How to Make the Right Choices
Renovation & Repairs
Different
general contractors will give you different recommendations for what you should
do and what products to use. Are they right? Will they solve a problem or just
give you a Band-Aid solution that lasts long enough for them to cash a cheque?
In my
experience, most builders mean well and do good work. But, there are always
some to be cautious about, and you won’t always know which are which if you
aren’t familiar with home construction.
This
can be even more intimidating than a renovation project, and often
overwhelming.
I like to help my clients understand building science basics
(it’s easier than you think), and empower them to make the right choices in
everything from choosing a lot, basement or slab on grade, the best wall
assembly, home durability, all the way to choosing non-toxic interior finishing
to protect the health of you and your family.
In comparison to other Solar systems, Solar Assisted Heat Pumps utilise Heat Pump and Solar principles, meaning they work both day and night to heat your hot water whenever its needed. You can lower your homes carbon emissions, making your home more environmentally friendly and improving your homes energy rating at the same time. With fewer moving parts they offer a more reliable and lower maintenance hot water heating solution.
