Freezing Pipes in Furnace Room

With winter here, the Corporation wants to advise you of the following issues:

• We all have to be aware of the danger of pipes freezing if we do not keep the door to the furnace room off the balcony closed tightly at all times.
• Keep items away from the exterior wall of the furnace room so the air from the furnace can circulate properly to the pipes.
• If you are going away for any extended period of time, keep your thermostat set to 20 degrees in your unit as this also keeps the furnace room from freezing up.
• Do not disconnect the power or the gas from your unit at any time in the winter or the pipes will freeze.
• Owners will be responsible for damages caused by the pipes freezing in the furnace room. This area is your duty to maintain and keep warm.

We have already had a few freeze ups.
