Winter-Prep Home Checklist (Personalized)

Aim to finish winterizing by mid-November in most of Canada, before the first hard frost. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and a 6-month heating season are hard on anything that wasn't sealed, serviced, or drained in the fall.

High-efficiency furnaces and power-vented water heaters exhaust through a PVC pipe low on an exterior wall, and a snowdrift or ice buildup there can trigger a safety shutoff or, worse, push exhaust back into the house. Check and clear these vents after every snowfall — the same goes for the dryer vent.

For a boat or RV, drain every water system completely and either fog the engine/stabilize the fuel (boat) or add RV antifreeze to the lines (RV) — trapped water is what actually causes freeze damage. For a shed, clear the roof before snow load builds and move anything freeze-sensitive indoors.

A simple swap — tires already mounted on their own rims — runs $40-$80 for a set of four. A full changeover, where the shop dismounts and remounts tires on the same rims and rebalances them, runs $80-$160. Costco and Kal Tire tend to be among the cheapest options; a dedicated set of winter rims pays for itself in a few seasons by keeping every future visit a cheap swap instead of a changeover.
