How to prepare your home for winter

Updated: 3 days ago

Quebec winters put homes to the test. Proper preparation helps prevent leaks, energy loss, and storm-related problems.

Here are some essential steps to take before the cold weather arrives:

Check the caulking — poorly sealed doors and windows can drive up your energy bills.
Clean the gutters — clogged gutters promote water infiltration and ice dams.
Insulate exposed pipes — especially near exterior walls, to prevent them from freezing.
Test heating systems — heat pump, baseboard heaters or furnaces must be ready before the first frosts.
Protecting entrances and terraces — anti-slip mats and clear access improve safety and comfort.

A house that's well prepared for winter means less stress... and fewer unexpected expenses.
