When temperatures are freezing outside there are so many things you can do to protect your home from the cold. Today we wanted to provide another tip on this topic. If your home is equipped with a sprinkler system then it is important to make sure that the system does not come on during freezing temperatures. Many newer systems are equipped with a freeze sensor that keeps it from turning on during freezing weather. But even if you have a newer home or a late model sprinkler system, it is a good idea to check if you have a sensor. If your system does not have a freeze sensor, be sure to watch weather reports during colder months so that your yard isn’t turned into an ice rink. If freezing temperatures are in the forecast be sure to turn your sprinkler system off. If your sprinkler system is equipped with a freeze sensor then you should not have to worry about your system turning on when temperatures drop below 32 degrees. Most older systems can be retro-fitted with a freeze sensor. Many cities now require that your sprinkler system be equipped with a freeze sensor.
