At home, you can take a few simple steps to winterize: blow out sprinklers to prevent frozen pipes, drain hoses and shut off exterior valves, and seal doors and windows to keep the warmth in. Don’t forget to service your heating system, replace filters, and insulate your attic and pipes for extra efficiency. For safety, never idle your car in the garage, test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and stock up on essentials like flashlights, batteries, and blankets. A little preparation now helps ensure a safe, cozy, and worry-free winter.
