PREVENTING & TREATING FROZEN PIPES Frozen water pipes and leaks can quickly lead to disaster. Water damage can result in costly repairs, some of which may not be covered by home insurance policies.

Preventing frozen pipes and leaks is essential once the mercury starts to dip.

Water expands when it freezes, and if it expands enough, it can cause pipes to burst.

Yet, burst pipes do not usually occur directly where the ice is forming. Rather, the ice increases water pressure buildup elsewhere in the pipe, typically between the faucet or spigot and the ice blockage. Therefore, adequately protecting the entire length of pipe during cold spells can be necessary.

• Drain water from outdoor hoses and close inside valves supplying water to outdoor faucets. Keep the external hose bib open to let water drain and to allow for expansion should any water become trapped.

• Inspect pipes in areas that are unheated. Insulate any pipes located in these areas.

• Heat tape, pipe sleeves, heat cables, and similar materials can be used to protect exposed water pipes from freezing. Even newspaper can help insulate pipes.

• Keep garage doors closed when water supply lines are located in the garage.

• Open cabinets indoors to allow heat to reach pipes underneath sinks.

Real Estate Section 2

HOW TO INSPECT YOUR FURNACE BEFORE WINTER ARRIVES It is almost time to bid adieu to the warm days of summer.

Chilly afternoons followed by continually dropping temperatures are on the horizon, and fall is the perfect time to service the home furnace to ensure it is ready to withstand the demands of winter.

Furnace maintenance should be done on a regular basis.

The best time to do so is in late summer or early fall, when you still have enough time to address any problems before it gets too cold outside.

HVAC systems malfunctions are typically caused by one of a handful of common problems. Inspecting certain components can help to guarantee a furnace is in working order when the first cold days arrive.

Filter and air intakes After several months of running the air conditioning, the filter on the heating and cooling system may need to be

changed. Check the condition of the filter to see if it is heavily soiled. Furnace filters are relatively inexpensive.

Since this thin barrier will be responsible for cleaning the air you breathe, it is important to keep a fresh filter in the unit. A clogged, dirty filter will reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system and may contribute to poor indoor air and allergies.

Check the air intakes around the house for obstructions.

Do not place furniture directly in front of intakes or venting that delivers air to the home, as this can compromise air flow and force the unit to work harder. Without adequate air flow through the system, the furnace may not turn on.

Many systems also have some sort of external vent or exhaust pipe. Check that the area is free of leaves, debris and animal nests. Again, any blockages can impede the efficiency of the unit or cause it to fail.

Thermostat Very often a furnace may not turn over because the thermostat is faulty. Many a homeowner has spent money to have a service person come out to examine the furnace, only to learn they only need a new thermostat or battery in the thermostat.

Check the thermostat against a separate thermometer to ensure that it is reading the right temperature in the house.

Raise the setting a few degrees to test if the heat kicks on.

Fuel Furnaces are powered by various energy sources.

Electricity, gas or oil may be involved in the process. If fuel is not being delivered to the furnace, the pilot will not light and warm the air to be blown through the house. Some systems have an emergency shut-off switch that will halt fuel delivery to the unit.
