You survived the grueling hot summer, but are you ready for the winter? As the fall colors begin to show, now is the time to prepare your buildings for the impending colder weather. A few areas to think about as we head into winter would include the following:
- Perform a mechanical inspection on the heating equipment. Is your equipment ready to safely and efficiently run throughout the winter?
- Adjust or install timers or sensors to meet the changing daylight times. Make certain outside lights are set up for the shorter periods of daylight in order to provide safety lighting for your employees and customers.
- Check all outside wall hydrants and fixtures that need to be shut down or adjusted in order to avoid freezing that could lead to broken pipes and damage to your building. This includes removing all garden hoses from the fixtures.
- Install snow and ice melting equipment. There were numerous companies affected by snow and ice damage last year. Avoid costly repairs by updating rooftops, downspouts and gutters before the problems begin.
