Head for the sun. Your nest stays warm.
A weekly visit while you're away: heating, leaks, pipes, snow on the roof. A photo report after every visit, ready for your insurer.
What we check on every visit
The things that cause the big damage in an empty house in winter, and the ones insurers want to see looked after.
Heating and temperature
The system is running, the thermostat is at the agreed setting and the house is holding its heat.
Leaks and pipes
Under sinks, around the water heater and the sump pump. Taps run and toilets flushed so water keeps moving.
Snow and ice
Build-up on the roof, ice at the roof edge, walkways and driveway cleared.
Power and appliances
Power is on, fridge and freezer running, smoke and CO detectors quiet.
Doors, windows and exterior
Everything closed and intact, to keep the heat in and the weather out.
Photo and video report
After every visit you get a report with photos and videos in your portal, plus a visit log for your insurer.
How it works
The welcome visit
We walk through the house together: water shut-off, electrical panel, thermostat, your insurer's requirements. Reference photos and key hand-over.
$87 + taxes, one time.
Weekly visits
Every week, or as often as your insurer requires, we come and go through the full checklist. An extra visit after a power outage or a storm.
$45 + taxes per visit.
Your report, the same day
Checklist, photos, videos and notes in your client portal. If something is wrong, we call you first, then coordinate the plumber or electrician.
Portal included, in English and French.

In line with your insurer's requirements
Many Quebec home insurance policies limit coverage for water damage from frozen pipes when a house sits empty for more than a few days in heating season, unless someone checks it regularly.
Nid Chaud keeps a dated log of every visit, with photos, that you can hand to your insurer.
