Trusted Saskatoon Air Conditioning & Furnace Experts at Razor Heating discuss proper boiler installation:


Importance of a Quality Boiler Installation

 

Just like a furnace, the importance of a quality boiler is installation is key for proper operation. A boiler that is installed improperly can cause premature failure in the unit and can result in you spending more money to repair it or replace it. There was a case where Razor Heating and Air Conditioning came in and repaired a boiler installation that was installed by a different company improperly. Make sure your boiler installation is done correctly the first time.

 


Things to Consider When Having a Boiler Installed in Your Home:


- Product Quality: 
Do some searches about the quality of the brand you're installing, or ask your HVAC professional about the brand.


- Company Reputation: 

Make sure to check how long the HVAC company has been in business, their reviews and testimonials, and any installation photos they have.


- HVAC Service: 


Make sure that the company you hire also offers service in addition to installations. In the case that you do need assistance with your new boiler installation, you want to know the company can help.


- Boiler Warranty: 


Ask the company what warranty is offered with your boiler installation.


A high-quality boiler can last for many years, but proper care and maintenance are important. They can provide you with the proper services needed to keep your boiler working effectively. If you need more details about boiler installation in Saskatoon contact Razor Heating and Air Conditioning today!

In the latest news from Marla Janzen, Trusted Saskatoon Realtor® shares a tip about negotiation advantages



Gain Negotiating Advantage When Buying


Buying a property requires good knowledge of market conditions, personal finances and the ability to judge what a good investment is. Being able to negotiate realistically is equally important when you decide to make an offer. You should be well prepared before you are actually in the position of preparing a formal offer to purchase. 

Market Conditions

Look at the long-range prospects of your borrowing commitment. During a period of low interest rates, you should take into consideration whether or not prices are expected to increase in the future. Consider locking in at a reasonable rate for the opportunity of a significant gain in the future. 



How Much Can You Afford?

Before you go into the market to look for a house, review your current spending and loan commitments. A mortgage lender will use a ration of about 30% of gross income as the amount of mortgage you can carry. If you review your finances beforehand, you will have a good idea of your own capacity. Property tax is an additional cost that must be factored into the equation. 
Once a price range for your prospective home purchase has been settled, the next step may be locking in a mortgage interest rate with a pre-approved mortgage. When you know you are already approved for a mortgage, this will increase your comfort level at the negotiating table. To arrange a pre-approved mortgage, you meet with a lender who will confirm your borrowing capacity, perform the required credit review and make an agreement to honour a particular interest rate for a specified time.

Existing Mortgage

If there is an existing mortgage on a property you are selling, or on the one you are looking at, there is more to consider than the balance outstanding and the interest rate. Be aware of any pre-payment terms. If your mortgage is open, you can repay it at any time without penalty. However, your lender may have "lock-in" clauses. These may include payment of a bonus or the lender's interest revenue loss for the balance of the term should you repay early. Clarify all of this with your lender.

Portability

One very important feature is mortgage portability. That means you can transfer your existing interest rate, loan balance and remaining term to new mortgage without penalty, although there may be some restrictions. Be sure you understand what they are before you get into negotiations. Your REALTOR® has the expertise to help guide you through the negotiation process, keeping your best interest in mind.

PIckNic's Catering & Fine Food are Trusted Saskatoon Caterers


Oh wedding cake, we will never stop loving you! But whether we’re talking about the fillings and frostings or gorgeous decorations, this spring’s trends are going to make it mighty hard to say “I Do” to just one.

Foliage Fun


Take those show-stopping sugar blooms one step farther with extra foliage! Be on the lookout this spring for cakes with heavy foliage accents, fresh green palettes, or leafy designs. 

You might even spot some fresh herb-inspired decorations. Rosemary is one of our favourites because of its feathery, plume-like appearance.











Shine with Sequins.


More and more brides are using silver and gold accents to add some sparkle to their big day, and the cake is no exception.

Edible sequins are the way to go here and don't be scared to go bold, coating an entire tier in a layer of twinkly bits. Another option: create custom shaped sequins by painting slivered almonds or small fondant cutouts with lustre dust.













Sealed With A Kiss


A cake that matches your invites? 
Why not! 
Edible wax seals (made out of candy melts!) are the prettiest little accents hidden among sugar flowers. Just keep ‘em simple — the bride and groom’s initial works well — to make sure the effect is clear.











Bigger Isn’t Better


Whether you’re having a small reception or just want to save some money, a petite cake may be just the ticket. More brides are opting to show off their cake style without three tiers or lots of fuss. We love a small, semi-naked cake piled with fresh flowers and maybe even a personalized topper.



Watercolour Wonders


The soft and romantic strokes of watercolour paint are perfect for weddings. And brides are taking note: This artistic style is showing up on invites, signage and, yes, cakes. Watercolour washes on a cake can be as bold or as subtle as you want, and also make a beautiful backdrop to other decorations like vibrant flowers, fruits and foliage. 


Bold Florals

Dramatic floral arrangements are perfect for wedding cakes, and they feel even fresher when the cake underneath is left semi-naked. One thing you’re gonna see everywhere: Large, cascading roses sweeping down and around a tower of tiers. That’s a lot to love!

What's the difference between good food and absolutely incredible dining?  Fresh, quality ingredients, generous portions, imagination and creativity!  

From a simple catered lunch with gourmet sandwiches, to a PickNics Candlelight Dinner In A Box for 2 for a romantic evening in, to a fabulous catered wedding or special event catering.

Let Nicola and the team at Picknic's Catering create something special for you!

Trusted Sara's Trusted Saskatoon 2018 Fitness Focus Challenge -Week seven -Hard work does pays off

Trusted Saskatoon owner and founder Sara Wheelwright recently accepted a fitness challenge from the excellent team at Trusted Saskatoon gym Fitness Focus. Over the next few months, you can follow along on her fitness journey as she blogs and video journals her motivations, successes, failures, frustration and her pain as she struggles to get fit and fabulous in her forties!  


WEEK 7 - GETTING INTO A STRIDE &  SEEING RESULTS


I am back - eating better, seeing Denise and I am starting to see ( and feel ) the results. I have more energy overall and even spent time last week organizing my closet and drawers ( If my Mother in the UK reads that she will be shaking her head in disbelief!). I am finding the cardio easier and, I must admit, I am starting to enjoy myself. 

In the last 7 weeks, I have had to navigate many many many temptations.   Mothers Day, events with girlfriends, Grad parties, my 44th Birthday, time at the lake and even multiple shows at Jazz Fest. I have spent time in hotels, on the road, eating in restaurants with clients.  May, June and the beginning of July this year has brought hot temps and it has been perfect for sipping cocktails on a deck.    I cannot hand on heart say I have not lost my way a few times and overindulged, but what I can say is for the first time I haven't let that get in the way of me moving forward. 

The team at Fitness Focus have not judged my slips, and that is why I love the gym ( Also the coffee protein shakes!! GENUIUS!)  - such a supportive, relaxed atmosphere. 

Denise is the best trainer ever, and she really does inspire me with her dedication and the passion she has for fitness. You go, girl!! She is competing this week. 


As I count down the last 3 weeks to my UK trip, I pledge to be better, to be more focused and to get fully onboard with the drinks, eats, cardio and activity. I know it is working and I look forward to the final weigh-in ( of phase 1 )  at the end of July.  


You can see some of the results in the video and pic below - the rest you will have to wait and see. 




ROUNDUP

Postive of week 6-7 

  • I have lost 5lb
