WINTER NEWSLETTER  PEEL STANDARD CONDOMINIUM CORPORATION NO. 887 60 FAIRWOOD CIRCLE, BRAMPTON

Tips for Snow Birds With winter already here, many of us want to escape the cold temperatures and travel south. But before we do, it is important to remember some simple housekeeping tips before getting on the airplane: Unit Temperature: Keep your heat ON! We see it all too often. A Homeowner goes on vacation and decides to turn off the heat to save a few extra dollars. The temperatures fall and the pipes freeze, burst, & the unit floods. Please keep your heat on at moderate level to avoid any incident involving frozen pipes! Hosebibs: Turn off your hosebibs. Locate the shut off and cut off the flow of water for the winter. With temperatures dropping below zero, this should be completed as soon as possible.

CO Kills/Idling Cars in Garages With new requirements in effect Oct 15, 2015 every unit with Garage MUST have CO detector. In addition ALL units must have CO detector on a same level where your Furnace is. Idling cars in Garages is never a good idea. Shall you intend to warm your car please open garage door or  move outside. It is the responsibility of homeowner to have all Smoke and CO Detectors in good working order. To ensure your detector is working please do a test by pressing a test button on the detector and follow instruction on it to know if your equipment is faulty.

Garage Door Closures A quick reminder to residents to close your garage door. As the temperatures drop, rodents and pests will look for a warm place to call home. In addition to the risk of pests, it is again, unsightly for the community when garage doors are left open for weeks at a time. This also jeopardizes safety of your and your neighbour’s property.
