Winter in West Chester brings freezing temperatures that can threaten both your plumbing and HVAC system. Frozen pipes can burst, and HVAC units may struggle to keep up during extreme cold. Taking preventive steps now can save you from costly repairs and maintain comfort throughout December and beyond.
Tips to Protect Your Home in Freezing Weather
- Insulate Pipes – Wrap exposed pipes in basements, attics, and crawl spaces to prevent freezing.
- Seal Drafts Near Pipes and HVAC Units – Cold air entering through gaps increases the risk of frozen pipes and strains your system.
- Maintain a Steady Temperature – Keep your thermostat at a consistent temperature, even when away, to avoid freezing conditions.
- Check Your HVAC System – Ensure your heating system is in good condition to handle cold snaps efficiently.
- Drip Faucets During Extreme Cold – A small trickle of water prevents pipes from freezing.
