Cornelis in Calgary

Our home was built in the 70's, on an exposed location North of Calgary, basement & main level, 1500 ft^2 per level, with wrap-around windows. The basement heating's in-pad ducts were leaking and both furnaces and boiler needed replacement. We decided to go for radiant heat, which was easy to install, since new air ducts would require space and expensive re-construction of the basement. The old in-pad ducts were grouted, and the pipes for radiant heat are easy to install in the walls and do not require space. Upstairs we now have a combination of hot-air & radiant heat, all serviced by a single high-efficiency furnace, including hot water. Finally, our Northern master-bedroom is snug & warm. Gas and electricity bills were significantly reduced, as is our environmental footprint. The specific layout of the house required a number of "boutique" solutions, which Mark worked out together with us, responding to our requirements. In the end, we also had a small upgrade done, at very little additional expense. So yes, when you need a specific solution, call Mark.

Mark, his 2 sons, his journeyman, electrician and plumber did an outstanding job! This job was unique and customized to our specific requirements, the most important rooms were equipped with separate thermostats and heating-circuits. This fundamental re-build has an ultra-high efficiency IBC boiler at its heart. In the basement, the air-heating system was replaced by water-heating system. On the main level, the master bed & bathroom was included in the water-heating system. On the main floor, the kitchen-dining-room and lounge is an L-shaped open concept, with a separate study; they remained air-heating, supplied by a new air handler. Hot water is supplied by a new indirect heat storage tank. Mark gave excellent advice and also advised on resolving a few basement issues in our 1977 home, and was always open for discussion and new ideas. With winter coming, our home has never been this comfortable!
