Winter-Ready Rentals: Keeping Hudson Valley Properties Cozy and Safe
Winter in the Hudson Valley brings beauty — but also unique challenges for property owners and tenants. At Millbrook Property Management, we focus on keeping homes safe, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout the colder months.
1. Heating Systems and Inspections
Before temperatures drop, ensure furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps are serviced. Clean filters, check thermostats, and schedule professional inspections to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
2. Preventing Frozen Pipes
Insulate exposed pipes in basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Remind tenants to keep the heat above 55°F even when away, reducing the risk of costly water damage.
3. Exterior Safety and Snow Prep
Check walkways, handrails, and exterior lighting. Stock up on ice melt and coordinate snow removal plans to keep tenants safe and protect your liability.
4. Communication is Key
Keep tenants informed about winter policies and emergency contacts. At MPM, proactive communication prevents stress and ensures homes stay cozy even in harsh weather.
With careful preparation, your Hudson Valley properties can weather the winter safely while keeping tenants comfortable and happy. Millbrook Property Management is here to help you every step of the way.
