Prepare Your Facilities for the Cold Months Ahead
As temperatures drop and winter settles in, it’s critical to ensure your facilities are ready to handle the challenges of colder weather. Preventative maintenance during the winter months not only protects your property but also minimizes unexpected downtime and costly repairs.
Areas of Preventive Maintenance to Focus On:
- HVAC Systems
- Schedule routine inspections to ensure heating systems operate efficiently.
- Replace air filters and check for leaks or unusual noises.
- Plumbing Protection
- Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and bursting.
- Test water heaters and ensure proper temperature settings.
- Roof and Gutters
- Clear leaves and debris from gutters to prevent ice dams.
- Inspect roofs for damage or leaks that could worsen with snow.
- Snow and Ice Management
- Verify contracts with snow removal services.
- Stockpile salt, sand, and other de-icing materials.
- Emergency Preparedness
- Test backup power systems and ensure fuel supplies are adequate.
- Review safety protocols with your team for handling power outages or extreme conditions.
