Trusted Saskatoon team, partners and friends come together in Christmas spirit

The Trusted Saskatoon Directory team always try to do something for the Saskatoon community, we are committed to helping where we can, but especially at Christmas 

On Dec 21st a Trusted Saskatoon Facebook post revealed our cunning plan in full! 

Trusted Saskatoon fans on Facebook had been enjoying 5 weeks of giveaways to celebrate the new website. & contests to celebrate reaching 7000 FacebookFans- but this the 8th contest and this time they weren’t going to be the winners....

We love a good rhyme .......

“ Saskatoon... Christmas eve is drawing near 
Part 8 of our give away is becoming clear. 
The Trusted Saskatoon teams Christmas spirit is strong
We could pick 1 person to benefit, but feel that would be wrong 
So we ask YOU Saskatoon to tell us WHO is in need?
We will select a recipient not based on GREED
A charity, group or family we can gift this year
$700 dollars for them to use or to share.
Please share your thoughts and tell us a reason

Why YOUR nomination should benefit this Christmas season! 


The response was amazing, although some what overwhelming too, as we ONLY had $700 to donate to worthy people or organizations! 

HOW AWESOME IT WAS  to receive 4 additional donations!

 1 from an single mother who wished to remain anon

 3  from Trusted Saskatoon partners of $100 each- thank you to:

 So,who did we choose and how?

WE AGONIZED over every nomination - but in the end decided to split the $1100 pot 11 ways equally and choose who we thought would benefit most

If we had more, believe us, everyone would have been helped, but we know less than $100/ recipient wouldn’t have made much of an impact! $100 for a family for example  is a turkey and all the trimmings on Xmas day for 6+ people 

The RECIPIENTS for Trusted Saskatoon’s ANNUAL December Christmas eve comfort are : 

‘ organizations’ 

  1. Oskāyak High school - $100 donation GC for winter clothes fund for teens - we will be raising more awareness for this after New Year as so needed for this age group!

Epic Auto & Driveline Trusted Saskatoon Tire and Auto Repair expert tip on Re-Torquing Tires


Epic Auto and Driveline is a one-stop Saskatoon automotive and tire shop for domestic and import cars, light trucks, and SUVs

You can be confident knowing that they always take pride in their work and take good care of their customers. Epic Automotive and Driveline is  a Trusted Saskatoon Tire Shop. In this tire tip they share why you should re-torque your tires! 


  


Re-Torque Your Tires


Occasionally a customer will come into our auto repair shop with a concern of a noise; once in a while we find loose lug nuts that hold the tires and rims tight to the car. This usually happens shortly after they have had the vehicle in for servicing somewhere and the wheels were off or they have taken the wheel off themselves. 

 

Re-torquing wheels after vehicle servicing

 
When you bring your vehicle to a Trusted Saskatoon repair shop, if we have had your wheels off of the vehicle, we will ask you to return so we can re-torque the wheels. Your invoice will also have a statement on it advising that the wheels need to be re-torqued. You can do this yourself if you like, but if we were the ones to work on the car we do this at no charge to you. We always use a torque wrench to tighten your wheels when we re-install them. This is more of a safety concern now than it was 20 years ago. Vehicles are much more reliable today, but they are made with lighter materials and some of these are very fussy about how they are put together. Even a slight decrease or increase in the tightness of bolts and nuts can have adverse effects, in that they can loosen or they can break.
 
Most automotive shops will use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel and this is the best way to make sure the nuts are tight but not so tight that the wheel studs break from too much pressure on them. Some vehicles are more prone to having the lug nuts loosen and will need multiple re-torquing to make sure they stay tight. 

Loose wheels don’t happen often, but to be safe, have your wheels re-torqued within the first 100 KM after they have been put on. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner/driver that this is done. Loose wheels can cause a lot of damage to your car and potential injury to you and others. It doesn't take long to re-torque wheels and could save you a repair bill and a big headache.


Epic also offers financing. If you need vehicle parts or car service but don't have the immediate funds to pay for it, take advantage of a monthly payment plan using the value of your vehicle through their financing partner.

Relationships - Affordability - Transparency

JOB Heating & Air Conditioning Trusted Saskatoon AC experts share 10 Fun Facts about Air Conditioning

JOB Heating & Air Conditioning Saskatoon is eager to provide the best possible customer experience. They aim to be a professional resource for our clients before, during, and after the sale! Their team takes pride in service knowledge of modern equipment and training. Peers recognizes them and offers sales, service, training & installations for residential and commercial Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing systems in Saskatoon and the surrounding areaJOB Heating & Air are Trusted Saskatoon Furnace and Air Conditioning Experts. 

 

Here they share 10 Fun Facts About Air Conditioning:

Nobody expects your ears to perk up when overhearing a conversation about air conditioning. As far as most homeowners are concerned, as long as they’re cool when they need to be and warm when they need to be, what else is there to care about? So, this goes out to everyone, politely stifling a yawn when their HVAC technician starts explaining the ins and outs of their air conditioning unit. Air conditioning can be enjoyable!

Here are our Top 10 Fun Facts About Air Conditioning to prove it.

1. Forget comfort - the first air conditioner, designed by Willis Carrier in 1902, was designed to control the humidity in a New York publishing house. Its effects helped ink to dry faster and smudge-free, as well as keeping the paper from expanding and contracting.

2. Do you love catching a summer blockbuster at the movie theatre? You can thank air conditioning. Moviemakers release their big pictures during the summer because people seek out air-conditioned buildings to escape the heat.

3. Air conditioning makes springtime bearable. Allergy sufferers and asthmatics can thank air conditioning for providing clean, filtered air indoors.

4. All those “40 is the new 20” people can thank AC for prolonged life expectancy and the world-changing medical advances. Certain medicines could never have been created without cool, controllable environments, and certain illnesses could never have been cured.

5. You wouldn’t be reading this article if it weren’t for air conditioning. That’s right; you can thank AC for developing and manufacturing computer technology.

6. Vegas wouldn’t be Vegas without AC. In fact, hotter states like Texas, Florida, and Nevada can thank air conditioning for their population booms. Without AC, America’s economic power would rest squarely in the northern states.

7. It’s cool to be green. Manufacturing companies are switching from the old standard refrigerant, R-22, to R-410A. Removing chlorine from air conditioning refrigerants makes them ozone-friendly.

8. High ceilings and open floor plans weren’t just pretty designs for homes. They were made to optimize airflow in a hot building. Now, you can live and work in towering glass buildings (thanks to air conditioning).

9. Before buildings had central air conditioning, industries and even the government took a summer vacation along with school. Do you think things happen too slowly in D.C. now? Imagine working with 2-3 fewer months. Yikes!

10. Kids, thank your lucky stars! Even though summer vacation started as a way to escape the heat, schools kept up the practice even after gaining air conditioning.
