Manitoba winters are renowned for their beauty and...well, their chill! As the temperature dips and snow starts to fall, here at Northtowne Properties, we want to ensure your apartment is ready to keep you warm and cozy all winter long.  Follow these essential tips to prepare your Northtowne rental for the frosty season:

Let There Be Light: Maximize Natural Sunlight

  • Open Up: Take advantage of natural light during the day! Open curtains and blinds to let the sunshine in, which can naturally warm your apartment and boost your mood during shorter winter days.

Let's Get Cozy:  Maximize Heating Efficiency

  • Filter Frenzy: Replace your furnace filter regularly. A clean filter allows your heating system to function efficiently, saving you money on energy bills.
  • Strategic Placement: Rearrange furniture to avoid blocking vents or radiators, ensuring optimal heat distribution throughout your apartment.

Don't Forget the Floor:  Consider Investing in Rugs

  • Warm Welcome: Area rugs add a touch of comfort and warmth, especially on cold tile or hardwood floors.
  • Safety First: Choose rugs with non-slip backing to prevent potential slips and falls.

Bonus Tip:  Stock Up on Winter Essentials

  • Having a well-stocked pantry and medicine cabinet can be a lifesaver during a winter storm. Consider keeping extras of non-perishable food, medications, and winter weather supplies on hand.
