It was wonderful running into our friends at @TechSafetyBC at @Everyth1ngElec today. Stop by their booth this weekend for all your home #EV charger installation and heat pump questions! Safety officers will be on site!
Many families are turning to portable AC units to stay cool. But when used alongside natural draft appliances such as a gas furnace, fireplace, or water heater, certain portable AC units can actually create a dangerous situation in your home. Learn more hubs.li/Q03GhCnF0
When it comes to installing gas or electrical equipment, always confirm contractors are licensed and qualified. A refrigeration company rewired supermarket coolers without the right permit or certification; causing an electrical fire that damaged wiring, ceilings, and trusses.
AC can offer instant relief on hot days. But if you have gas appliances, window-vented AC can change the air pressure in your home and lead to CO build up. Learn how you can help protect yourself and your housemates: hubs.li/Q03yGnfP0
Thinking about installing a heat pump at home? Make sure you understand the permit and safety requirements before you get started. Learn more: hubs.li/Q03B1fMK0
A valid licence is necessary in order to legally solicit and perform regulated work in BC. Licensed contractors are responsible for obtaining a licence for every technology in which they perform regulated work and maintaing their licence by renewing before it expires.
Hot weather means more AC use—but did you know window-vented units can potentially disrupt home air pressure and cause CO to build up from gas appliances? Install CO detectors and have a licensed contractor assess your home’s ventilation to help stay safe. hubs.li/Q03yGmcx0
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible gas that can be deadly. It can be produced by fuel burning appliances such as portable heaters, portable stoves, or barbeques. If you are camping this summer, bring a portable, battery-operated CO alarm. Learn more: hubs.li/Q03xYDmH0
