Season Opening

Season opening is the process of preparing a second home for use after it has been closed for an extended period. It is typically the first visit after winter and requires a systematic walkthrough.

Season opening checklist

• Water: Open the main valve, check for leaks, fill the hot water tank
• Electricity: Switch on circuit breakers, check that everything works
• Heating: Start the heating, check the fireplace and chimney
• Inspect the building: Look for winter damage, moisture, mould, or pests
• Cleaning: Vacuum, wash, and air out
• Emergency equipment: Check smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits

Combine with a work day

Many co-owners combine the season opening with a spring work day where everyone meets to prepare the property together. It is both practical and social.
