HYDRONIC HEATING

Right up there with plumbing; Heating and cooling systems are an essential component of the modern Ottawa home. We have come to rely on them without even thinking about them. These systems are always running working for you and burning your energy dollars.

In today’s homes these comfort systems are becoming more and more complex as our demands for comfort and energy conservation continue to grow. To make sure your system continues to operate as it was intended you need a qualified contractor not only to maintain the system but also to offer you options for improving what you already have to save both energy (high efficiency units can save gas and/or hydro daily) and to make your home more comfortable.

You need a company that will install the right equipment to satisfy your needs within a budget that you can actually afford. In addition you need it installed right so that the system you are left with will last a long time with the least amount of repairs and lowest possible energy bills.

When it comes to hydronics D R Francis Plumbing and Heating is the Ottawa area specialist. The owner (a Certified Master Plumber & Heating Specialist) has been installing boilers since 1975 following in his father and his grandfathers footsteps learning from a young age how to handle hydronics from many different generations of experienced and knowledgeable professionals.

Many older homes have old style boiler systems that can be up to 100 years old and the only way to know these systems is through experience in working with them since they no longer teach these systems in school today.

In addition we keep current on the newest technology available for home heating and are trained by the manufacturer in both service and installation.

When the latest technology becomes available we first ask:

• How can it serve our customers?
• Is it reliable? 
• Can we use it in old homes or only new homes?
• Will it save our customers money?
• Is it good for our environment?

There are so many obstacles to good installation and choosing the right equipment to satisfy the installation restrictions and the customer's requirements can be a daunting task. So we continue to learn and train in order to serve you, our customer, better.

When we call ourselves the boiler specialist we aren’t just bragging – we ARE Ottawa’s most trusted boiler specialist since 1933 and we have the background and decades of training and experience to show for it.
