Are you ready to start saving money on your heating bills? Have you finally had enough of the BIG COMPANY’S telling you that you are going to have to spend hundreds even thousands of dollars to fix the heating problems in your home, to improve Air Quality in your home? • How long have you put up with COLD ROOMS in your home?• How long have you been dealing with ALLERGIES in your home?• How often

Just another thing for home owners to think about. Dryer fires are something we should keep inmind. Check with your insurance agent because I know here in BC Canada if a fire is traced backto your dryer and you are still using a plastic flex hose for exhaust your insurance will not cover your loses. The code now is an aluminum flex hose which runs under $20 and can be picked up at any hardware

Filters - DRIVE ME CRAZY! One of the most important elements of any H.V.A.C system is the filter. Service people and the manufacturers want us to run poor quality filters in our systems for one reason. So our furnaces BREAK DOWN before their time.Dirt, dust and allergens will kill blowers and blower motors in our systems. They are like computers. Huge dust magnets. Customers have been told to run

This is one of the reasons we get called out to homes. People thinking that rats have gotten into their heating duct system. I have,over the last few years, literally, been out on at least 100 calls for rats in a system. Out of these 100 calls I’ve yet to find rats inside a heating duct system. When i get to the home in question the answer is always the same; the smell is in this end of the house

I really can’t stress enough how important it is that when choosing a Power-Vac Company to clean out your heating system you get referals. I have been into too many homes where a company before me has not done what they were hired to do. Holes in the duct work are a must. Anyone can clean a vent/register out into the main duct work but what then. If there are no visible holes in the duct work it

I want to take a minute to let everyone know who visits my Blog exactly what I'm doing. Honestly, the first thing I am doing is promoting my E-Book, How to Save Money on your Heating Bill. But more importantly I'm trying to raise awareness on the importance of Indoor Air Quality. IAQ is a very real, very big problem in our lives today. IAQ levels in our homes and in our places of employment are

I just can't seem to get over what we, as home owners are expected to put up with. It appears that everybody just wants us to spend, spend and spend like we have a friggin money tree in our back yard.I'm here to tell you that we don't need to fork out bags of money to improve the IAQ in our homes or to make sure that our heating systems are working efficiently. A little is a must but we have to

Have you ever noticed that prices from contractors or tradesmen seem to be higher after they see the homes we live in. That after they see the size of the house they try to push more expensive repairs or upgrades onto the home owner. In my experience it seems that the nicer and the bigger the home the more the price of a job goes up. If we live a modest home it doesn't seem to change all that

Indoor Air Quality?Is this something you should be worried about?IAQ is for real.Do you or a family member suffer from itchy eyes,running noses or ahems in the throat?These are all IAQ related.In the late 90's a hotel in Philadelphia,PA was contaminated with Legionaires Desease which was directly linked to the heating duct work(IAQ)killing over 100 people.This was an extreme case but it happened

Are you ready to start saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your heating bill.I've written an E-BOOK on just that premise.As a home owner myself I realize how expensive heating bills can get especially if you are using oil.I don't want to give anything away but I would like to help as many people as I can save in today's harsh economy.I am a 47 yr old HVAC cleaner from Vancouver

I was out on a call yesterday 03/30/09. A beautiful house overlooking a golf course.Had to be worth somewhere around $1.5-$1.75 million.The cost was important to me because they had the same problems with their heating system as the rest of us do.Doesn't matter if you live in a 1300 sq ft house or 5000 sq ft house.Doesn't matter if your house is 60 yrs old or 6 yrs old.They had never had their
