We often recommend tankless water heaters to customers. These alternatives to the standard water heater that uses a tank have numerous advantages:

  • They consume less energy
  • They have longer service lives
  • They take up much less space
  • They provide unlimited hot water

Except … we want to talk about that last point a bit. It is a major selling point for tankless water heaters, but it can also give people the wrong impression. It’s perhaps better to say that a tankless water heater won’t run out of hot water. This might sound like the same as saying limitless, but not exactly. It’s a description that better explains how a water heater works.

Over the past six years, Temprite has offered Habitat Vancouver Island North donations of time and volunteer hours to the value of over $20,000 for their projects in the Comox Valley and Campbell River.  By the end of 2023, it is expected that this contribution will likely double! 

The company anticipates a Team Temprite volunteer day at the end of January – where Temprite Technicians will work alongside Temprite Admin and Shop Team volunteering to lend a hand wherever needed.

If you use an electric furnace to warm your home in winter, you certainly aren’t alone. Although natural gas furnaces are the most common type of heating system in Canada, not all homes can connect to a gas line to power them.

Electric furnaces have several advantages as heaters, such as longer service lives, lower upfront purchase cost, and fewer repairs.

Parts can still malfunction, of course, and we’d like to draw your attention to an important part of your electric furnace that helps it run better, but which can also develop faults and cause problems. This part is the sequencer.

There’s probably a direct correlation between how much people enjoy the winter season and whether they have a fireplace in their home.
