Many of you in the North East may be wondering where winter went with the unusual mild temperatures we’re having right now… Well, you might want to ask people in Colorado (or even people in Europe!) how they feel as a massive snowmstorm hit them last week…
A few rules apply when faced with such a snowstorm, like taking shelter, but it’s even better when you have time to prepare before it hits your house and your family… Following Charles W. Bryant’s path and his 10 Ways to Survive a Snowstorm, we decided to create our own little guide to survival during a blizzard:
Protect your roof and gutters: nobody wants their gutters to collapse because of snow or ice dams! Fortunately, you can install one of our Roof & Gutter de-icing cables which can help you protect your roof from ice dams and snow buildup.
Clear the way to your house: imagine having to shovel snow in the blizzard? No thanks! For your safety and ease of mind, use our Snow-melting cables or mats to make sure you have a clear and safe driveway or path to enter or exit your house, especially in case of emergency.
Make sure your pipes won’t freeze: The worst thing that can happen is not having potable water because of a broken pipe… Don’t worry, with our Self-regulating cables, you can rest assured your pipes, whether metallic or plastic, will stay warm and never freeze.
Insulate well: think of your house as a shield against the extreme conditions outside and make sure it is well insulated! Our insulation boards WIB insulate your house efficiently as they prevent heat loss and allow you to save energy.

Metro News readers can’t say they weren’t warned! In today’s edition, an article revealed the dangers of dreadful snow shovelling!
A recent study from researchers at Queen’s University in Kingston (Ontario), published in the journal Clinical Research in Cardiology, revealed that many patients with heart problems experienced the first symptoms after shovelling snow. An article published by Harvard University further explains how sudden exertion, such as shovelling, can put a big strain on the heart and make blood more likely to clot, which can lead to an heart attack.
Protect your heart, and your back, by NOT shovelling snow this winter! Warmup has your well-being in mind with our line of Snow-melting and De-icing systems can help keep your driveways and paths snow-free.
We are thrilled and proud to be featured in the Canadian home design TV show “Love It or List It“.
In each episode of the show, a couple is faced with the decision of whether or not their current home is the right home for them. With a list of what they would need to change in their current home, and what they would need in a new home, hosts Hilary Farr and David Visentin come in to try to help make the decision easier. Hilary attempts to win over the homeowners by renovating their current home, and David tries to find them the home of their dreams.
Our floor heating mats were chosen to heat the remodeled bathroom’s tile floor. The episode, in which David and Hilary face the Barrett Family, aired on November 2nd but you can catch one of the reruns on the W network and HGTV. Check their listings for more information and let us know what you thought of the episode!
