3. Seal Gaps: Caulk or seal cracks to keep cold air out where pipes run through walls.
4. Circulate Warm Air: Open cabinet doors to let heat reach your pipes.
5. Keep Water Flowing: Let faucets drip slightly to prevent freezing.
6. Stay Warm: Keep your thermostat at 65°F or higher—even if you're away.
