Temperatures have fallen and winter is in full swing so we have put together some tips for you to be better prepared. Please take a look below and don’t hesitate to share with any of your policyholders or tenants.
- Add a second layer of insulation to the attic.
- Caulk around windows and doors, install weather-stripping and check for cracks around electrical outlets and pipes.
