Do we offer financing?

Yes we do! There are different options depending on what is most convenient for you. But 1, 2, 5 or 10 year financing is available!

What does the VSCV stand for in your logo?

Good question! In the dictionary you may have noticed it stands for Variable Speed Constant Velocity. And although that is applicable in this trade because air-conditioning and heating have a lot of moving parts that accelerate (variable speed) and maintain a constant velocity… assuming everything is working correctly (and if it’s not, that’s where we come in to fix any problems!) But in our logo, the letters VSCV stand for Vogl Solutions Cooling Ventilation. Which conveniently works in French too as Vogl Solutions Chauffage Climatisation Ventilation. And coincidentally it’s also our company motto: Variable Speed Constant Velocity, because we’re always moving forward.

Fascinating isn’t it! And now you can sleep at night with this question finally answered and squared away in your brain.

What is a heat pump?

Does it feel like lately you keep hearing all this fuss about heat pumps, but you feel kinda shy to ask anyone what it is? Or maybe you know it’s a type of heater, but you’re wondering what makes it different than the usual heating systems you’re used to? What makes heat pumps so great? Well before we can understand why they’re so special, we first have to understand how heating and cooling works.

Have you ever noticed that when your fridge is running, there’s heat coming out of the back of the fridge? Or that when your window air conditioner is on, once again, there’s hot air blowing out the other end? Ok, so maybe you’ve noticed that, but what does this have to do with heat pumps? EVERYTHING! Your refrigerator is actually taking the heat out of the air inside the fridge and expelling it out into your house. Your window air conditioner is taking the heat out of your house and shooting it outside! It’s not actually creating cold (that’s still impossible), it’s really just removing the heat and putting it somewhere else! Cool huh! And that’s how a heat pump works! It takes the “heat” out of the air outside and “pumps” out into your house, hence the name “heatpump.”

Most homes are heated with baseboard heaters. Those have a small slot which heats up the air in that tiny section, and eventually it heats all the air in your home. Not very efficient right? But a heat pump takes the heat out of the outside air. It’s hard to imagine that in the middle of winter there’s actually heat in the air outside, but these incredible little machines still manage to find some. In fact the most efficient ones can find heat in the air even when it’s minus thirty outside!! So because heat pumps don’t have to heat allllllll the air in your home using a tiny slot (like most heaters do), they’re WAY more efficient which means your hydro bill goes way down! (Up to four times more efficient than a baseboard heater!) And on top of it all, it’s also an air conditioner in the summer (remember how we just discussed that air conditioners produce heat?). So this bad boy known as a heat pump (or thermopompe for us Quebecers) is a win win! Excellent efficient heat in the winter, refreshing cool air in the summer, all while keeping your electricity bill nice and low and saving the earth!
