Did you know that your house has a shut off valve that controls the entire water supply to your home?

Common locations include the basement, crawl space, garage, or outside near the foundation. Make sure everyone in your household knows where it is.

It's a great idea to keep the area clear, regularly check for leaks, and label it for quick access.

In emergencies like burst pipes, shutting it off quickly can prevent major damage and costly repairs.

Summer heatwaves are no joke, and your air conditioner is your first line of defense against rising temperatures. When your air conditioner is working overtime, how can you make sure it stays efficient and effective?

Our top tip for summer AC performance: Change your air filter regularly.

It may seem simple, but regularly replacing your air filter is the best thing you can do for your air conditioner this summer.

Why?

1. Better Airflow: A clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work harder and wear out faster.
2. Lower Energy Bills: A clean filter improves efficiency, which means your AC uses less energy to cool your home.
3. Improved Air Quality: Filters trap dust, pollen, and allergens—so a clean filter means cleaner air.
4. Longer Air Conditioner Lifespan: Reducing strain on your unit helps prevent breakdowns and extends its lifespan.

Change your filter every 1–3 months, depending on your system, filter type, and household factors (like pets or allergies). During peak summer use, check it monthly to make sure it isn’t dirty or clogged.

A quick check up now can catch small issues before they turn into big (and expensive) problems.
Need a filter replacement or a professional servicing? Give us a call today at Service First Tradeworks Ltd. (250) 832-5558 or (250) 675-3668, we are always happy to help!

Furnace Servicing Rebates Are In Full Swing!

Your HVAC system works hard to keep your home comfortable, especially during the chilly months when your furnace is doing overtime. To keep that warmth flowing smoothly, it's important to stay on top of regular furnace maintenance. Here's why it’s worth it:

1. It Helps Your Furnace Last Longer
A well-maintained furnace can last 15-20 years, but neglecting regular care can shorten its lifespan. Taking good care of it means you’ll get more years of warmth.

2. It Boosts Energy Efficiency
Just like a car runs better with regular tune-ups, your furnace will run more efficiently when properly maintained. This means your energy bills stay in check, and your home stays cozy.

3. It May Prevent Expensive Repairs
Catching small issues early through routine maintenance can save you from needing costly repairs down the road. A little attention now goes a long way in avoiding bigger problems later.

Taking care of your furnace today means more comfort and savings tomorrow!

You may be eligible for a $50 rebate from FortisBC on your gas furnace service. Give us a call today to book your servicing :)
