To avoid frozen pipes and furnace failures, there are a few simple steps you should take:
- Keep your heat turned up
- Check that your furnace is working properly
- Replace your furnace filter
- Make sure nothing is blocking heat flow in your home
- Leave the cabinets underneath your sinks open
- Seal windows and doors to keep heat trapped in your home
- Make sure your fireplace is clean and ready to use
- Reverse the direction of your ceiling fans to pull heat downward
- Locate your water shut-off valves so that you can turn them off in case of emergency
