If your furnace breaks down in the middle of winter, it is important that you do whatever you can to keep your home comfortable and safe while you wait for a repair technician.
Below are tips for staying warm and protecting your home if your furnace breaks down in the middle of winter:
Use a space heater (if the breakdown was not a result of a power loss)
Use a wood or gas fireplace
Open kitchen and bathroom cabinets to prevent pipes from freezing
Leave your faucets dripping to prevent water from freezing
Gather your family in one room to generate more heat
Keep all your doors, windows, and curtains closed to insulate your home
