Preparing Your Home for Winter in the Sea-to-Sky

Winter in Whistler, Pemberton and Squamish is serious business. A little preparation goes a long way.

Heating

Have your furnace or heat pump serviced before the cold arrives. Replace filters and test your system under load.

Plumbing

Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, and insulate exposed pipes. If your home is vacant for stretches, consider a low-temperature alarm.

Roof

Clear debris from gutters so melting snow can drain. If you have a steep roof, arrange snow-load monitoring or removal before it becomes an emergency.

Sealing

Check weatherstripping around doors and windows. Drafts waste energy and can cause condensation problems.

Emergency Contacts

Line up a plumber, roofer, and heating professional before you need them. We can help connect you with trusted locals.
