PREPARING FOR COLD WEATHER
Now is the time to begin preparing for the cold winter months!
Insulating or wrapping your hot water heater can make a significant savings in your energy bill. The water heater doesn’t have to work as hard when insulated, saving you money by avoiding premature replacement. Insulating wraps for water heaters can be found at any well stocked hardware store.
Be sure to turn off the water supply to any outside faucets or water lines, or to lines that run in unheated spaces. Water lines which must be kept “active” can be protected from bursting with inexpensive electrical tape. When temperatures drop, it warms the pipes. Make sure that the electrical tape is UL approved and install according to the directions.
And last but not least, disconnect, drain and store your garden hose to avoid winter weather damage.
