It’s Texas, but you still need to winterize your home. We’ve had hard freezes a few times in the past 5 years that can end up being very costly if you don’t plan ahead. Here are some simple handyman tips to get you started.


  1. Isolate, and drain or insulate exterior faucets and exposed water lines
  2. Keep a slow drip on faucets and lines not drained
  3. Replace damaged weatherstripping on doors and windows
  4. Trim, water, and then cover plants
  5. Turn down the heat and wear layers
  6. Replace the furnace filters
  7. Clean the flue, ensure its open and stock up on wood
  8. Reverse ceiling fans
  9. Clean the dryer vent
  10. Shrinkwrap windows for added savings
