You could turn up the heater on the tank a few degrees to get it up there, the fish should be fine if it's only 4 hours, i'd guess maybe the tank ... if it's bigger like around 40 gall will only lose 1degree a hour, i'd think. you ca always add warm water aswell but honestly they should be fine for that short of period. If your house is sitting nice and warm then the tank shouldnt be a problem

Rinse your filtermedia before plugging the filters back on and there shouldn't be any problems.

4 hours isnt all that bad. as mentioned, raise the tank temp slowly a couple degrees before they come. And then, when they shutoff the power cover the tank with a thick blanket and you'll be fine
