How Do I Prepare My North Nashville Home For Winter Storms?

12/18/2023 (Permalink)

Freezing temperatures, icy roads, communication service losses, and power failures are all expected during the winter months in North Nashville. Avoid damage to your home and any dangerous situations by always being prepared!  

What Are Some Winter Preparation Tips For North Nashville Homeowners?

Here are some winter storm preparation tips you can use to keep your North Nashville home ready for whatever comes:

• Install weather stripping to seal your windows and doors to regulate the interior temperature by keeping the cold air outside.  
• Check your chimney or flue if you plan to use a fireplace or a wood stove for heating. Find an inspector online or ask your local fire department for recommendations.
• Keep blankets and other heat-generating materials in storage! If you have extra blankets, coats, an emergency phone charger, and coal (if you have a wood-burning stove), you’ll stay warm this winter, even if your power goes out. 
• Research the best generators; this is key because winter storms often bring many other issues, such as precipitation and wind, which can easily down power lines, causing your heat to go out. Having a generator onsite and ready to go during an emergency will allow you to save any foodstuffs that might spoil if the power goes out. 
• Invest in a sump pump in case of flooding. A battery-operated sump pump will kick on and pump for hours or days when the power is off, keeping water out of your basement.
