There are a few important things to look for when choosing an HVAC contractor. Whether you are installing a new furnace or simply looking for a reputable company to maintain or repair your existing equipment. How long have they been in business? If it is a new business, there is a fair amount of risk you take on when hiring them. Do they have the experience needed to ensure a professional job is done and also, will they have the […]
Chimney’s used to be a regular addition to every home here in Manitoba for the heating appliances. It used to be that all the furnaces and water heaters used a metal lined chimney to exhaust the flue gases up and out. As time went on and technology got better, the necessity of a metal chimney became less and less mainstream. Electric water heaters became more popular and they no longer needed chimneys at all. Natural gas furnaces became more and[…..]
There are many dishonest HVAC companies out there. If you’re not careful, you could risk losing a lot of good money to bad advice. Sometimes the company itself has good intentions but they entice their employees to sell, sell, sell! They set sales goals for their service technicians and place large incentives for their employees to argue why a system needs replacing instead of a simple repair. Bad advice? How can you tell the difference? These are good questions. Sometimes,[…..]
Being in business as long as we have, we remember when you were able to apply for government rebates wherein the government would reward a homeowner for replacing their old equipment with newer, more efficient systems.

Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) have become pretty popular within the last decade and are mandatory on all new home builds or large renovations on your home in Manitoba. Question is, why? Especially when the home you bought never came with one and you’ve been getting by without one so far. So why bother? Are HRV’s worth it? Although there are many answers to that question, perhaps the best answer is: Yes, it can improve your quality of life. We spend[…..]
Well, even though it’s still cool out, I think it’s safe to say that summer is coming, and not a moment too soon IMO. Which means it’s time to put away the snow shovels and pull out the rakes and mower. Although there are a lot more things going on outdoors, there is some housekeeping indoors that needs attending to as well. Some people turn off their humidifiers and turn the humidifier dampers to “Summer” where applicable. Others close all[…..]

In the event that what you are hearing is a loud buzzing noise, it[…..]
