March arrives, and most homeowners think about gardens. They plan which flowers to plant. They check whether the lawn survived winter. They rarely think about what winter does to their plumbing system.

That's a mistake.

Winter stresses pipes. Cold temperatures, freeze-thaw cycles, and shifting ground place enormous strain on the systems carrying water through your home. Spring is when these stresses reveal themselves. A pipe that survived January might fail in March. A joint that held all winter might suddenly leak. Hidden damage becomes visible.

A towel warmer turns a simple bathroom upgrade into everyday comfort. It keeps towels dry, prevents damp smells, and adds a touch of warmth that makes each shower or bath feel more relaxing. The right towel warmer fits the space, matches the home’s heating setup, and delivers steady heat without wasting energy.
