Why You Should Consider a See-Thru Fireplace?

See-thru fireplaces are a great addition to make to your home. The convenience of having 2 separate fireplaces for 2 different rooms will be less costly to installing to separate fireplaces in each desired room. Since the see through fireplace only takes one set of venting and one time installation it will be a much cost effective route to consider.

The more popular installation locations are between dining and living rooms, arguably the most occupied rooms of the home.
Other locations include between master bedroom and master bath, kitchen and living room, and between the living room and main entry way.

Why should I buy?

We already mentioned they’re less expensive than installing two fireplaces, but they’re also going to be less expensive in the long run.

With the heating technology of fireplaces these days, you can expect to efficiently heat two rooms with the one fireplace – which will be less money spent on fuel.

How should I design?

Some homeowners might worry about incorporating a design. While other homeowners not even sure how to begin their fireplace project. We have trained designers who are technically familiar with each fireplaces we carry – making it easy for us to suggest a see through fireplace based installation guidelines and building codes. We offer a fireplace consultation for this matter so home owners feel confident when choosing a fireplace for their project. Be sure to request an in-home consultation and design appointment today to get started.

Furnace Maintenance, Inspection & Cleaning!

­

Furnace maintenance can save you more than just your gas furnace. Also furnace maintenance and inspection can detect any carbon monoxide leak on a gas furnace. Plus an annual furnace tune-up could prevent a furnace break down middle of our cold winters in Ottawa. One reader sent me an email asking if this was really necessary – here’s his original question:

I have a question about furnace tune-ups.  You say get one every year – is that really necessary?  What do the HVAC guys actually do to the furnace to “tune” it up?  There’s no spark plugs to replace like a car tune-up, and my understanding is they basically vacuum out dust and inspect it.  Couldn’t the homeowner do this himself?  Or do I really need to pay $80-150 bucks every year for a professional to do it?

Are annual furnace maintenance, cleaning & inspections really necessary?  

Furnace manufacturers all recommend annual inspections and maintenance by a qualified technician.  They also have the wording in their warranties saying that damage to the units caused by improper maintenance is not covered under warranty.  Does this mean that an annual furnace check-up is really required, or the warranty is voided? Probably not, but it’s recommended.  The best analogy I can think of is going to the dentist every six months for a check-up and cleaning; probably not necessary, but recommended.

I’ve heard some HVAC contractors recommend getting newer furnaces checked every other year, but once they’re over ten years old, have them checked annually.

What do HVAC technicians actually do to the furnace to “tune” it up?

A few services you may have heard of are “safety check”, “certification”, “check-up”, “tune-up”, “basic tune-up”, “complete tune-up”, “precision tune-up” and “annual maintenance check-up.”

The services provided by different heating contractors will vary, depending on who you call and what you pay.  For example, I recently inspected a gas furnace in Ottawa that had a had a small gas leak, leaking carbon monoxide in to the home. Just a couple months prior to this, a heating contractor had come out to repair the furnace and later given it a clean bill of health. If the customer hadn’t done the inspection, they would not have found out about the leak.

Included below is a partial list of generic stuff that different furnace manufacturers recommend be performed annually a qualified heating technician:

  • The vent system needs to be checked for blockage and/or leakage.  This includes the outside termination and the connections at and internal to the furnace.
  • Combustion gases must be analyzed and compared to the unit specifications.
  • The blower access door needs to be checked to make sure it makes a tight seal at the furnace.
  • The fresh air intake grills and louvers need to be checked for blockage.
  • The heat exchanger needs to be inspected for rust and corrosion.
  • The burners need to be checked for proper ignition, burner flame, and flame sense.
  • The drainage system needs to be checked for blockage and/or leakage.  This includes the hoses internal to the furnace.  The condensate drain and trap need to be cleaned, and the water replaced in the trap.
  • The blower wheel needs to be checked for debris and cleaned if necessary – this requires complete removal of the blower wheel.
  • An amp-draw test should be conducted on the blower motor and compared with what is listed.
  • The wiring needs to be checked for corrosion and damage.
  • The filters need to be checked (but this needs to be done much more frequently than annually).

Couldn’t I, as a homeowner, do the furnace inspection myself?

Some homeowners might have difficult time trusting an HVAC contractor to perform the furnace tune-up. Never take things in your hand that you are not trained to do so. Specially with gas consuming products, you need to be a professionally trained technician in the field to perform any type of inspection. What you can do as a homeowner is to check the individual’s credentials and the company ratings when you are hiring a furnace contractor to do your furnace maintenance.

Is there any benefits to sign up for a furnace protection plan?

Who doesn’t want to do everything they can to make sure their furnace doesn’t conk out mid-winter? These plans generally provide an annual tune-up and diagnostic check, make sure your furnace is running properly and help spot potential problems. The big advantage is customers pay in installments. Plus some plans offer labor coverage on top of annual tune-up. If you’re getting annual maintenance on your furnace these plans are usually cheaper. Sign up today for a furnace protection plan.

So, to avoid potential problems, we’re giving you a seasonal fall checklist to go through to make sure your system is up to par. Some of the items listed you might be able to do yourself, but most are probably better left to a professional. Either way, we hope you find the information helpful!

Furnace Check-list to Keep You Cozy and Comfortable

Did you know that half of the energy in your home is used by your heating and cooling system? That’s a lot of energy, which means your HVAC system is an important part of your home. Not only does it keep your family comfortable, but it also greatly impacts your utility bills. It is crucial to do annual furnace check in order to help keep your utility bill at an affordable cost and keep your system as efficient as possible.

DIY Furnace Checklist

  • Change Your Filter

Set a reminder for yourself to change your filter on a regular basis. As a best practice, we recommend doing this once a month, especially during seasons of peak usage like winter and summer. A dirty filter makes your system work harder to keep you warm and decreases air flow, which wastes energy, and ultimately ends up costing you more money. It also allows dust and dirt into your house which could affect your allergies, not to mention make you have to dust more often!

  • Review Your Thermostat Settings

As you notice the days getting cooler, take a look at what you have your thermostat set at. Make sure it’s at a comfortable setting for you when you’re home, but set so that it doesn’t run as often when you’re not at home. Resist the temptation to turn your thermostat off. It will take much longer to warm your home when your entire home is cold. Walls, furniture, clothes etc. will hold the current temperature in the home. Tip: Set the thermostat to the lowest temperature that is still comfortable for you. Each degree over 68 degrees F can add 3% to the amount of energy needed for heating.

  • Schedule Service Maintenance

Maintaining your heating equipment is important because it keeps your system running at peak performance and helps prevent future problems, which usually also lead to unwanted costs. HVAC businesses and contractors get busy during the winter, so get ahead of the game and schedule your service at the beginning of fall before everyone else.

Julie from Ottawa Says

Impressive Climate Control came to my house within a week of me asking for a gas fireplace inspection. This is our first winter in this house and I had never had a gas fireplace before and I have always been somewhat afraid of gas. The inspection and repairs were done. We got information of what to do at what time of the year and how to clean the glass. I was reassured about the safety of a gas fireplace. I could not be more satisfied.

This customer had a POSITIVE experience with this business.
