Keep a snow blower or good shovel ready. Ontario winters can drop several storms' worth of snow in a single week.
Get ahead of the season while there's still time to seal drafts and stock up.
A clean furnace filter and a good air quality monitor keep the air comfortable through months indoors.
Insulation is the most cost-effective way to reduce heating bills and improve comfort in most Canadian homes. Whether you're topping up the attic, insulating a crawlspace or sealing drafts around doors and windows, the return on investment is immediate and lasting.
Heat rises, and an under-insulated attic is the single biggest source of heat loss in a typical house. The target for most attics is R-50 or higher.
Pipe insulation in unheated spaces like garages, crawlspaces and exterior walls is a direct defence against burst pipes during extreme cold snaps. It's inexpensive, easy to install and pays for itself with a single prevented repair.
Weatherstripping and door sweeps address the gaps that let cold air in at floor level and around door frames. Combined with window insulation film on older windows, these quick fixes make a noticeable difference in both comfort and heating costs.
Winter is a great time to refresh paint, lighting or flooring while you're spending more time at home.
Get seasonal gear organized now. A well-organized mudroom or garage makes winter easier to manage.
