Thornbury is a charming harbour village known for apple orchards and artisan shops. Thornbury's mix of waterfront cottages and heritage homes means unique maintenance challenges — older plumbing, stone foundations, and lakefront exposure. ChaletGuard installs professional IoT sensors that monitor your cottage 24/7 — temperature, humidity, water leaks, air quality, and power. If something goes wrong, you get an alert and we coordinate a local contractor on your behalf.
$59/month + $599 one-time install
Your Thornbury cottage sits empty between visits. A furnace failure at 2am means frozen pipes and $20,000–$50,000 in damage — and you won't know until your next trip up.

Local Tip
Heritage homes along the harbour often have original plumbing from the 1940s–60s — freeze protection is critical since replacement parts are hard to source.
