It’s hard to believe, with the record warm temperatures we have been enjoying, that in a few weeks we may have pipes bursting because of freezing. As winter approaches it’s time to prepare for the cold and snow.
If you have a sprinkler system, it needs to be turned off and drained before the temperatures dip below freezing.
If you have an evaporative cooler, the water line needs to be disconnected and drained. A cover over the cooler will help keep the winter cold out.
Outside faucets need to have hoses disconnected and some need to have the water turned off and drained.
It’s time to have the furnace filter changed and it may be good to have a professional do a check-up on the furnace.
Gutters need to be cleaned so that accumulated leaves don’t keep them from draining.
Spending a little time on these items will prevent repair bills later.
I would be glad to help you get your home ready for winter. You can reach me at 303-232-3347.
