I am a big believer in extended warranties for anything worth saving for… furniture, heating & cooling equipment, large appliances, vehicle and yes even my camera. I can personally advise from experience how beneficial an extended warranty can be for YOU!
My personal experience comes from when we bought our new living room furniture 3.5 yrs ago, we invested in the fabric care warranty (with kids and a dog it was a must!) AND the furniture we bought came with a 5 year warranty on the mechanical components of the recliners. Last night I sat on the couch, extended the foot rest and the entire seat of the couch twisted. With the extended warranty there is no worry about out of pocket expenses, we are covered and new parts will be delivered and installed! We also have had to use the fabric care warranty with marker stains on our couch… lovely budding artists we have đ
With our Complete Care Warranty we can offer you complete peace of mind and home comfort for 10 years! Your parts and labour are covered. The only thing you need to do is regularly maintain your system – just like your vehicle!
Give Mike a call for more information 1-866-565-5513 . We can provide warranty on brand new and/or existing equipment!!!
Did you know that for LESS than $140/month OAC, you can have a brand new Lennox Furnace, Lennox Air Conditioner AND new Lennox Thermostat installed in your home – and all of this comes with a 10 year parts AND labour complete care warranty!
Thats right!
The beauty of this is with SNAP Financial you can make extra payments or larger lump sum payments or even pay off the account at any time with NO penalities!
Save money on your utilities, do not worry about touching your emergency fund AND get money back in your pocket with the rebates !!!
Here at JJ McLellan & Son we have been in business since 1948… we are here for your complete Home Comfort for all your Plumbing & Heating needs!
*NEW Lennox Fall Rebates begin September 10th!!!
When is the last time you pulled out all your furniture to vacuum behind and clean under?
We did just that tonight. Thankfully my husband is very understanding and used to my rearranging urges and ideas, tonight while doing so he flipped the couch and lazy boy’s over so I could clean under – WOW! Its hard to believe that we did this exact same cleaning in the Spring and how much dog hair, dust and “stuff” (oh stuffing too from dog toys) we found behind the couch and under it as well as the chairs.
Pulling out the furniture also gave me another chance to vacuum out the cold air return – which remember isn’t supposed to be behind any furniture, ours is behind a side table and has room for air flow yet still gets dog hair and dust all over it!
Just think… what we find behind and under our furniture is only a portion of the dust, hair and dirt that doesn’t make it through the vents and into the heating and cooling system! Unfortunately cleaning behind this furniture even 4 times a year, or more, still won’t stop dust, dirt etc from going into and through your system.
So when is the last time you cleaned or changed your filters? When is the last time you even checked your filters? Or how about the last time you had your heating and cooling system cleaned and serviced? Did you know that many manufacturers do specify that the equipment must be serviced yearly or if it isn’t it could void some or all of your warranty! Car manufacturers do this too, if you’vd never had an oil change on your vehicle and something happens, why should they cover equipment that was never properly maintained. Your home or business heating and cooling system is very much the same! Some insurance companies also state the equipment must be maintained yearly by a trained professional.
Did you know a dirty filter could even choke out the heating system, yup even your furnace has to breathe!
I’m sure many of you, like us, enjoy opening the windows and doors to let the fresh air in, especially on these gorgeous cool nights! Living in a small rural town dusty roads are common, even on roads that are paved, with doors and windows open we let in not only the gorgeous fresh air but also dust and dirt. Some of this dust and dirt you will not even see, unless you change or clean your filters!
I bet I could guess what pops into your mind, yeah I’ve thought of it, I know we need to do it but we are busy, I haven’t had time to call, I’ll get around to it, I’m sure its fine, it can wait. Unfortunately for some of our customers this is what they thought, and when does the furnace or heating system break down… when its cold or when its a holiday! Christmas 2011 we had a customer with 4 young children without heat, with a “builder standard” furnace in their almost brand new home and sick of “dealing with it”, we rounded up a bunch of heaters for them to get them through the afternoon and evening until the very next morning, bright and early a new (and much quieter) Lennox Furnace was being installed.
Of course $h*t happens, we all know that. But if you could decrease your chances of having a break down in the middle of heating season and perhaps prevent a very costly repair or even replacement, its worth it!
Help your family breathe a little easier and help your heating system run much more efficiently and economically! Always use a licensed gas technician (or properly trained electrical hvac technician for your electric furnace) to clean and service your equipment. Remember, you as the home owner have a right to know that the gas technician is licensed and works for a reputable and insured company!
Give us a call at 1-866-565-5513 to book your annual cleaning and servicing. OR don’t wait until business hours, drop an Email For Service, Repair or New Install email to Pam or Mike, if you are thinking of a new install, and we would be happy to accommodate your needs and requirements!
At JJ McLellan & Son Plumbing & Heating We Are The Home Comfort People Who Service What We Sell & More!
A locally owned & operated business for over 60 years and 4 generations of family!
 As a woman growing up in a plumbing and heating family business Ive heard my fair share of horror stories over the years! One thing that is for sure is that for a woman it is so very beneficial to have some sort of a clue when it comes to your plumbing system in your home!
After all… we all know “A Royal Flush Is Better Than A Full House!”
Although I lived as a child with my father who was a plumber and heating technician (and…etc) I never really paid THAT much attention to how things work until I had my own house. For one thing the old homes in town have REALLY old pipes that need to be replaced in a lot of homes – our first home was one of them, I was so glad to get rid of those old galvanized pipes – over time they built up on the inside, flaked off gross things and our water pressure was awful! We had the pipes replaced and amazing how much better the water pressure, flow and colour was – such a difference!
Being new to country living now having a well and septic this very hot dry weather we have been having has certainly been something to be mindful about with water.
Even certain plumbing issues within the home which may seem small or simple, could actually be your worst nightmare! A small leak – which can typically be detected during routine cleaning can be your biggest warning sign – seeing water on the inside of your bathroom vanity or under your kitchen sink, never assume its just by chance. Within my own home again, while cleaning under the sink I found our drain had been leaking, thankfully it was an easy fix, however if it had been left much longer it could have begun to rot out the inside of the cupboard and work its way through the ceiling of the basement – which then becomes a huge, dirty and expensive mess! Did you know even a small hair line crack in your bathroom basin drain (silver part) can cause a lot of damage! Did you know even if your toilet ran a very small amount this small issue could infact be using wasting many gallons of water!
It truly pays to hire a professional! Did you know that even as the home owner you could be liable if a handy man gets hurt at your home?! Yup its true! If you hire someone to do work, it does not matter that you have hired them, what matters is if they actually have WSIB coverage and insurance. If they don’t … you are on the line for any accidents OR damage which could happen due to the repair or install. Of course everyone is not perfect, yes even pros’ can have a slip up or make a mistake, this is where having business insurance is smart!
Take a walk through your basement, become familiar with where the pipes run, where your plumbing appliances are (softener, hot water heater etc), do monthly checks of your faucets and drains to ensure there isnt any leaks or cracks. If you live in the country and have a septic system, find out where it is, figure out when it was last pumped, do not wait until you are in an emergency situation to call for help!
Preventative Maintenance is a very valuable investment as a home owner, very common with vehicles, however over looked by many property owners.
Give us a call at 1-866-565-5513 or 519-323-2000 and speak to Pam to book your preventative maintenance appointment where we will send a qualified plumber out to do a thorough inspection of your plumbing system.
