I still remember checking my email and seeing a response from the Our Homes Magazine team wanting to see photos of the custom built home we did the Plumbing and HVAC in… I was stoked! Be sure to watch for the Wellington County Fall Edition of the Our Homes Magazine to see the wonderful write up about the contractors who worked on this home, yes including JJ McLellan & Son.

Over the months that our technicians did work at this home I continued to hear more and more about it and the enthusiasm in their voices was just contagious! Everyone wanted to hear more about it, the guys all wanted to talk about it and talk about how much fun it was for them to do something out of the ordinary. For example each washroom was different, different fixtures, colours etc. The kitchen had a variety of stations, appliances and the finishings are just beautiful! The guys also put in the septic system for the plumbing.

I was lucky enough to get a few tours of the home by both our guys and the home owners. I loved going when the guys were there and having them show me what they each thought was awesome. Our plumbers of course were so very proud of the custom shower in the mastersuite as well as the other washrooms each with their own distinct look and then in the kitchen all of the cool features and finishes. Our heating tech’s were just as proud to show of their pride of the home… the mechanical room!

And where better to start than the true “heart” of the home, where everything mechanical is housed and runs. The mechanical room that our tech’s are so very proud of ! The mechanical room is for both the heating and cooling for the home as well as the hot water. The home has infloor heating in both the main floor and downstairs as well as geothermal (for heating and cooling). The infloor heating in the basement provides and excellent and very efficient way to keep the “chill” out all year round!

Next up some of the work our plumbers are extremely happy with!

May be a “standard” shower but an upgraded more custom shower head system!

“Her” side of their custom walk in shower
At first I will be honest I thought really, does a married couple really need that big of a shower or an end for each other. After seeing the shower, my opinion has changed quite dramatically. Its genius really! I know my husband and I both use different products and there is only so much room on the shelf and the rest is on the floor of the shower… I would LOVE to put in a shower like this in our master ensuite!

Isn’t an IN the wall dishwasher genius ! I want one thats for sure 😉

AND… as if the quality of workmanship and materials/finishings wasn’t enough inside – the true cherry on top! Our door living space including an outdoor kitchen, bar, bbq, table and chair set and of course for after eating a couch!

With all of these germs floating around infecting everyone … including my own son… What better topic to blog about than a HRV Ventilation System for your home! Such as the one in the photo above…

Ventilation Systems for the home or business are also referred to as an Air Exchanger or a HRV – Heat Recovery Ventilator. HRV stands for Heat Recovery Ventilator. Essentially what this appliance does is “exchanges” air within your home and outside with a continuous supply of fresh air from outside while removing stale air from the home.

The air exchanger can help remove more than just stale air, within the air is fumes from various products within your homes including new products or cleaning supplies, pet dander, pet odour and odours from the bathroom & kitchen. Also for anyone with any type allergies or asthma this can help them breathe cleaner and easier in the home.
