Here's what you need to do right now to get your home ready for the cold months ahead. Number one, inspect your heating and air system. Number two, keep all the vents open. I know we all have that room in the back. The junk room with the stuff in it will close the door. We don't want people to see it. Leave the door open. Leave the vent open. Let the air get back to return. Number three, disconnect your hoses from outside. Number four, if it's freezing outside, you need to keep your faucet on. It can be a slow drip. It doesn't need to be like a steady stream. What I do at my house is open the cabinets under the faucet. That way the heat from the house can attack those lines and you don't have a freezing problem. How do you get your home ready for cold weather? Leave a comment below, let us know.
