What’s a New England winter without a snow storm? While the falling snow can turn your neighborhood into a winter wonderland, the last thing you want is for it to wreak havoc on your home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
As with any snow storm, it’s best to steer clear of the roads. With that said, it can be difficult to reach an HVAC service provider to come out to your home once the storm is in full swing. That’s why we’re here to ensure you and your family are prepared to prevent any of your home’s central systems from turning a cold shoulder.
When the snow starts falling and you experience an HVAC, electrical, or plumbing issue, give HomeX Remote Assist a try. Rather than waiting through endless dial tones to reach a home service provider that might not even be available, Remote Assist connects you with an expert technician over the phone or through video chat to diagnose and potentially fix your issue virtually.
Ready to get the (snow)ball rolling when it comes to preparing your home for a New England winter storm? We’ve outlined some preventative actions to help keep your home and family safe and warm:
Now that your home is prepared, you need to make sure your family is too! A major winter storm in Rhode Island or Massachusetts can keep you from leaving the house for a few days. Here are some things you can do to make sure your family is safe inside:
Remember your family is there to help! Make sure everyone knows where all your emergency kits and equipment are located so you’re all on the same page. It may seem like you’re over preparing, but a major winter storm can escalate quickly. Once schools are cancelled and roads close, you’ll be glad you were ready ahead of time. When your family is inside during a storm, it’s time to relax and enjoy your time together!
Experiencing a problem with your home’s HVAC, plumbing, or electrical systems during the winter? Connect with a HomeX Remote Assist expert via a phone call or video chat right away! They’ll provide a free diagnosis of your issue and if they’re able to fix your issue virtually, it’ll cost you $50 or less––the fraction of an in-home service fee. If you’re a member of our Home Advocate membership, this service is free to you.
Winter can be full of snowy surprises. HomeX Remote Assist can help prepare you for any home emergency before, during, or after of the snow storm, especially when you’re unable to reach your home service provider.
