Not only that, inclement weather can make handling repairs difficult, because it’s hard to get crews to work in freezing temperatures.
It’s a good idea to winterize your building, to reduce the likelihood of damage occurring.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when winterizing your building:
- inspect your furnace and heating systems – it’s obvious optimally functioning heating is vital to your building’s health.
- calibrate thermostats by adjusting to a cooler temperature that’s still comfortable
- inspect doors and window for small cracks, so that your heat doesn’t literally escape out the door
- inspect the roof for damage, to ensure no issues through the harsh Winter
