Winter in Alberta is no joke. No matter how many prairie winters you've survived, the cold always catches you off guard—both for your body and your home. But don't worry, there are ways to make your space feel cozier this season without needing a full winter wardrobe.
**Turn up the heat (smartly)**
When that first cold snap hits, it can really change the vibe of your home. If you're noticing cold spots or uneven heating, consider using a space heater to warm up specific areas without overdoing it. However, don’t crank up the thermostat too high—it won’t warm your house faster, just make it uncomfortably hot. A smart thermostat could be a great solution, allowing you to manage different zones in your home. Keep main living areas warm while letting other spaces like basements or guest rooms stay cooler.
**Don’t forget your car**
Alberta winters can be tough on vehicles. A block heater is a game-changer, helping prevent engine strain and making starting your car easier. Plus, many modern block heaters come with mobile apps, so you can control them from your phone. That means you can start your car remotely before a long trip, saving energy and time.
If you’re looking for something more permanent, Rümi can install a garage heater. It’s an investment that pays off during those long, cold months.
**Avoid frozen pipes**
Frozen and burst pipes are a common and costly problem in Alberta. When temperatures drop below -6°C, pipes can freeze and crack, leading to expensive water damage. Here's how to protect your home:
- **Insulate pipes**, especially in unheated areas like attics, garages, and basements.
- **Seal cracks and openings** around your home to prevent cold air from getting in.
- **Use heating tape** on accessible pipes to keep them warm.
- **Cover crawl spaces** with foam and duct tape to reduce cold air exposure.
During winter, keep garage doors closed, open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate, and let faucets drip slightly to prevent ice buildup. Also, maintain a consistent temperature on your thermostat and never turn off the heat if you're away.
**Warm up from the inside**
There’s nothing better than a hearty meal to bring some warmth into your home. Blue Flame Kitchen offers delicious recipes like three-onion soup, hot butterscotch cider, and steaming casseroles that will keep your family cozy all season long.
**Stay safe and comfortable**
When the temperature drops below -15°C, it’s time to stay inside. Rümi is here to help with snow removal, shoveling, and applying eco-friendly ice melt. We take care of the hard work so you can enjoy winter with family and friends, not stress and maintenance.
With a little planning, you can make this winter as enjoyable as possible. Let Rümi help you tackle the tough tasks so you can focus on what matters most: staying warm and having fun.
