Trikor Builders was again honoured to be the recipient of multiple awards at the 2014 Spring Parade of Homes Gala Dinner. Our winning homes this year include:
The Gold award for 87 Stoneridge Drive was especially rewarding as it's a people's choice vote that we feel is a strong vote for the quality and value of our homes.
It looks as though spring has finally arrived after a long, cold, snowy winter. This winter has been one of the most difficult winters on record, with both cold temperatures and snowfall hitting record levels.
Excessive snow on and around our homes can create all sorts of problems, and we urge you to ensure the following maintenance items are completed.
In order to maintain safe and efficient operation of the furnace and HRV, ensure snow and vegetation do not cover or impede the flow of air through either the air intakes or exhaust vents. Shovel snow away from all intakes and vents after each snowfall. This includes intakes and vents for your furnace, HRV, fireplace, hood fan, etc.
It is essential that roof vents are kept clear of snow to allow proper ventilation from the attic. Snow build up on top of the roof vents will prevent the ventilation of warm humid air from the attic, and contribute towards the formation of ice dams and frost build up in the attic. Keep vents clear of excessive snow.
