Podcasts about winterizing

While falling snow may look pretty, it can also be pretty dangerous for drivers. Winterizing your vehicle is a good precaution as it can save you money on car repairs and help you stay safe while on the road. If you own a car, here are some tips to get it winter-proof if you haven't already.

To counteract this, consider putting winter tires on your vehicle. You can use all-season tires during the winter, but when it gets cold, the rubber in these tires hardens, decreasing the grip on the road. Winter tires use a special compound that can resist the cold and won't harden. Winter tires also have better traction in snowy and icy road conditions, which means that they have better acceleration and are better at stopping than all-season tires. However, winter tires can be costly. Winter tires can cost over $600, plus you'll have to pay for the tire-swapping fees unless you do it yourself. A cheap alternative is putting chains on your tires to help with traction.  Regardless of what tires your car has, you'll want to check the tire pressure. Tire pressures drop 1 pound per square inch, or PSI for short, every 10 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the correct tire pressure for your car in the manual or on the car door jamb. Another way to get your car winter-ready is to have the battery tested. Your car battery is essential for starting your car. Colder temperatures can affect the chemicals in the battery, which may result in a car having trouble starting or not starting at all. Consider buying a portable jump starter for your vehicle in case your car doesn't start due to low temperatures. Next, you'll want to make sure you have good visibility while driving. Check your windshield wipers to see if they are working properly, and don't leave smudge marks on your windshield. Fill up your windshield wiper fluid too. You can also get a hydrophobic repellant to add to your windshield, making scraping ice and snow off your car windows easier. Headlights are another thing to consider when winterizing your car. Snow can cause limited visibility when driving, but having a good set of headlights can help you see better, especially during the dark hours of winter. If you've noticed that your headlights aren't as bright as they used to be, you should get a headlight restoration kit or replace them altogether.  You should have a winter emergency kit in your car. If you get stranded with your vehicle, this kit will help you get back on your drive or at least keep you comfortable while waiting for help to arrive. In this kit, you should include a snow shovel, a snow broom, an ice scraper, a portable jump starter, warm clothing, including hats and gloves, blankets, a first-aid kit, a basic tool kit, traction mats, and flashlights.  If you're considering buying a car that's more suitable for winter, look for one that has 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive. Vehicles with 4-wheel drive and all-wheel drive provide better traction on icy roads than front-wheel drive vehicles.  If you decide to buy a more winter-proof car, Triangle Credit Union offers auto loans tailored to fit your ride. If you get into an accident, Guaranteed Asset Coverage, or GAP coverage, is designed to reduce or eliminate the difference between the insurance settlement and the loan balance. This protects you from owing more than the vehicle is worth. Mechanical Repair Coverage, or MRC, can help limit unexpected, covered repairs as your vehicle ages, potentially saving you thousands of dollars.  If you're interested in either one of these coverages, contact the credit union or visit your local branch to learn more. If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Winterizing an RV is a critical task that can mean the difference between a smooth spring awakening and a costly repair bill. Eric Stark opens the discussion with a detailed examination of the common pitfalls that RV owners face when preparing their vehicles for cold weather. He emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation, explaining how neglecting to drain water systems or use RV-specific antifreeze can lead to catastrophic damage, including cracked pipes and ruined appliances. Throughout this segment, Eric provides listeners with practical tips to ensure their RVs are winterized effectively, including a comprehensive checklist that covers all essential components. This careful attention to detail is crucial for RV owners who want to protect their investment and enjoy their travels without the burden of unexpected repairs.The conversation then shifts to the joys of maintaining and enhancing an RV rather than trading it for a new model. Eric and co-host Alexis discuss how small upgrades and renovations can dramatically improve the RV experience. They share insights on budget-friendly projects, such as refreshing the interior with new paint or replacing outdated flooring. Alexis recounts her own renovation experiences, highlighting how these enhancements can make an RV feel more like a home. This segment encourages listeners to see their RVs not just as vehicles but as personal spaces that can be tailored to their needs and preferences, enriching their travels.The episode also introduces listeners to Guntersville and Mentone, Alabama, two towns that offer unique experiences for RV travelers. Guntersville, with its vibrant lakefront and local festivals, serves as a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Mentone, on the other hand, is presented as a quaint historical town with deep roots in the Cherokee Nation and Civil War history. Eric and Alexis emphasize the charm of exploring lesser-known towns, suggesting that these destinations provide more intimate and memorable experiences compared to larger, commercialized locations. By the end of the episode, listeners are not only equipped with practical winterization tips but also inspired to embark on new adventures, embracing the rich history and beautiful landscapes that smaller towns like Guntersville and Mentone have to offer.Takeaways:Proper winterization of your RV can save you from costly repairs in the spring.Consider local businesses for RV projects as they often provide better service and support.

In this episode the Handyman Pros give you 10 awesome tips to help you get your home ready for winter.  Winterizing your home is essential for protecting it from cold weather and saving on energy costs. Here are some tips for preparing your home for winter: 1. Seal Gaps and Cracks       Windows and Doors: Check for drafts around windows and doors. Use weatherstripping, caulking, or foam sealant to fill any gaps.     Attic and Basement: Insulate cracks in your attic and basement where cold air can enter.     Outlet Insulation: Place insulation pads behind electrical outlets and light switches to prevent heat loss.   2. Check and Service Heating Systems       Furnace Maintenance: Have your furnace inspected and cleaned by a professional. Replace the furnace filter to ensure optimal efficiency.     Chimney Cleaning: If you have a fireplace, clean your chimney to avoid fire hazards and improve heating efficiency.     Thermostat: Consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat to better control your home's temperature.   3. Insulate and Protect Pipes       Pipe Insulation: Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics, or crawl spaces to prevent freezing.     Drip Faucets: In extreme cold, let faucets drip to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.     Shut Off Exterior Faucets: Drain and shut off water supply to outdoor faucets and hoses to prevent freezing.   4. Inspect the Roof and Gutters       Roof Leaks: Check for any damaged shingles or roof leaks, as they can lead to costly repairs during heavy snow or rain.     Clean Gutters: Clear out debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams, which can cause water to leak into your home.   5. Insulate the Attic       Add Insulation: Increase attic insulation to keep heat from escaping through the roof. Proper insulation can save on heating costs.     Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and ice dams.   6. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors       Replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, especially when using fireplaces or space heaters.   7. Check Windows and Curtains       Install Storm Windows: Use storm windows or plastic window insulation kits to add an extra layer of protection against the cold.     Heavy Curtains: Hang insulated or heavy curtains to block drafts and retain heat.   8. Inspect the Fireplace       Flue Inspection: Make sure the chimney flue is properly functioning and free of obstructions.     Fireplace Tools: Have fireplace tools, kindling, and firewood ready for use.   9. Reverse Ceiling Fans       Reverse the direction of ceiling fans to push warm air down into the room. Fans should rotate clockwise during winter.   10. Prepare for Snow and Ice       Snow Removal Tools: Stock up on snow shovels, de-icer, and sand for walkways.     Emergency Kit: Prepare an emergency kit with essentials like blankets, food, and flashlights in case of power outages.   Winterizing your home helps avoid costly repairs and ensures you stay comfortable throughout the cold season.   Watch us on YouTube (click here) Subscribe to our free newsletter, https://handymanprosradioshow.com/newsletter-signup/ Join our Facebook group @handyman pros Send us an email, questions@handymanprosradioshow.com.

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, Marshall and Brian discuss various aspects of boat detailing, including winterization, maintenance, and the challenges faced by detailers. They explore the importance of educating customers about proper boat care, the realities of ceramic coatings, and the misconceptions surrounding sanding. The conversation also touches on the business side of detailing, emphasizing the profitability of washing cars and the value of training and education in the industry. Takeaways Winterization is often neglected by boat owners. Most boat owners do not take care of their boats after the season. Ceramic coatings are beneficial for winter storage. Detailing boats requires different techniques than cars. Education is key for customers to understand boat maintenance. Sanding boats is labor-intensive and not always profitable. Newer boats are easier to detail and more profitable. Washing cars can be a lucrative business. Training and education can help detailers improve their skills. Building relationships with boat dealerships can lead to more work.
