In 2001, a forced air heating and cooling system was installed by Mr Bedard, the owner of Chauffage Climatisation Confort Montréal, on our newly built house. Twelve years later ( from November 2012 to April 2013) during an average winter within those years, we spent for heating, cooling, lighting and other domestic needs in our cottage of more than 2,500 square feet for 358 days (almost a year) a total of $1,500.o5. Since other electrical needs that are not the heating are relatively stable month after month, we can easily figure out from the report of consumption on our Hydro bill of 2360 kilowatts for the period of May 15, 2012 to July 20, 2012 (67 days), that :

a) our average daily consumption is $184.47 divided by 67 days = $2.75 per day or $2.75 x 365 days = $1,003.75 for the whole year ($83.65 average per month)
b) Since the report of consumption – showing as a recap at the bottom of the Hydro bill – states $1,500.o5 for 358 days, the global (including the heating) average daily consumption is $1,500.o5 divided by 358 days = $4.19 per day which translates to: . $4.19 x 365 days = $1,529.35 for the full year.
c) Therefore, since the total showing in a) – that is $1,003.75 – is the total electricity consumption excluding the heating and the total showing at the end of b) – that is $1,529.35 – is the global electrical cost for the same full year, then the heating cost is the difference between these two figures, that is : $1,529.35 – $1,003.75 = $525.60 for the whole year, which is very economical, in other words an average of $87.60 per month to heat up the house during the six (6) months of heating (November-December-January-February-March-half April and half October).

And that is the reason why we highly recommend Mr Bedard and Chauffage Climatisation Confort Montréal to everyone interested in achieving outstanding savings from their actual situation.

I wanted installed a high efficiency heatpump to lower to a minimum the cost of heating at home. I dealt – being referred to them by friends – with Chauffage Climatisation Confort Montréal, because they took the time to study the project and implement it the right way. Ventilation was improved with a stronger blower furnace and ventilation ducts subtle enhancement that made all the difference. It was a meticulous work and a good challenge and I must say the end result on energy consumption is impressive and worthed the investment.

I strongly recommend Chauffage Climatisation Confort Montréal to anyone that wants high quality – not rushed work – and high return on investment with impressive savings.

I hired Chauffage Climatisation Confort Montréal twice to install each time two electrical boilers and de-install oil tanks and cast-iron boilers. I was very satisfied with both de-installation and installation the first time and that’s why I hired them a second time and I would hire them again, should I have another installation project and/or electrical conversion”. The quality of the work was way above average and the price was reasonable and therefore a deal for the quality of work I got.

Figures showing on Mrs Kornblit HYDRO QUEBEC bill for the period from May 22, 2013 to May 21, 2014 (365 days) of $3,762.90 for all needs including heating in the coldest winter of the last decade speak for themselves when compared to the previous milder winter where $10,545.38 were spent for the heating only (oil consumption acknowledged by the supplier for the full year of 2012 which is not including the cost of domestic electricity). Because the $3,762.90 previously mentioned is for 2 out of three floors of the duplex (usually accounting for 60% of the total cost when those two floors are main floor & basement, which is the case here) with two separate boiler-furnaces (one per dwelling) since a new heating system was installed then the savings should be calculated as follows :

The consumption of $3,762.90 should be compared to 60% of $10,545.38 which is $6,327.22 (60% of the $10,545.38 spent in oil in 2012 for the duplex). But we know that $3,762.90 includes all electricity which is : a/ electricity required for heating : in other words, the heating cost for the main dwelling (main floor and basement) and the cost of domestic electricity, which is lighting, electrical appliances, etc. So we need to separate the heating cost from the cost of electricity in order to compare apples with apples. This is done by averaging the cost of domestic electricity during the period of the year that we know the heating system is off. The two consecutive periods mentioned at the bottom of the Hydro bill :

1. 1. From May 22, 2013 to July 17, 2013 (57 days);
   2. From July 18, 2013 to September 16, 2013 (61 days) are the ones we know the heating system is off : the cost has been $95.05 for 1. And $116.39 for 2 for a total of $211.44 for 118 days in other words an average of $1.79 per day or $1.79 x 365 = $653.35 for the whole year.

The total cost for the main dwelling being $3,762.90 for 365 days, the heating cost therefore is that $3,762.90 – $653.35 = $3,109.55 for the full year compared to $6,327.22 for that same main dwelling the previous year.

The savings are significant (even though the 2nd winter was much colder): $6,327.22 – 3,109.66 = 3,217.67.
