Today I’m going to review with you the 8 ways I do to protect my home when the outside temperatures reach -30c (-22F).
Everything in my house is in good working order and I’ve already prepared for the arrival of the winter weather. Now, in the heart of the season, today it’s -30c, which is extreme cold and temperatures are it’s likely to go even lower. Once we hit this range, I have a new checklist and priorities which I run through daily. When it comes to home ownership here’s what to expect when living in such harsh conditions and what to watch out for.
1. The number one and the most important factor is keeping track of your sources of heat.
2. Let’s continue do this path of worse case, and if there is a power outage and you cannot heat your house. If this happens and the interior temperature starts to reach freezing, you’ll need to minimize the damages of any pipes freezing.
3. Speaking of pipes, I have one more I like to check. The outside facets have their own pipes to the main water supply. Mine is always off in the winter and I have frost free facets to prevent freezing. This mean the valve is inside, here.
4. Since I have my thermal imager out, I like to do a quick check inside to see if there are any drafts or areas in the walls lacking insulation and look for heat loss.
5. You may have noticed some ice on the windows. Here in the dry prairies, we have humidifiers and try to keep the internal humidity around 30-50% and that means heavy frost inside. Let’s look at these humidity impacts.
6. While we are here at the door, let’s look at the temperature around the base. Keeping out some of this cold can be achieved through adding some blankets and towels to the base of the doors.
7. Next, we need to run outside and do a quick check on all the services and look for ice buildup. Ice can interfere with the functionality of these utilities leading damages and carbon monoxide poising if they are not venting properly.
8. While we are outside let’s do a quick scan for heat loss and make notes of places we might need spray foam, insulation for later or just some blankets on the inside.
