep warm air inside.
Insulate Your Home/Office: It is possible to cut heating costs and keep the warm air inside by installing insulation in the attic, walls, and flooring. Make sure you have enough insulation and add extra if required.
Protect The Pipes: Pipes that freeze could result in costly repairs to your home or business. To keep your pipes from freezing in extremely cold weather, you can insulate them.
Install A Thermostat: In order to better regulate the temperature of your home's heating system, you need to install a programmable thermostat. Put it on auto-temperature when you leave the house or business.
Emergency Kit: In case of a power outage, you should have an emergency kit assembled with items such as blankets, flashlights, batteries, and a portable phone charger.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your home or office is prepared for cold weather and reduce the risk of heating system breakdowns or emergencies.
