Temperatures are expected to keep dropping this week and that can lead to problems around the house.

There are some easy solutions that can help heat your home for less.

At Lowe's they sell roof rakes, which are basically extra long rakes to remove snow and de-icing cables that help keep snow from building up.

There are also a variety options to keep pipes from freezing like foam, wrap or electrical heating tape.

Some other easy tips to prevent the pipes from freezing include letting the faucet drip and leaving the cabinet doors open.

Some of the solutions cost less than one dollar or more than one hundred dollars depending on the project. Experts say the investment can be a big saver in the long run though.

“The little money that you spend now compared to not spending it can save you thousands and thousands of dollars,” says Alex Winder from Lowe’s.
