Protect Your Home! During below-freezing temperatures, take preventative measures in your home to keep your pipes from freezing.
- Maintain a steady, warm temperature on your thermostat. Do not change the temperature on your thermostat from day to night like you may in warmer temperatures.
- Open bathroom and kitchen cabinets. Often, the pipes that freeze are located near an outside wall or a window and are in an area of the home that does not receive direct sunlight. This directs warm air to cold areas in your home.
- Let cold water from exposed pipes drip. A small amount of water running through your interior pipes can prevent them from freezing.
