Winnipeg winters hit hard — but a little preparation now makes a big difference later. Here’s a quick checklist to keep your home warm, efficient, and worry-free before the first big snowfall.
🏠 Inside the Home
✅ Furnace & Heat:Change your filter, test your thermostat, and schedule a furnace tune-up before December.Vacuum around vents and make sure carbon monoxide detectors are working.
✅ Seal & Save:Use weather stripping or caulking to stop drafts around doors and windows.Reverse ceiling fans to push warm air down and improve comfort.
✅ Essentials:Keep a few extras on hand — furnace filters, batteries, flashlight, and blankets.A small emergency kit means peace of mind during those cold snaps.
🚪 Outside the Home
✅ Gutters & Water Lines:Clear eaves and downspouts so ice can’t build up.Drain garden hoses and shut off outdoor taps to prevent frozen pipes.
✅ Sump Line Maintenance:If you have a sump pump, make sure your discharge line is insulated or buried to prevent freezing.Check that water is flowing freely and away from your foundation — a frozen sump line can lead to basement flooding.
✅ Lighting & Safety:Check motion lights and replace burnt bulbs for those long winter nights.
✅ Driveway Prep:Install reflective markers along driveway edges to guide snow clearing and protect your lawn.Trim back any low branches near vehicles or paths.
