Tips & Tricks
Always disconnect garden hoses from your outside faucet before the cold weather arrives to prevent the line from freezing. Not only will your hose freeze, but water lines can also freeze and burst inside your home!
Turning your conventional water heater off when you are not at home usually will not save energy and can shorten the life of the appliance.
Cold Start heating boilers not only save you money on your heating costs, but they can also help keep your home cooler in summer by running far less frequently.
Check the operation of your sump pump frequently before emergencies occur.
To avoid frozen water and heating lines, set your thermostat a little higher than normal, open cabinet doors to allow air flow, insulate exposed piping on exterior walls and, in emergency cases, allow faucets to drip slowly until the freezing risk has passed.
