Furnace season starts this week in the GTA. The person you want is the one your neighbour has used for nine years and never had to call twice. That name is sitting in somebody's phone three doors down, and there is no way to ask for it. That is the whole problem we are working on.

Ever been burned by a pro with hundreds of glowing reviews? The reviews weren't lying — they just couldn't tell you what your neighbour knows. Pros We Know is the private version: your contacts' actual picks, not strangers' ratings. prosweknow.ca/go/x?s=107

Storm's moving through southern Ontario tonight — Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, the GTA, Durham. For after it passes, in order: 1. Treat every downed line as live. Report it to your utility; keep kids and pets away. 2. Generators and BBQs stay outdoors — carbon monoxide has no smell. 3. Photograph ALL damage before tarping or cleanup. Your insurance claim depends on the before pictures. 4. Call your insurer before any repair company. Emergency tarping and board-up are fine — full repairs wait for the adjuster. 5. Be careful with door-to-door repair crews tonight and tomorrow. Cash-deposit demands and sign-now pressure are the red flags. The right pro is the one someone you know has actually used. Stay safe out there, Ontario.
