We often hear about the extremely low temperatures that are common during winters in Winnipeg. However, this region is also known for its sunny and warm summers.

Three Factors You Should Consider When Hiring Plumbers in Winnipeg


Winnipeg plumbers are known for their professionalism as well as for their ability to deal with nearly any emergency situation imaginable. Of course, part of this arises from the fact that frozen pipes can create very real issues. This is exacerbated considering that Winnipeg is thought to have the coldest winters within all of Canada. However, the ability to address a burst pipe is not the only trait that a plumber should bring to the table. What are some of the other hallmarks of reputable plumbing companies? Flexibility Plumbing can be a difficult job and the professional needs to be able to handle multiple different tasks that may be required. From leaky taps and broken toilets to replacing hot water tanks or providing a home with a filtration system, this flexibility is the key to provide quality services at agreeable prices.

3 Clues Your Furnace Probably Needs a Fix—For Winnipeg Homeowners


As temperature begins to drop in Winnipeg, you should start giving your home’s heating a lot of thought. You have to keep an eye on your furnace and maintain it to ensure everyone’s toasty when the weather turns real cold. Even if your furnace is still working, you’ll still need to pay attention to some red flags to avoid unnecessary inconvenience. Does your furnace need repair? Watch out for these three signs: 1. Fluctuating temperature. A healthy furnace is supposed to give out consistent, reliable heat. However, if you need to readjust the thermostat over and over in order to maintain the right level of comfort, one possible explanation is that your furnace is no longer working properly.

Four Signs You Need to Have Your Air Conditioner Checked for Repair


It doesn’t take rocket science to tell whether an air conditioner needs repair, but many homeowners usually find themselves wondering whether there really is a problem or it’s all in their head. Oftentimes, Winnipeg HVAC technicians receive calls too late, when a customer’s AC system has stopped working entirely. If you’re like some homeowners, you may wonder what to observe to keep such major inconvenience from happening. Pay attention to the following signs: 1. Noise. ACs generally make a humming sound to a certain degree, although not that audible unless given notice. If, however, you hear unusual sounds like loud vibrations, rattling, whirring, squealing or grinding, that signals a system problem for sure.

Call In a Winnipeg Plumber to Help Prepare Your Pipes for Cold Weather


For Winnipeg residents, with the arrival of autumn and winter around the corner, it’s time to ready their plumbing for the onslaught of cold weather. The main worry is that one of your pipes can freeze. Caused by the water inside them freezing, this can result in burst or clogged pipes. There are several reasons for pipes to freeze: bad insulation, faulty heating, or sudden temperature drops. Local plumbers like Bison Plumbing & Heating LTD can help avert a lot of these problems. Frozen Pipe Basics A frozen pipe may not seem like something to trouble your plumber with, but frozen pipes can be devastating. This is because when water freezes, the ice that it becomes expands, thereby putting a lot of pressure on the structure of your pipe. Depending on how often this happens, your pipes can sometimes just burst, even if they’re made of metal.

Troubleshooting a Dead Dishwasher: Know When You Need Pro Plumbers


Nowadays, homeowners have practically almost every convenience they’d want in terms of home upkeep. Case in point: dishwashers. The convenience that they bring have made them staples in most modern kitchens, but all of the ease they offer can disappear in the blink of an eye should they refuse to work. Fortunately, a few troubleshooting techniques can help you know if you’ll need to call people from plumbing companies in or around Winnipeg such as Bison Plumbing and Heating for repairs. Let’s start with what’s possibly the simplest potential issue: the unit’s power source. If your dishwasher doesn’t light up, it might not be getting enough or any power at all. Begin by checking whether the power plug is neatly tucked into the socket (if your unit plugs into a GFI outlet, ensure that it wasn’t accidentally tripped, and reset the GFI if required). Should these prove futile, check on your circuit breaker and see if it is in the right position.

Furnace Installation and Repair: On Choosing the Right Service Provider


There is no doubt that the temperatures during a Winnipeg winter can be anything but forgiving. With the mercury dipping as low as -21ºC overnight, a furnace will quickly become the most important appliance within any home. It is important that the right company be chosen for any repair or installation needs. What are some of the approaches and qualities that define such a reliable organisation? Financial Clarity and Flexibility During 2014, a survey highlighted that some homeowners were paying up to $700 dollars a month in heating bills. With such a spike in prices, many are looking for cost-effective solutions and upfront pricing. A company should therefore make all of their fees very clear from the start. In addition, professionals must also be able to accommodate low-cost solutions for those who cannot afford a high-end furnace installation.

Winnipeg Heating Service: What is the Best Furnace Type for your Home?


Much like the prices of other household commodities, the cost of heating your home is on the rise in Winnipeg, and people are always thinking of ways to keep energy household costs down—–one of them being the choice of furnace type to use to heat their homes.

Air Conditioner Repair and Installation Tips for Winnipeg Residents


It’s summer again here in Winnipeg – bright sunshine, elevated temperatures and relatively higher humidity levels, all of which could sometimes team up to make your home a truly uncomfortable environment. The usual remedy for this is an air conditioner, providing succour by lowering the temperature and humidity level in the home. A cooling system, however, may break down at any time, whether due to constant usage or just plain old age, requiring significant repairs or possible replacement. If you are among those who don’t think much about your air conditioning system until you need it to function and it doesn’t respond, don’t feel too bad. Most people don’t either.

How to Gauge a Winnipeg Hot Water Tank for Optimal Heating Performance


Nowadays, it’s all about the “green” game. Laws and ordinances are being passed left and right to curb water heater inefficiency—a far cry from the old days when homeowners would simply buy a new hot water tank regardless of size to replace their old one. While such directives have indeed been pushing initial installation costs high, it certainly comes with a nice trade-off in manageable utility bills. The latest energy efficiency standards for tank water heaters are pretty straightforward. For homeowners who own water heaters that can hold 55 gallons of water or less, they’ll have to switch to more efficient (but typically larger) units which can present a few problems if intended to be placed in the same position. This is where proper sizing comes in for the most optimal returns possible.

How to Know if You’ll Need Local Plumbers to Install a Water Softener


Hard water (water laced with greater than normal amounts of trace minerals like calcium and magnesium, in the form of ions) is nothing but trouble. The excess amount of minerals can wreak havoc in your plumbing; something which can be contradicted by installing a water softener. Before buying a softener, though, you must know first if you actually have hard water—in some cases, your water may already be too soft, making a water softener completely useless. Firstly, it helps to know what a water softener actually does. Offered by local plumbing companies, like Bison Plumbing & Heating, water softeners are special appliances directly attached to your home’s water supply, designed specifically to swap out sodium ions for the excess calcium and magnesium. Water softeners are common throughout Winnipeg and other cities, though not uniform in design and function.

Winnipeg Furnace Experts Underscore the Importance of Furnace Sizes


If you’ve noticed that your furnace has been performing erratically during the past winter, you might have already been considering replacing your unit before it could take its toll on you’re your family’s comfort and your energy bills.

Winnipeg Air Conditioners: Checklist to Keep AC Units in Tiptop Shape


Summer is upon everyone once more, bringing not only warmer weather, but also the urge to stay indoors and seek the comfort of their home’s air conditioning units. Your home’s air conditioners are definitely going to be used a lot these coming months, and lest you want to be stunned by a huge energy bill, now is the time to prepare your AC for the impending heavy use. In doing your routine air conditioner maintenance, Winnipeg air conditioner experts remind you to check on these things that you might have forgotten to do. Is the area around your AC sealed? Ensuring that the area being cooled down by your air conditioning unit is sealed from any cracks or gaps is key to keeping the room cool during hot summer days. Gaps like the one found between sliding windows should be blocked out to avoid cool air from escaping, and though accordion flaps that come with most air conditioners nowadays might seem like a good fix, oftentimes they won’t fit right.

Winnipeg Air Conditioning Service Warns Not to DIY on Refrigerants


Replenishing refrigerants is a task best left to a Winnipeg air conditioning service such as Bison Plumbing. Not just because poor handling can be dangerous, it’s also against the law. Manitoba enforces the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Act, which took effect on October 9, 2008. It outlaws the creation and use of any ODS, while also placing under heavy regulation other non-ozone depleting substances. Violators can be fined up to $50,000, six-month imprisonment, or both for the first offense.

Air Conditioners in Winnipeg: Using Them Properly Can Lead to Savings


Air conditioners have become an essential part of a home. People love to be cool all-year round and would prefer to go to sleep with the air-conditioner running on warm days. That being said, air conditioners are big investments. It can make up majority of the electric bill, especially during hot weather, specifically in summer. Nonetheless, with proper usage, homeowners can maximise the return on investment of their air conditioner in Winnipeg as well as maximise its efficiency. One of the first things to consider is the size of the air conditioner. It is advised that the size should be in proportion to the size of the room. For example, an undersized air conditioner will have to work harder and longer to cool a big room, and a large air conditioner would be too much for a small room where a regular-sized one would have done the trick. Getting the size or horsepower wrong can increase the monthly utility bills so it’s best to get the appropriate one for the room.

Winnipeg Plumbers Ensure Quality Water for Your Bread-Baking Needs


A typical loaf of bread will last for several days before it gets hard and stale. At this rate, some are inclined to throw it away; but Rochelle Billow of Bon Appétit says there's still hope. H2O to Rehydrate Stale Bread Assuming there are still no signs of mold growth, a slice of stale bread will benefit from a quick bath. Make sure the crust is positioned in a way that the cut-side is facing away from the faucet, but a soaked slice is still good. Warm it up for around 7 minutes (add 3 to 5 minutes if you really drenched it) in 300 to 325 degrees in the oven. Bread goes stale due to a process called retrogradation. As starch molecules harden over time, the bread loses its moisture, which gives its softness. Reheating the bread forces the molecules to reabsorb the moisture, further enhanced by water.

The Many Benefits of a Winnipeg Plumber-Installed Dual-Flush Toilet


Flushing a toilet is one of the biggest uses of water in Winnipeg homes. With clean usable water growing scarcer every minute, every responsible homeowner should do his part in helping conserve water. A traditional toilet uses up more water than a dual flush toilet; in fact, in the year 1992, the U.S. government stated that only toilets that use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush should be used. This led to many toilet manufacturers implementing new designs for more efficient toilet systems like the dual-flush toilet, which can be installed for you by a professional Winnipeg plumber from businesses like Bison Plumbing & Heating, Ltd.

Call Winnipeg Plumbing Companies to Effectively Deal with Noisy Pipes


Does your plumbing produce a loud noise when you shut off a faucet? Most likely, that is what plumbers call a water hammer, which happens when a quickly-moving jet of water travels down a pipe and comes into contact with a closed valve. The resulting loud thud comes from the shock wave the impact creates, which should not happen if your plumbing has well-functioning air chambers in place.
