St. Louis Survival Guide for the Severe Cold Winter Predicted

Much of the country experiences periods of severely cold weather and is susceptible to snow and ice storms. However, extreme conditions that can inflict considerable damage on homes happens to many homeowners. Standard homeowners policies will cover most disasters that result from a freeze—but when the weather outside is frightful, it's better to minimize the potential risks. Here are some tips to help you prepare for the cold winter ahead.

If you have ever wondered if your house was insulated well enough before, you likely will get the answer this winter! Now is the time to buckle down and get your home ready for the winter months ahead. Making sure your home is well insulated will ensure you are comfortable during the cold months and help keep a scary heating bill away.

Insulate your attic

Adding maximum protection to keep the heat in your house, and out of your attic space is key to keeping your home comfortable.  Insulate exposed pipes in your basement will have a large impact on your home, so that the warmth from the pipes isn’t heating the basement before it reaches your living space.

Maintain your furnace and HVAC system

Change your HVAC filters monthly, especially when the system is active during the winter. Not only will it help air quality, but you’ll also keep your system running more efficiently than it would if the filters were congested.

Assess your heating zones

If you have a second or third heating and cooling zone in your home, remember that they don’t all have to be set equally.
