Winterize Your Ottawa Home: 5 Essential Tips to Prepare for the Cold Season ❄️
Ottawa’s winters are picturesque but come with unique challenges for homeowners. To ensure your property stays protected and comfortable, consider these five essential winterization tips from the Perhar Team:
1. Seal Drafts to Preserve Heat and Reduce Costs
Examine windows and doors for any drafts. Well-sealed windows not only retain warmth but can also reduce heating expenses—a win-win for comfort and savings.
2. Inspect and Prepare Your Roof
Clear any debris and check for loose shingles. Ottawa’s heavy snow can be tough on rooftops, so reinforcing yours now will help you avoid damage during the icy months.
3. Schedule a Furnace Check for Efficient Heating
A well-maintained heating system can keep you cozy even in the coldest days. Scheduling a furnace check-up ensures that your heating system runs smoothly and efficiently, saving you from costly repairs down the line.
4. Clear Gutters to Prevent Ice Dams and Water Damage
Autumn leaves may clog gutters, so give them a good clean to prevent ice buildup, which can lead to costly water damage when snow begins to melt.
5. Winterize Outdoor Areas to Protect Pipes
Drain all outdoor faucets and store garden hoses to avoid frozen or burst pipes—a common winter issue. Simple steps can make a big difference in protecting your home’s plumbing.
