Hiring a company that uses Red Seal certified technicians Hiring a company that uses Tablet Technology Hiring a company that guarantees all its work Scheduling a Boiler service once every year (as recommended by B.C. Safety Authority) Lower Boiler Service Costs – Valve Maintenance It is important that boiler valves are maintained by lifting the try-lever once a month and testing the valve set pressure once a year. If a valve stops operating, the boiler has to be shut down right away to repair or replace the valve. The safety relief valve should be set to open at or below the manufacturer’s specifications. If for some reason, the valve was set too high, it could compromise your safety. You can find the specifications on the side of the boiler.

If you do not have an AC system installed, your rooms can get humid and stuffy. There are also many benefits to having an AC system aside from the comfort of cooling air. We will outline them below. For the moment, Pro Ace AC has been installing units for over twenty-two years. We have literally tens of thousands of customers who have referred many others. When you think about AC installation, service and repair, Pro Ace is the number one company to call. Air Conditioning Installation Vancouver AC Benefits Besides cooling your comfort zone, an AC system will help people with allergies to hay fever and dust. The system not only cools the air, it filters it, keeping out allergens, dust and other particles. If you have sinus problems, an AC system can help you. Also by regulating your home temperature, your body will use less energy. You may find that with a new AC unit in your home, you will have less overall stress. And you may find you sleep much more soundly. At Pro Ace you will always be able to speak with a friendly company rep to answer your questions. Air Conditioning Installation Tips Our first tip is to make sure you are using the current refrigerant. If you are still using R-22, you should upgrade your AC unit right away. After 2020, R-22 won’t be available. And by using the approved R-410A refrigerant, you will save energy as well as energy costs. Our second tip is to purchase an AC unit with a SEER number above 13. SEER means Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It rates how well an AC unit conserves energy. Pro Ace installs Trane, Goodman, Carrier, LG, Mitsubishi, Samsung, and Amery Star AC units. One More Easy Tip When you install your new AC system in Vancouver, make sure the installer is a Red-Seal refrigerant mechanic. Red Seal is the highest badge of approval for an AC installer. It means the tech has passed a gruelling exam covering all the areas about AC systems. A Red Seal tech inspires confidence. All Pro Ace AC installers are Red-Sealed. If you want to know what is covered on the exam, call us and we will outline it for you. Some questions you may have What size air conditioner should I install in my home in Vancouver? The size of an AC unit is measured in tons of air. One ton of air can cool 400 square feet in homes and about half that in an office. (Offices tend to have more windows and less insulation.) If your home in Vancouver is 2800 sq. ft., you will need a 7 ton AC unit. An office of the same size will require a 14 ton unit. Do not try to save money by buying a smaller unit than necessary. Contact Pro Ace so we can explain it all in clear, friendly detail.

[et_pb_section fb_built="1" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" custom_padding="|||" global_colors_info="{}" custom_padding__hover="|||"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" global_colors_info="{}"]Creating a comfortable and efficient workplace is a priority for many businesses. Employees who work in a pleasant environment feel better, stay focused, and are more productive. At the same time, companies are always looking for ways to reduce energy costs without compromising comfort. Heat pumps offer an innovative and effective solution for commercial buildings. They provide both heating and cooling, using less energy than traditional systems. This makes them an excellent choice for maintaining a consistent indoor temperature throughout the year. Many businesses, including ours, have seen the positive impact a heat pump can have. We installed heat pumps in our office. After that, we noticed that our energy bills were lower, and the atmosphere became more comfortable for our team. Heat pumps are efficient and reliable, helping companies save money and enhance the work environment. In this blog, we will explore what are heat pumps, how they work, the benefits of heat pumps, and why they are a valuable investment for commercial buildings. What Are Heat Pumps? Heat pumps are systems that transfer heat from one location to another. They operate similarly to reversible air conditioners. In the winter, they extract heat from the outside air and deliver it indoors to heat the building. In the summer, they extract heat from the interior and expel it outside to lower the temperature in the area. This method makes heat pumps energy-efficient since they transfer heat instead of generating it by burning fuel. Types of Heat Pumps: Air-source Heat Pumps: These are the most common type used in commercial buildings. They transfer heat between the indoor space and the outside air. Businesses often choose air-source heat pumps because they are affordable, easy to install, and work well in most climates. Ground-source (geothermal) Heat Pumps: These systems collect heat from the ground. They are more efficient than air-source pumps because the ground stays at a steady temperature year-round. Although they cost more to install, they save energy in the long run. Water-source Heat Pumps: They use nearby water sources, like lakes or rivers, to transfer heat. They are less common but work well for buildings near water. This type can be highly efficient if a water source is available. Most businesses prefer air-source heat pumps because they are cost-effective and easier to set up than other options. How Do Heat Pumps Work? Heat pumps work by using a special liquid called a refrigerant. The refrigerant circulates through a set of coils within the heat pump. As it moves, it absorbs heat when the temperature is low and releases heat when it is high. This simple idea helps the heat pump keep a building warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The heat pump working process is like this: Heat Absorption: The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, ground, or water. Compression: A compressor then increases the temperature of the refrigerant. Heat Release: The warm refrigerant passes through coils inside the building and releases the heat. Cycle Repeats: The refrigerant then cools down and returns for more heat. This cycle continues all year, making heat pumps a reliable choice for keeping commercial buildings at a comfortable temperature. Benefits of Heat Pumps for Commercial Buildings Heat pumps offer many advantages for commercial buildings. They provide an energy-efficient way to heat and cool large spaces while improving comfort. Many businesses choose heat pumps because they save money, work in all seasons, and are better for the environment. Here are the key benefits: 1. Lower Energy Costs Heat pumps use less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems. Instead of burning fuel, they move heat from one place to another. This process requires less power, which helps businesses: Save money on monthly energy bills Reduce overall heating and cooling expenses Spend less on maintenance because heat pumps have fewer moving parts 2. Comfortable Work Environment A comfortable workplace helps employees feel better and work more efficiently. Heat pumps keep the temperature steady, making sure the building stays warm in winter and cool in summer. This provides: Consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year Better air quality, which can reduce allergies and dust A pleasant environment for employees and visitors 3. Energy Efficiency Heat pumps are designed to use energy wisely. They do not waste power, making them one of the most efficient heating and cooling options. This means: Less energy is used to heat or cool large areas Businesses reduce their energy waste and carbon footprint Improved efficiency even during extreme weather conditions 4. Eco-Friendly Solution Many companies want to reduce their impact on the environment. Heat pumps are a cleaner choice because they use less energy and do not burn fossil fuels. This helps businesses: Lower their greenhouse gas emissions Support green initiatives and sustainability goals Qualify for energy-saving incentives and rebates 5. Long-Term Savings Although heat pumps may cost more to install, they save money over time through lower energy bills and maintenance costs. Businesses benefit from: Reduced repair costs due to durable technology Less frequent system replacements Financial savings that grow over the years We have seen these benefits ourselves after installing heat pumps in our office. The workplace became more comfortable, and our energy costs dropped. Heat pumps are a wise, long-term investment for businesses looking to save money and improve the work environment. Tips for Choosing the Right Heat Pump for Your Commercial Building Choosing the right heat pump for a commercial building is essential for keeping the space comfortable and saving energy costs. With many options available, it’s helpful to understand what to look for. Here are some simple tips to guide your decision: 1. Know Your Building’s Size and Needs The size of your building affects how well a heat pump will work. A too-small system may not heat or cool the space effectively, while a too-large system can waste energy. Consider the building’s total square footage, the number of rooms, and how much heating and cooling you need during different seasons. This will help you choose a heat pump that fits perfectly. 2. Pick the Right Type of Heat Pump As you read above, different heat pumps work in various ways. Air-source heat pumps are the most common and easiest to install. Ground-source (geothermal) and water-source heat pumps offer better efficiency but cost more upfront. Understanding these options allows you to select a system that fits your building’s design and budget without overcomplicating the process. 3. Check Energy Efficiency Ratings Energy-efficient heat pumps save money by using less power. When choosing a system, look for high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings. Higher numbers mean better efficiency, which translates to lower monthly bills and long-term savings for your business. 4. Consider Climate Conditions Your local weather plays a significant role in how a heat pump performs. In warmer areas, a standard heat pump works well year-round. For colder regions, select a model designed to handle low temperatures effectively. This ensures your building stays comfortable no matter the season. 5. Consult with Professionals Choosing and installing a heat pump requires technical knowledge. Working with experienced professionals like ours ensures you get the right heating services for your building. They can assess your needs, recommend the best option, and handle the installation correctly for maximum efficiency. We have found that the right heat pump can transform a workplace. It improves comfort, saves energy, and supports a better work environment. Businesses can greatly benefit from making a smart choice. Conclusion Heat pumps are vital in improving efficiency and comfort in commercial buildings. They provide reliable heating and cooling while reducing energy costs and creating a better work environment. Businesses can enjoy long-term savings and increased employee comfort by choosing the right heat pump and working with experienced professionals. Investing in a quality heat pump system is a smart choice for any commercial property looking to improve energy use and maintain a comfortable workplace.

A fireplace brings warmth and charm to any home, especially in colder months. Choosing between a gas and a wood-burning fireplace is a key decision for creating a cozy gathering space or a stylish centerpiece. Both options bring warmth but offer different experiences. Gas fireplaces are easy to use, with instant flames at the push of a button, while wood-burning fireplaces provide a classic charm with the crackle and smell of real wood. From our experience working with homeowners, we know that each choice has benefits and challenges. Some people love the convenience of gas, while others enjoy the natural feel of burning wood. Factors like installation costs, maintenance, energy efficiency, and environmental impact play a significant role in making the right choice. Understanding these differences can help you decide which fireplace best suits your home and lifestyle. In this blog, we will explore the pros and cons of wood-burning and gas fireplaces and the difference between gas and wood-burning fireplace to help you make an informed choice. What Is a Wood-Burning Fireplace? A wood-burning fireplace is the classic choice many people imagine when thinking of a fireplace. It uses logs or wood pieces as fuel. When you light a fire, the wood burns, and you get a warm, natural flame. Many families enjoy the smell of burning wood and the sound of crackling logs. However, wood-burning fireplaces need you to store firewood and clean up the ashes afterward. They also need regular cleaning of the chimney to remove soot and creosote, which can cause problems if not maintained. Pros of Wood-Burning Fireplaces Traditional Charm: They give a natural and classic look to your home. Ambiance: The sound and smell of burning wood create a cozy environment. Fuel Availability: In many parts of the US, wood is easy to get and sometimes less expensive than gas. Cons of Wood-Burning Fireplaces Maintenance: You need to clean the ashes and inspect the chimney often. Efficiency: Much heat can escape up the chimney, making them less efficient. Environmental Impact: Burning wood can create smoke and release pollutants into the air. Storage: You need a place to store firewood, and the wood must be kept dry. What Is a Gas Fireplace? A gas fireplace utilizes natural gas or propane to produce a flame. You can easily ignite the fire using a switch or remote control. Gas fireplaces eliminate the need to chop wood or handle ashes. They are clean and easy to use. Many modern homes and apartments in the US have gas fireplaces because they are simple to operate and offer steady, reliable heat. Pros of Gas Fireplaces Ease of Use: A switch or remote control can turn them on or off. Clean Burning: There is no ash or soot, which makes cleaning easier. Efficiency: Gas fireplaces often heat the room more evenly and efficiently. Safety: There is less chance of sparks or embers starting a fire outside the fireplace. Cons of Gas Fireplaces Installation Costs: Setting up a gas line and vent system can be more expensive. Less Traditional Look: Some people miss the natural look and smell of burning wood. Dependency on Gas Supply: You must have a steady gas supply, which may be a concern in some areas. Limited Heat Source: While efficient, they might not produce the same high heat level as a wood fire on freezing nights. Key Differences: Gas vs. Wood-Burning Fireplaces Choosing between a gas and a wood-burning fireplace is not just about warmth but finding what fits your lifestyle. Both options create a cozy atmosphere but offer different benefits and challenges. Some homeowners prefer the convenience of gas, while others enjoy the natural charm of burning wood. Understanding the key differences can help you make the best decision for your home. 1. Ease of Use Gas fireplaces are easy to operate, making them a favorite for busy households. With the push of a button or a remote control, you can instantly enjoy warmth without effort. There is no need to gather wood, light a fire, or clean up ashes. This ease is perfect for those who want quick, consistent heat without the hassle. Wood-burning fireplaces, on the other hand, require manual effort. You must collect or buy firewood, build a fire, and monitor it as it burns. While this process takes time, many people enjoy the ritual of starting a fire and the relaxing sound of crackling wood. It brings a sense of tradition that no gas fireplace can fully match. 2. Installation Cost Installing a gas fireplace can be more expensive upfront. It often requires a professional to install gas lines and proper venting, and the cost depends on whether you have an existing gas connection. While the initial investment may be higher, gas fireplaces are easier to integrate into modern homes and offer long-term convenience. Wood-burning fireplaces typically cost less if your home already has a chimney. However, building a new chimney or flue can be quite costly. These fireplaces also require a safe setup to manage smoke and embers. Although the installation cost may be lower in some cases, long-term maintenance can add to the expense. 3. Maintenance Needs Gas fireplaces require very little maintenance. An annual inspection is usually enough to ensure the gas lines and vents work safely. Cleaning up ash or soot is unnecessary, making gas fireplaces a low-maintenance choice. This appeals to homeowners looking for a cleaner, easier option. Wood-burning fireplaces need more regular care. To prevent buildup that can cause fires, you must remove ashes, clean the hearth, and schedule routine chimney inspections. This ongoing maintenance requires time and effort to keep your fireplace safe and working correctly. 4. Heating Efficiency Gas fireplaces are known for their efficiency. They produce consistent heat and can warm a room quickly. Most modern gas models are designed to use energy effectively, meaning less heat escapes. This makes them a practical choice if you want reliable, energy-efficient warmth during colder months. Many homeowners also choose gas fireplaces as part of their heating services to keep their homes comfortable with minimal effort. Wood-burning fireplaces are less efficient because much heat escapes through the chimney. While they can provide warmth, they do not heat a room as quickly or evenly as gas. However, the warmth from a real wood fire feels more natural and can create a unique, inviting atmosphere that many people enjoy. 5. Environmental Impact Gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood, releasing fewer pollutants into the air. They produce minimal smoke and lower carbon emissions, making them a more environmentally friendly option for those concerned about air quality and reducing their carbon footprint. Wood-burning fireplaces have a greater environmental impact. Burning wood releases smoke, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants that affect air quality. While using renewable wood is more sustainable than using fossil fuels, the emissions from burning wood can still contribute to air pollution and health concerns. 6. Safety Features Gas fireplaces are generally safer to use. With enclosed flames, there is no risk of flying sparks or burning embers. Many models also come with built-in safety features like automatic shut-off systems, making them a safer option for families with children or pets. Wood-burning fireplaces carry more safety risks. Open flames can produce sparks, which may cause burns or start fires if not carefully managed. Regular chimney cleaning is essential to prevent creosote buildup, a major cause of chimney fires. While the warmth and charm are appealing, wood-burning fireplaces require more attention to safety. Final Thoughts Deciding between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning one hinges on your way of living and what matters most to you. Gas fireplaces offer convenience, low maintenance, and efficiency, ideal for busy families. In contrast, wood-burning fireplaces provide traditional warmth and ambiance but require more effort and upkeep. Fireplace options each have their benefits. Consider several factors, like ease of use, installation costs, maintenance and efficiency, and environmental impact. By understanding these differences, you can make the best choice to create a warm and inviting home.Beat the Winter Blues: Transform Your Home Into a Cozy Oasis

In this blog, we will explore how to make your space a winter oasis with different heating solutions like a boiler, heat pump, fireplace, furnace, and hot water tank. The Importance of an Efficient Heating System A good heating system plays a significant role in keeping your home warm during winter. It helps maintain a comfortable temperature while saving energy and lowering bills. An efficient system makes sure your home stays cozy without wasting heat. Here’s why an efficient heating system is important: Comfort: Keeps every corner of your home warm and cozy. Energy Savings: Uses less energy, reducing monthly bills.

Upgrading or maintaining systems like boilers, furnaces, and heat pumps helps keep your home warm throughout the winter. Regular maintenance or upgrades prevent expensive heating bills. Boilers: The Reliable Workhorse of Home Heating Boilers are one of the most reliable and long-lasting heating systems for homes during winter. They heat water and distribute warmth through radiators or underfloor heating systems. Boilers provide steady and consistent heat, making them great for keeping homes warm, especially in colder regions. They can run on different energy sources like gas, oil, or electricity, giving homeowners flexible options based on their needs. Here's why boilers are a reliable option: Consistent Heating: They provide even heat across the house without sudden temperature changes. Energy-Efficient: Modern boilers are designed to use less energy, helping to lower energy bills. Durability: Boilers have a long lifespan when appropriately maintained, often lasting 15–20 years. Low Noise: Unlike other systems, boilers work quietly, adding comfort without noise. Hot Water Supply: Many boilers also provide hot water, making them a dual-purpose system for both heating and daily use. Regular boiler repair and maintenance, such as cleaning, pressure checks, and small fixes, can keep your boiler running efficiently. Whether you're upgrading or installing a new one, a boiler can be a long-term solution to keeping your home warm and cozy during winter. Furnaces: Powerful Air Heating Systems Furnace is one of the most powerful heating systems, ideal for quickly warming homes during winter. They heat air and distribute it through ducts and vents throughout the house. Furnaces are standard in many homes. They can heat large areas quickly and efficiently, providing warmth in a short amount of time. Here's why furnaces are a popular choice: Fast Heating: Furnaces heat air quickly, making rooms warm faster than other systems.

If you're looking for a system that provides quick and powerful heating, a furnace can be the right option to keep your home warm and comfortable during winter. Fireplaces: The Heart and Soul of a Cozy Home A fireplace adds warmth and comfort to a home, making the atmosphere inviting. This is why it becomes the heart of a cozy home in winter. Burning wood makes a gentle crackling sound, and flames have a soft glow. These sounds and sights can make any space feel more relaxing and peaceful. Beyond just heating, fireplaces bring a sense of comfort that makes winter nights more enjoyable.

You can choose a classic wood-burning fireplace or an electric fireplace. Heat Pumps: The Energy-Efficient Solution Heat pumps are an innovative and energy-efficient way to keep your home warm during winter. Heat pumps work differently from traditional heating systems. They don't generate heat but transfer warmth from the outside air or ground into your home. This makes them a cost-effective option for creating a cozy indoor environment using less energy. Here's why heat pumps are an excellent choice for winter heating: Energy Efficiency: Uses less electricity than boilers or furnaces, helping reduce energy bills. Dual Functionality: Provides winter heating and summer cooling, making it a year-round solution. Consistent Temperature: Maintains a steady and comfortable warmth without sudden temperature changes.

Regular filter cleaning and professional servicing can improve their performance and lifespan. Choosing a heat pump helps beat the winter blues and creates a warm and energy-efficient home all season long. Hot Water Tanks: Ensuring a Steady Supply of Warmth Hot water tanks are important for keeping your home warm during winter. They give you a steady supply of warm water for your daily needs. You use warm water for things like taking a hot shower, washing dishes, and cleaning. Having warm water ready makes life more comfortable in cold months. A well-maintained hot water tank ensures your home stays warm and functional without interruptions. Here’s why hot water tanks are essential in winter: Consistent Hot Water Supply: Delivers warm water whenever needed, adding comfort to everyday tasks. Various Sizes: Available in different capacities to meet small or large household needs. Energy Options: Can run on electricity, gas, or solar power, offering flexible choices for homeowners.

Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank, checking the thermostat, and inspecting for leaks, can improve performance and extend its lifespan. Installing or upgrading your hot water tank helps ensure your home stays warm and comfortable, making winter days more relaxing. Final Words Transforming your home into a cozy oasis during winter keeps you warm and creates a peaceful space to unwind. By choosing the right heating systems, such as boilers, furnaces, fireplaces, heat pumps, and hot water tanks, you can maintain consistent warmth and comfort throughout your home.
