The holiday season is a time for joy, warmth, and gathering with loved ones—but it’s also a season when freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on your home. To help you protect your property and enjoy a stress-free holiday, here are 5 tips to avoid frozen pipes this winter:

1️⃣ Keep the Heat On: Even if you’re away for the holidays, keep your thermostat set to at least 55°F to prevent pipes from freezing.

2️⃣ Open Cabinet Doors: Allow warm air to circulate around plumbing by opening cabinets under sinks, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.

3️⃣ Let Faucets Drip: A slow drip keeps water moving in your pipes, reducing the chance of freezing.

4️⃣ Seal Drafts: Check windows, doors, and any areas where cold air can enter. Seal them with weatherstripping or insulation to keep the cold out.

5️⃣ Insulate Pipes: Use foam pipe insulation or heat tape on exposed pipes, especially those in unheated areas like basements, garages, or attics.
