Icicles Hanging from a Frozen Pipe

When an Arctic Blast comes to San Antonio.  When the high temperature is called to be in the low 20’s with a low near 15 degrees.  Is your home ready to withstand the blast?

Here is a simple checklist of items you can do to prepare for the cold:

• Have your HVAC system checked if you have not already done so.  An HVAC system failure in freezing temperatures is not only an uncomfortable inconvenience but could lead to frozen and ruptured pipes.
• Clean your chimneys to remove soot build up and prevent a possible clog. Smoke blowing back into your home can make a real mess.
• Test your smoke and CO2 alarms to make sure they are working and have charged batteries.
• Make sure all outside plumbing including hoses, lawn sprinklers. and pool equipment is off and pipes are drained.
