So I came home from work the other day and found this little package simply hanging from our door knob handle. It was telling us that our Smart Meter had been installed and that at this time nothing would change.

We were very happy with the technician that attended our home on Saturday to service our hot water heater. The technician was extremely polite, did an excellent job and was great to deal with!

Dennis was very impressed with our timely service when they found themselves with a 20+ year old furnace which was suddenly inoperable. As Dennis said, our technicians came in, got the job done and even worked past 6pm on a Friday to complete the new furance installation and ensure the couple had heat for the weekend!

Gordon called our shop and asked if we wanted to hear any complaints, he was politely told no with a little chuckle. His response was phenominal! Gordon said he had absolutely nothing to complain about. He said our 3 technicians did a wonderful job, he was very impressed with them and would certainly be using more of our services in the future.

Congratulations to those of you who were able to take advantage of the Home Renovation Tax Credit as the deadline is this weekend! It may not seem like a huge amount – but for something that you had to do in your home anyway – please do take advantage of this and ensure you have all of your receipts ready for your accountant at tax time!

What a winter we have been having! During these cold months when our heating system is operating all the time, we want to be sure that our system is not only operating properly and efficient but that the rest of our home is as efficient as it can be as well. Afterall if there are air leaks in your home, your heating system will be operating that much more and harder to keep up with the temperature your thermostat is set at.

For some excellent tips for not only your home, check out this link Every Kilowatt Counts – Tools and Tips . There is a wealth of information for your home, appliances, offices, lighting, pools etc!

We hope you all had a very relaxing and fun filled Christmas season and happy new year!

The clock is ticking on getting your renovations complete if you want to take advantage the Home Owner Tax Rebate ! We hope if you are taking advantage of this you also had an energy audit completed on your home as well to receive more incentives from the government.

With all the snow we are getting, along with no heat calls, there are a few things you as a home owner can check before you call us to ensure we have all the proper information:

-Check your vents outside to ensure they are not blocked (or full) of snow
-Its good if you know the Make and Model of your heating system
-Age of your heating system
-Has the filter been changed recently?
-Is it possible the breaker went off?

Also be sure if you are going away for longer than a day or two to have someone checking your home, all it takes is for something to go wrong with your furnace (or simply the snow plug the vents and the furnace go off) and if left for too long the pipes could freeze and burst causing a lot of damage. – Better to be safe than sorry! –

We have just completed some office renovations! Come in and check out our new show room with furnaces, an HRV, fireplaces and literature on whatever you could need for your home Plumbing or Heating related!

Take care and stay warm,

The Home Comfort People

NOTICE : There is a company going around town today called MorEnergy. They come to your door and tell you they need to see your water heater to upgrade it. This company is NOT affiliated with us nor with Reliance (which is the company we do hot water heater repairs & installations for). This is an out of town company and you are under no obligation to let them into your home or show them your appliances. The Chamber of Commerce has been notified as it is unknown if this company has a permit to be doing this in town.

So far the start to the winter isn’t too bad. Unless your a cold and snow lover (unlike me). Id rather enjoy the beautiful mild weather, snow isn’t bad as long as its not bitter cold! With this mild weather its good to ensure your sump pumps are working properly, especially if we get snow and then a thaw, easiest way for water to get into basements and for flooding to happen if you aren’t prepared!

Have you booked your Furnace/Heating System for a Fall Clean and Service Check-over? Preventative maintenance is the best way to ensure you wont get stuck in the cold. Although there is never a guarantee something may fail, its always best to have it checked and serviced at the very minimum every 2 years.

Today is World Toilet Day, a perfect time to stop and remind ourselves what an important role plumbing – and the rest of the mechanical industry – plays in proper sanitation and health. So whether you’re in plumbing, hydronics, HVAC or refrigeration, take some time to pat yourself on the back today.

The World Toilet Organization (WTO) has declared Nov. 19 World Toilet Day, a day to raise awareness about the necessity of toilets and sanitation in developed and developing countries. According to the WTO, lack of access to proper sanitation kills 1.8 million people, mostly children, per year. In Canada, sanitation systems protect us from such vulnerability, but as a result it becomes easier to take this luxury for granted. According to the Canadian Toilet Organization, Canadians use 65 per cent of their indoor home water in the bathroom and flush one third of it down the toilet.
