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.

How can you tell the difference? These are good questions. Sometimes,[…..]

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.

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