As temperatures drop across Eastern North Carolina, you must take proactive steps to protect your home during the cold weather. At Flagship Realty Group, your trusted Greenville property management and Goldsboro property management team, we prioritize keeping your home safe and comfortable, especially during winter. To help our tenants prepare, we've gathered essential cold-weather maintenance tips you can follow this season.
Essential Cold Weather Maintenance Tips
Change Your Air Filters | Regularly Clean air filters not only improve air quality but also help your heating system run more efficiently, ensuring your home stays warm while keeping energy costs manageable.
Ensure All Windows and Doors Are Securely Shut | Cold drafts can sneak into your home through improperly sealed windows and doors. Ensure all windows are fully closed and locked, and check for gaps around doors where cold air might enter.
Remove Garden Hoses from Hose Bibs | Disconnecting hoses from outdoor faucets (hose bibs) can prevent water from freezing in the pipes, which could lead to costly repairs. Remember to drain and store your hoses for the winter.
Open Cabinet and Laundry Room Doors at Night | On extremely cold nights, keeping cabinet doors under sinks and laundry room doors open can help warm air circulate around plumbing, reducing the risk of frozen pipes.
Drip Faucets During Extreme Cold | If temperatures are expected to drop below freezing, allowing a small drip from your faucets can help prevent your pipes from freezing. A slow, steady drip is usually sufficient.
