Hi – Kyle here. With winter just around the corner I have been thinking about how Calgary homeowners can save money this year. I realize that many homes have a few problems that the owners don’t even know about.

If you want to save money this year, here are 5 things I recommend you get checked out:

1.  Do Your Ducts Circulate Heat, Or Trap It?

Is there a place that is always a little bit (or a lot) colder than the other rooms in your home?

If you have cold areas of your home you probably have a problem with your duct work. The furnace burns gas and produces heat. It is then up to the ducts and ventilation system to take that heat to every corner of your home.  By correcting a simple duct problem, you can stop trapping heat and start cycling the heat around, increasing the comfort of your home. About half the homes we service could dramatically increase the comfort of their home by simply correcting the problem with their ducts or vents.

2.    Is The Heat You’re Paying For Going Through The Roof?

If you want to reduce your bills, I suggest you think about adding some insulation in your home. Calgary homes are often built with a minimum of insulation, and by investing in a little more insulation, you can live more comfortably and save money for years to come.

3.    Why Aren’t You Using Half The Heat You Buy?

Most Calgary homes have furnaces that are about ten years old or older and they are only about 50-65% efficient. With the help of rebates and credits for energy efficient home improvements you can get a furnace that is 95% or more efficient. When you add up the savings, a new furnace is almost free.

4.    Windows Can Waste A LOT of Energy

When homes are built, builders often use windows that aren’t very energy efficient. Windows are usually the single biggest energy wasting feature of your home.  You may want to consider having your windows checked out to see if it would save you money to have them replaced.

5.    Water Heaters Keep Heating Water – Even When You’re Not Using It

Traditional water heaters burn energy keeping a few gallons of hot water, and then they can run out of hot water in a hurry. Anyone who’s lived in Calgary for long knows what that’s like: standing in the shower when the water temperature suddenly drops to 37 degrees and you scream like a baby. My recommendation is to check out a tankless water heater.  You heat the water when you need it, and you don’t waste your money on keeping water hot when you don’t need it. And of course, with a tankless water heater, you’ll NEVER run out of hot water again.

Hi – this is Kyle from Clearview. I usually post information that has to do with energy savings, health, and safety – but this one is going to be a little bit different because I just can’t bear to not pass this information along to you. WE HAVE CRACKED THE CODE on making energy savings affordable.

I am so excited about this that I wish I had a bullhorn to tell you about it…
First, let me share some cold-hard facts:

Fact #1: Most Calgary homes have furnaces that are AT LEAST ten years old

Fact #2: Old furnaces are about 40-50% less efficient than new models, which means that only around half of the energy you pay for ever warms your home. Your old furnace literally wastes the rest of your money.

Now, here is the Jaw-Dropping Secret: we have found FIVE SOURCES of MONEY to help Calgary homeowners like you get a new 95% efficient furnace – just about for free.   I am completely serious.

Before you go and think this is too complicated, let me also assure you that I made arrangements so we handle all the busywork for you. All you do is call us and we handle it from there.

There are five different sources of cash we tap into. They include:

1.    The Provincial Government’s Climate Change Central rebate.
2.    The Federal Government’s EcoEnergy Grants rebate program.
3.    The Federal Government’s Home Renovation Tax Credit.

Then, I am going out on a limb and adding two additional sources:

4.    The Clearview Plumbing & Heating Instant Rebate program
5.    Clearview’s Calgary Home Inspection Rebate Program ($400)

When you add that all up, you get total savings on a new high efficiency furnace system could be $2765… THEN, take my written promise that your new system will reduce your energy use by at least 30% during the next 12 months, or I will personally pay you the difference. I have looked at the numbers and found that you can get a guaranteed savings of $3,185 dollars.

Remember, we will handle all of your rebate and credit paperwork. Plus, you can get energy savings all year and PAY NOTHING FOR 12 MONTHS -
No Interest, No Payments for a FULL YEAR!

Our phones have been ringing off the hook with this new deal.  The problem is that it is based on some government grants and credits for as long as the funds last, so it is basically on a first-come, first served basis, so please give us a call 403-770-9332 and schedule your free appointment to see in writing what kind of money you can save.
