If your pipes are not insulated, consider purchasing some affordable pipe insulation at your local hardware store. 2. Keep your thermostat on a consistent temperature, and if you are going away, keep it at least 55°F in your house. 3. Keep the garage door closed. 4. Regularly open your cabinets to circulate warm air. 5. Let faucets with exposed piping drip to keep pressure down. 6. If you have short sections of exposed pipe, heating tape can be a good solution. 7. Inspect your home and seal up any cracks or holes. 8. Keep your interior doors open to circulate warm air. 9. Consider installing a freeze alarm or a hot water circulating pump to monitor and control water temperature. 10. Install extra insulation for those particularly cold spaces where you have pipes exposed to the cold.
