WINTER BREAK CHECKLIST

Apartment / house going to be empty?

Before you go…

•  AVOID FROZEN PIPES:

  •  Turn down the heat, but no less than 50°

  •  Drip a cold faucet slowly. It’ll cost you about $2 if you pay for water, but could save your pipes.

•  Take out the trash & don’t leave fresh food behind.

•  Test smoke alarms.

•  Check for fire hazards: stove/oven, candles, irons, hair curlers, space heaters, loose plugs…

•  Check all the windows & doors - lock up and close curtains.
