HOFFMEYER PLUMBING HEATING FOR THE QUALITY YOU DEMAND AND PRICES YOU'LL APPRECIATE 55 Kingston, Goderlch 524-7861 Almost everyone can remember themselves thinking about getting an air conditioner for their home for the hot humid summer, but foregoing it until then. To their dismay, they found it impossible to purchase such a unit due to the demands by consumers. You should really consider purchasing a unit in the off-season and look into the advantages of having a central cooling system installed by the people at HOFFMEYER PLUMBING & HEATING. Its benefits include quieter operation and higher overall efficiency than window units. Another altemative is a heat pump which can transfer heat from inside to the outdoors in summer just like an air conditioner, but also draw warm air from the outdoors in the winter in order to supplement your heating and lower costs by up to 30%. HOFFMEYER PLUMBING & HEATING are specialists in plumbing, heating, air conditioning and feature Carrier and Clare Hecla oil, wood and gas furnaces, heat pumps, sales, service, repairs. In their appliance centre they feature Woods freezers, Inglis stoves, refrigerators, microwave ovens, dishwashers, etc. This business operates successfully under the capable guidance of JACK HOFFMEYER. The thought of laying out a substantial sum of money for a new major household appliance can be intimidating for those of us who are trying to stretch our budgets. However, what you may want to consider is the offsetting effect created by the purchase's value based on its life expectancy. On average, a newer dishwasher should last 13 years; a new clothes washer might hold on for 14 years; fridges and freezers could range from 17-21 years. Added to the appliance's longevity, most newer energy efficient models like th'se displayed at HOFFMEYER PLUMBING & HEATING can relate hundreds of dollars in energy savings. If you are tired of sweating it out each summer or perhaps would like to increase your home's heating efficiency, or you're looking for new appliances, stop into HOFFMEYER PLUMBING & HEATING first.

RAY ULCH WELDING SERVICE A UNIQUE SPECIALTY FIRM SERVING THIS AREA Dungannon 529-7647 Welding, simply put, is the bonding together of two or more metal pieces. Today, there are two frequently used processes to achieve this goal. The first is oxy-acetylene welding which involves the combination of mixing oxygen and acetylene gases in relative proportions to create a very hot flame capable of melting many types of metal. Arc welding which was introduced in 1919 by a Mr. Thompson of the U.S., utilizes electrical current flowing through a welding rod and arcing across to a grounded metal surface to form a complete circuit. This contact creates a high degree of heat which melts the rod right into the metal surfaces, providing an extra strong bond. At one time or, another, welding services are most likely going to be required for home improvements, frame repairs on vehicles, etc. When these types of services are needed, you should consult a well established specialty firm like RAY ULCH WELDING. The owner RAY ULCH opened his business in July 1983, Ray has 38 years experience.

With people spending an increasing amount of their free time at home, and even more time in the kitchen to entertain and eat, as well as to do paper work and watch television, the floor needs to be durable and comfortable to stand on for long periods of time.
