Beating the Heat with HVAC technology

Hi guys!
Lately the weather has been getting a lot warmer; which is always a bit of a weird feeling to me, and to a lot of Canadians I imagine, because of how used to the blistering cold we are. It is definitely starting to feel like summer.


As the temperature rises, the need for lots of business and families are turning to HVAC technicians for help with installation and maintenance of their air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating technology.  Places like Arctic Air, which is a Calgary HVAC and Refrigeration company, focus on installing, maintaining and servicing different type of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) equipment.

As the summer blazes on, it's important to make sure that you are getting your cooling systems installed correctly and professionally, whether it's an air conditioner, a walk-in cooler, an exhaust fan, or an ice machine. The same token applies to servicing and upkeep of your HVAC units. According to their website, all air conditioning systems need regular maintaining in order to run efficiently.

Physiotherapy in Calgary

Hey everyone!
My mom is a very sick woman, and recently has had to access the services of a physiotherapist. She is an amputee as well as a diabetic, so getting her mobile again is a very complex and long term journey.

After finally visiting a Calgary physiotherapist, I realized just how hard it is to find one. I wasn't sure exactly what my mom needed, what her problems were, and what treatment I was even looking for. I knew that it was important that I find a clinic with a range of specializations so that the chances of getting my mom the right treatment plan would be better. 


This clinic had two locations, which gave us the option to drive less, since it's already a bit of a challenge getting around. The staff helped with setting up direct billing, which is something that I didn't even think of right away. When we arrived they were very friendly to my mom, which I say is a very good thing considering the years of medical problems she has gone through have made her a bit of a handful at times to deal with.
They let me know that she was in good hands, and that the physiotherapists there had over 10 years of experience; this gave me confidence knowing that they would most likely have seen a case like my mom's before.
Because my mom had pre-existing conditions, her treatment plan was personalized and they took into consideration the amount of exertion she could handle at each session - and kept this in mind for her future scheduled visits. I am glad that clinics such as AlbertaPT.com are around so that my mom can find the help she needs and get walking again.

Calgary Dental Office visit

Hey everyone!
A few weeks ago I had a bad run in with a rock and ended up slipping and chipping my tooth on the sidewalk; it was incredibly painful and most of all extremely embarrassing. I was a bit confused about what my options were after that, and that's why I want to let you know what I learned from reading around a bit about the subject and my own personal experience.

A lot of dental offices cover a wide range of services such as teeth cleaning, braces, dentures, cosmetic surgery, and fillings. After meeting with a Calgary dentist, I was happy to learn that due to my school's insurance plan, I could have my tooth fixed in a matter of weeks.

Step one was the consultation where they met with me and assessed my mouth. They made some initial guesses about what they could do and took a lot of pictures. After that, my next appointment was a few days later. I went in and received a root canal to get rid of all of the nerves in my tooth that were currently exposed do to the chip. I felt so much better leaving the office, because the pains from eating and breathing were now gone.

I was fitted for a crown and color matched at an office in the city, and after that was able to go in for a crown placement. They used a special type of glue adhesive to make sure that the crown was on stable and would not break off from things like chewing and movement.
It looks great, and I'm happy that there are dental offices in Calgary like DynamicDentalCalgary.com that made me feel at home during my entire experience and left me smiling as they promised.

I have bad credit, how will I ever get a loan for a vehicle?

Hey everyone! I am someone that, like a lot of people, let my credit get out of my hands, and now my credit situation is not the best it could be. This wouldn't normally be a huge problem, because I'm young and will eventually get my credit back into a healthy spot, but I've recently come into an issue with my credit and needed some help getting a loan for a vehicle.

Because I'm a first time car buyer and looking to get something dependable, affordable, and safe, I've turned to one of the best Edmonton bad credit car loans dealerships: Mac James Motors. They've been around since 1994, and I even remember listening to their radio jingle while I was on my way to school as a kid.

I knew the moment I wanted to purchase a vehicle that I was going to run into frustrations; it's bad enough having no credit and being young, but I felt as though it was a lot worse to have poor credit. I was mostly concerned with the length of time it would take in order to be approved, but was pleasantly surprised to know that Mac James' approval time is within a couple of hours, which meant that I could potentially be approved, buy the car, and then drive it away all within the same day.

Another bonus to the short approval time was the length of their financing: most companies offer extremely long payment times, upwards of 80+ months to pay back loans. But with Mac James, they're a company that specializes in short-term financing (as low as 34 months), meaning that I'd be able to pay back my loans in full each month in shorter time, which would have the best affect on my credit rating - this means I would not only be paying down my car quicker, but I'd be rebuilding my damaged credit at the same time.

After MacJames.ca helped me get through the hurdles and headaches of getting approved, the only major concern I was left with was deciding which type of car and color I wanted. I knew that I'd be okay in that department though, because their dealership had over 100 different vehicles to be purchased of all makes and models.

Why is Edmonton SEO good for your local business?

Hey everyone, over the last little while I've been asked a number of times: Why should I be concerned with SEO, and what will SEO do for my business?

Well, the answer is simple, a local Edmonton SEO company can provide you with the online exposure that your business needs. Whether it means receiving more phone calls, gaining more
customers, or selling more of your products, having your business appear higher and higher in the search results is incredibly effective. A good SEO company is not only going to be helping you achieve higher ranks in search engines like Google and Bing, but will also personalize your internet marketing, targeting a specific consumer by researching things like keywords and popular search terms in your area. 

So why is this so important...?

Well, search engine optimization is becoming increasingly popular, since more and more people are now turning to the internet to search for things that they need. I know I sure do! For example, when I want to get my brakes fixed, I'd probably search "edmonton brake repair," or if I need my teeth cleaned, I'll search something like "edmonton dental office." This is because search results are almost always going to be localized, meaning that I'll receive results that are relevant to me where I am. 

A local Edmonton SEO company can help you show up higher in the search results for keywords that are important to your business. A lot of people use their phones to make their searches, meaning that they want relevant, local results. I've done some research of my own, and according to Google reviews (and top search results), the company to go with is Andy Kuiper - SEO Services.

One of the important things to consider is the quality of work that your SEO company provides for you. A lot of the times, companies will charge bogus amounts for the work that they're doing, and might even try to rope you into contracts where you're paying thousands of dollars for unimpressive results. Andy Kuiper seems to have a reputation for being a very honest, and 'white hat' SEO company - he also provides Calgary SEO Services. Do yourself a favor and go with the company that is not only going to save you money in the long run, but will also help you by bringing new customers in.

Basement Foundation Repairs in Edmonton

Hey friends, just wanted to share a bit of information about basement foundation repairs in Edmonton from AbalonConstruction.com, that provides all the information you'll need when you're considering getting your basement foundation repaired.

Basement foundation cracks are a common concern for Edmontonians, but not all cracks occur for the same reasons. In some cases, the soil around a home can shrink or swell, causing the foundation to be pressured or shift. Other times, frost build up can result in foundation damage, or if your house undergoes major renovations (e.g. adding a second story to a previously one-story house).

There are a couple of options to consider when getting your basement foundation repaired, like whether to have it repaired from the inside or the outside of the house. Home owners have questions about which approach is better, and what the differences are between the two. Abalon Construction recognizes that although interior repairs come at a lower cost to home owners, the best way to permanently repair foundation leaking is to address the first point of contact between the leak and the moisture. This type of repair can only be done from the exterior of the home, through a process of excavation which reveals the areas around the outside that need to be focused on. After cleaning and sealing have been completed, the integrity of the foundation is reinforced, making the repairs last a lot longer than typical interior sealing methods. 

Expert foundation repair companies agree the temporary repair that comes from interior sealing is only a band-aid solution, and can even end up costing the home owner more money in repairs in the long run, because the foundation will continue to naturally deteriorate over time. 

Some common signs of basement leaking are: a damp or mouldy smell in your basement, water leaking in from the foundation, rust on your basement appliances, visible cracks in your basement walls and foundation, etc. If you think your home may be experiencing foundation leaking, or is in need of repair, call 780-468-4400 for a foundation specialist to visit you for a free, no-obligations walk through where they will explain all of their methods and give you a free estimate and evaluation of your basement.
