I have a 240V baseboard heater in my bedroom that is controlled by a built-in thermostat. I really only use it to heat up the room in the morning and evening, and it's rather inconvenient to bend down to the floor to turn it on and off each time (ok, that might sound like I'm really lazy, and...

We're having a skylight installed in our newly built master ensuite bathroom. Trying to choose between electric or manually vented skylight. Electric costs about $500 more than manual, but would be much more convenient. I'm just worried about whether or not the electric is more likely to break...

Hi! I'm going to be getting a the water service to my 80 year old house replaced soon and I'm wondering what size service I should consider. The city (Toronto) has a free replacement service (for the portion up to the property line) which will install 3/4 inch service. For an extra $200, they...
