· Set the thermostat located on the front cover of the unit to a temperature you would be comfortable (102 to 108 degree)
· Use only the hot water faucet (do not turn on cold water). This will greatly reduce the hot then cold water fluctuations that can occur when trying to mix hot and cold water.
· You can safely operate two typical showers at the same time.
· You can operate 1 shower and dishwasher or clothes washer at the same time.
· Bath tub filler faucets and any other faucets that do not have an aerator on them will greatly reduce the flow of hot water if you attempt to operate them while having a shower. It is recommended to operate the shower first and then fill the bath tub.
· Most dishwashers have a built in electric hot water booster therefore operating at lower temperatures will not alter the dishwasher performance. If you notice spots on the dishes after cycle is complete, possibly change your rinsing product.
· Keep your exterior vent free from debris and have your unit serviced every second year.

Furnace Replacements
If you aren't sure about replacing your furnace, you should consider the following:
If your furnace is more than 15 years old you may want to look into replacing. Furnaces built today are more efficient and save you energy dollars.
You want to change fuel types (e.g., from electric to natural gas)
You have expanded your house and the existing furnace cannot handle the new heating load
You have an older furnace that is not compatible with the new air conditioner you would like to buy
To keep your new furnace working at its best, consider investing in a maintenance plan. Early warning signs can be detected and addressed before serious problems occur (saving you money!). Also, a well maintained system will minimize energy consumption, prolong the life of your equipment and reduce the likelihood of emergency calls.
What’s the right size of furnace for my home?
To determine the correct furnace size for a given house, a heat-load calculation must be performed. This calculation takes into account a number of factors including the size and orientation of the house, the local landscaping, the number of windows, and the number of occupants. Too large a furnace means you will use (and pay for) more fuel than necessary; too little means you won't be comfortable. Northern Air ClimateCare can advise you which size is best for your situation. The sizing of your furnace is critical to proper operation; never leave this to guess work.

Air Conditioning in Sudbury, Ontario
In summer, high relative humidity, elevated air temperatures and sunshine can combine to produce an uncomfortable indoor environment. Air conditioning can provide comfort by lowering the air temperature and also the humidity level in the home. When you're in the market for new cooling products, it pays to learn all you can about them first. With the proper facts in hand, you can make choices that will save you money and help protect the environment. You might also want to take a look at ductless options. A ductless unit is suitable for apartments, condo living, boiler heated homes and homes without ducting.
There are three main cooling options available:
• central air conditioners
• heat pumps
• room air conditioners
The EnerGuide rating and ENERGY STAR® symbol can help you identify the most energy-efficient products available in Canada.
Central air conditioners cool only, while heat pumps also provide heat in winter. Central air conditioners and heat pumps are used to cool an entire living area. Room air conditioners can effectively cool up to three rooms at low cost, and can be installed with minimum effort.
Before you decide what to buy, ask yourself if the whole house must be air conditioned or if your needs would be satisfied by cooling one or two rooms. The answer will determine which type of air conditioner would be more appropriate.
