es, there are several steps you can take to prevent your pipes from freezing:

• Keep your house temperature at 68 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, even if you are leaving it for an extended period.
• Open cabinet doors under sinks and where pipes are located to allow warm air to circulate around the plumbing, especially if your pipes are in an unheated area.
• Insulate pipes in colder areas like basements, attics, and garages with pipe insulation or heating tape.
• Seal leaks around doors and windows to prevent cold air from entering.
• Let cold water drip from a faucet served by exposed pipes during extremely cold weather to help prevent freezing.

Signs that you may need to replace your water heater include:

• Age: If your water heater is over 10-15 years old, it might be time for a replacement.
• Rusty water: If rust-colored water is coming from your hot water taps, this could indicate the inside of your tank is rusting.
• Noise: Rumbling or banging sounds from your water heater can indicate buildup or sediment hardening at the bottom of the tank.
• Leaks: Any moisture or pooling water around your water heater suggests a leak, which often means the inner tank has failed.

Various noises from your heating system can indicate different issues:

• Banging or popping noises can be due to thermal expansion of ductwork as air flows through it.
• Whistling or hissing sounds might suggest air leaks in ductwork or a clogged filter.
• Rattling noises could be loose panels needing tightening. If these basic checks don’t resolve the noise, it’s best to contact a professional as it may indicate a more serious problem.
