The weather is starting to turn, but smart preparation for the winter can make the next few months nothing more than a minor inconvenience. When you know you have all you need to get you through to spring it makes it far easier to handle what’s going on outside and enjoy the things that really matter to you.
Although Wayman Services Liquidation Centre specializes in brand-name mattress sales, there really isn’t anything Wayman doesn’t provide. This month we’re highlighting a few items that homeowners may consider to help cushion the impact of winter and ease their way into a stress-free spring.
Say good-bye to shovelling with a gas-powered snow thrower
A weekly special we are proud to offer right now is the Briggs & Stratton 27 Inch 250cc Dual Stage Gas Powered Snow Thrower. It starts with the touch of a button and features a friction disc drive transmission with six forward and two reverse speeds.
Snow throwers are ideal for Calgary weather and those with larger properties — especially a driveway. They are designed to handle Calgary’s frequent light to moderate snowfalls quickly and efficiently, so much so that you may just become your neighbourhood’s local snow angel. Much lighter than two-stage machines, snow throwers are easy to maneuver and perfect for clearing sidewalks, driveways, and pathways after typical overnight accumulations. Its LED headlight is extremely helpful for the dark winter mornings. Calgary’s dry, powdery snow is exactly what snow throwers perform best with, allowing you to clear surfaces fast without the bulk or cost of larger equipment. Their smaller size also makes them easy to store in smaller garages.
The Briggs & Stratton is a top-of-the-line make of snow thrower that is very well reviewed and comes with a three-year warranty.
The many benefits of a portable generator
A portable generator is one of the smartest, most versatile investments you can make for winter — and really, for any season. We all know about the odd blackout that happens that leaves homes without heat, lighting, and essential appliances. A portable generator provides an immediate, reliable backup source of electricity to keep your furnace running, prevent frozen pipes, and maintain communication during an emergency.
Portable generators are also incredibly useful beyond winter. They’re ideal for summer camping and cabins, plus powering tools away from electrical outlets. They are a practical solution for anyone who wants dependable power at all times.
Right now we have a Westinghouse Portable Generator WGen9500DF that operates on either gasoline or propane. This generator has 12,500 peak watts and 9,500 running watts, which can power a surprising amount of your home. In typical houses it should be able to run your furnace, refrigerator, microwave, lights and electronics, a kettle or coffee maker, even your garage door opener simultaneously, plus many other appliances intermittently.
Put up your feet and relax
Once we’ve all made it through winter, it’s time to put up your feet and relax. We have a super functional Patioflare Ivan Conversation Set available with a loveseat bench, two single chairs, and a coffee table that features a 5mm tempered glass top. This set is available in either black wicker with grey fabric or brown wicker and beige fabric. The Patioflare sets do exactly what their name says: inspire conversation and time spent outdoors. Best of all, they are hardy enough to make it through a Calgary winter — just make sure to keep the cushions inside.
