FAQ
How many times should I change my furnace's filter?
How often your family expects to use the heating system in their home will determine the answer. Consider changing your filter frequently if your family plans to leave the house during cold weather months. But if you do not often go outside, it may be possible to wait longer between changing your filter.
A furnace filter should last for approximately three months. You should replace your furnace filters every three months.
You can also consult the manufacturer's recommendations regarding when to change your filters. Some manufacturers recommend that you replace your filter after every heating season. Others suggest waiting until there are visible dirt deposits.
Is it more cost-effective to hire a subcontractor or a general contractor?
Hiring a general contractor is usually more expensive than hiring a subcontractor. General contractors have many employees so often charge their clients a high amount for labor costs. Subcontractors, on the contrary, hire one employee and charge less per hour.

After all, they'll be able to give you advice on how best to proceed with your project. They will install the plumbing correctly, take care of safety, and offer a guarantee after they have finished their work. On the flip side, DIY projects usually involve lots of trial and error, which means you'll have to learn a lot of lessons the hard way. There will be many problems along the way.

Can I afford it? - Don't underestimate what a renovation will cost. Even if you think you can manage it on your own, you might find that you need to borrow money from friends and family just to cover the bills. You should also consider the cost of selling your property if you plan to move soon after the renovations are completed.

What is the best place to start? - When it comes to choosing where to start, there's no right or wrong place. But, we recommend you pick something you love to work on. That way, you'll be motivated to keep going, and you'll be less likely to procrastinate. You should also avoid areas that require extensive maintenance. For instance, you shouldn't attempt to redecorate your living room if you're constantly dealing with dust and dirt.
