Custom Home Plumbing

Our professional technicians enjoy working on custom projects such as this custom built home. The entire home has infloor heating on the main floor as well as throughout the basement and even in the garage. The showers are gorgeous with body jets and rain shower heads. The kitchen is a cooks dream. As the plumbers on site our men installed all fixtures in the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom's.

The home is not complete yet, however once it is the owners have ever so graciously allowed for me to come back and take photos of the rest of the bathroom's and the complete kitchen for fixtures we did install.

Government of Canada Takes Action to Improve Energy Efficiency

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Jan 29, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- The Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resources, today announced additional funding of $117 million over three years for the ecoENERGY Efficiency Initiatives. These initiatives will benefit Canadians directly by improving energy efficiency through Canada's building codes, new housing standards, industrial practices, vehicle labels and consumer appliances.
"This investment demonstrates our continuing commitment to advance clean energy technologies and make Canada a world leader in energy efficiency," said Minister Oliver. "Improving energy efficiency saves energy, creates jobs and increases energy security."
This new investment is in addition to an initial $78-million investment announced by Minister Oliver last September, bringing the five-year total for the initiatives to $195 million.
Minister Oliver also announced that the ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes program has successfully reached its goal of 250,000 registered homeowners. As planned, the program is no longer accepting new registrations.
To help ensure registered homeowners have time to get their post-retrofit evaluations and receive a grant, the Government of Canada is extending the deadline to June 30, 2012, for homeowners to complete post-retrofit evaluations and apply for a grant. All retrofit renovations must still be completed by March 31, 2012.
After launching the ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes program in 2007, the Government of Canada renewed the program in June 2011 with an investment of $400 million through the Next Phase of Canada's Economic Action Plan.
"The decision to provide time-limited funding demonstrates prudent management by our Government to ensure that we can return to balanced budgets during this time of fiscal constraint," said Minister Oliver.

Simple Steps To Keep Heating Costs Low

As we move from cool fall days into the winter months, you don’t have to spend a fortune on heating to keep warm! Explore ways to save with our top ten tips for a toastier home—minus the high price tag.

1. Schedule an HVAC professional to clean your home’s ducts before it’s time to turn on the furnace. Your system’s efficiency can be reduced by as much as 20% by damaged or blocked ducts.

2. Inspect your home for drafts flowing in from outside. Seal any leaks with insulation, caulking or weather stripping, and you can save up to 10% off heating and cooling costs.

3. Set your thermostat to 68°F while you’re at home, and as low as 60°F when you’re awake or asleep. For each degree the heat is lowered for at least eight hours, you’ll save as much as two percent on your heating bill.

4. Install a programmable thermostat to automatically reduce the temperature in your home while you’re at work. This simple step can reduce heating costs between 5 to 15 percent a year, depending on your climate.

5. Moisturize indoor air. The more humid the air, the warmer you feel. Adding humidity to dry, heated air in the winter helps you stay comfortable at a lower thermostat setting.

6. Change your filter once a month. Dirty filters require your home heating system to work harder, which equates to higher costs on your heating bill.

7. Upgrade your HVAC. An inefficient system can waste hundreds of dollars each year. Install a high-efficiency furnace like the SLP98V Variable-Capacity Gas Furnace from Lennox to reduce your bill dramatically.

8. Welcome sunny winter days. Opening curtains and blinds on sunny days can help to warm your home, especially on south-facing sides. Close curtains at night to reduce heat loss.

9. Cool down your shower. For every ten degrees you lower your water heater temperature, you’ll save 3-5 percent a year on the cost of warming your water.

10. Entertain a crowd. Each guest in your home is the equivalent of a 175-watt heater. The more the merrier!

• Clean or replace furnace filters every month.
