heating contractor recommendation - Edm

[mark]

had the ecoEnergy audit and now want to go ahead with an HRV.

Plan to do the installation myself but want like to consult with someone familiar with HRVs for unit and ducting sizing and placement then probably balancing at the end.

How much was the audit? What kinda rebate do you hope to get?

I think I would go to Dyand mechanical and get a quote on a unit from them and then work from there.

I used Weathermakers, they were good.

got all the rebates, and also a $1000 equipment rebate too.

Isntalled my new furnaces and central AC in 3 days.

Thanks for the suggestions.

re the audits, $300 for the initial and $150 for the post and Province will give $200 back.

For the HRV it's a $375 rebate. Basically it's spend $250 to get back $375 and a bonus on what ever else they might have picked up on. With me and a fairly new house (blt 2005) all that was suggested was if I'm ever painting might consider removing the trim around a couple of windows and hit any gap with spray foam.

If I remember right, they charge for the audit also though


Make sure to check on the Equipment Supplier for rebates also. Free money.

I know Carrier gave me back $100 when I added a few other items.

The guys at EMCO are pretty knowledgable.

I installed an HRV at my rental house basement suite earlier this year. I really didn't have a clue about anything. Premier Industrial Ltd (14803-114Ave) was recommended to me so I went there with my blueprints of my basement and the engineer there sat there for about an hour drawing out the plans for the intake and outputs of the HRV. I didn't even say that I was buying one from them, but they still took the time to help me out. I was VERY impressed. I ended up buying my unit and all the piping from them because of service alone. The unit and all of the insulated piping and vents cost me under a thousand dollars. (I didn't tie it into my furnace because of the separate basement suite, I had to have separate ventilation system) Hope this helps.
