As temperatures continue to drop, we want to remind residents of the importance of keeping windows closed during freezing weather. Leaving windows open, even slightly, can cause significant maintenance issues—including frozen and burst pipes, heating inefficiencies, and potential water damage to your home.

Why Is This a Problem?

❄️ Frozen Pipes: Cold air entering through an open window can cause exposed pipes to freeze and burst, leading to costly damage and water loss.
🔥 Strain on Heating System: Open windows force your heating system to work harder, increasing energy usage and the risk of heating failures.
💧 Condensation & Mold: Cold air meeting warm indoor temperatures can lead to excess moisture buildup, creating the perfect conditions for mold growth.

What You Can Do

✅ Keep all windows securely closed when temperatures drop.
✅ Report any heating concerns (no heat, too much heat) to maintenance immediately.
✅ If you notice a frozen pipe, contact maintenance immediately.

By keeping windows closed and taking these precautions, you can help prevent costly damage and ensure a warm, safe home throughout the winter. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to our Maintenance team at (907) 753-1023, option 1.
