Napoleon Outdoor Barbeques: Master The Grill

If you don’t have one yet, you NEED a barbecue in your life. And we’re not just saying that because we stock one of the best grill brands ever!

Barbecuing is the perfect way to,

1. Enjoy a home-cooked meal, and

2. Take advantage of the short-lived summer weather!

In fact, in July 2019, 62% of consumers were more likely to prepare their summer meals on the grill 1-3 times a week!

And why not? Who doesn’t love the smell of the grill on a hot summer day?

5 Reasons You Need a Barbeque This Summer:

1. They expand your at-home menu!

There are endless meal options with an outdoor grill. From fish to veggies or burgers to kabobs, there’s always something for everyone to enjoy!

2. They help you save money!

We all know the pain of a steakhouse bill. But with an at-home steakhouse grill, everything changes! You can cook up your favourite rare-cut steak right from your own backyard!

3. They turn mealtime into social time!

If you’re like most Canadians, summer is your top socializing season.

With a barbecue, you can spend less time cooking alone inside and more time socializing with your friends outside!

4. You can use them year-round - no matter the weather!

As long as you install your barbecue under a shelter (i.e. BBQ shelter), you can use it whenever you’d like - rain or shine!

5. They truly complete your backyard!

For most homeowners, especially those in rural areas, barbecues are a household staple. And with so many options, you choose the right BBQ for your budget, style and cooking preferences!

At Campeau Heating, our Napoleon grills offer advanced grilling features and engineered performance.

Important Things To Consider When Building a New Home

Happy home-building season!

If you’re building your new home, this article is for you.

The fun part is deciding what your dream home will look like. The downside is how much time you’ll spend in the selection process.

Browse our cooling units.

If you’re installing central heating and cooling, there are a few extra factors you’ll need to consider.

Beyond system selection, you’ll also need to plan the unit size, placement, and ductwork layout.

The ideal system size for your home varies according to:

• The structure and size of your home.
• Your lifestyle.
• Your heating/cooling needs and preferences.

Ideal unit placement usually depends on electrical access and soundproofing.

Lastly, when deciding on the ductwork layout, you’ll need to consider how to:

• Plan the most direct route.
• Conserve the most energy.
• Save the most space.
• Reduce as much noise as possible.

Not sure where to begin?

Don’t worry - we’ll handle the majority of these decisions for you, so you can focus on the big picture.

New Home Indoor Air Quality 

Another major factor to consider in your new home construction is indoor air quality.

Right now, your home is probably covered in sawdust and totally roofless. So this may seem like a topic you don’t really need to think about for a while. 

But think again!

It’s never too early to start looking into the air quality of your forever home.

After all, that’s the air you, your family and your friends will breathe in. It should be as clean and safe as possible.

With a new home built, you have a unique opportunity to prevent poor indoor air quality. Rather than battle it.

But to achieve that, you’ll need to consider:

• Using building materials that are low-emitting.
• Ensuring proper ventilation in the structure of your home.
• Preventing moisture leaks in ceilings, windows, etc.
• Installing indoor air quality products.

Our indoor air quality experts at Campeau Heating help you create a healthy home environment.

Our Indoor Air Quality Products:

• Aldes HRV
• Napoleon HRV
• Napoleon UVC
• Cinquartz Filtration
• Electro Air 3-IN-1 TRUE HEPA, UVC & PCO AIR CLEANER

New Home Backup Power System

Preparing your new home with all the latest HVAC systems is great. But what happens during a power outage?

Power outages are unpredictable and inconvenient. They happen at the worst times - leaving you without the essential systems in your home.

No heating. No fridge or freezer. No cooking appliances. No sump pump. No running water.

That’s why we always recommend installing a reliable backup generator!

At Campeau Heating, we supply only the best in backup power. That’s why we work with Kohler generators!

Kohler designs these generators for ultimate efficiency, durability and reliability.

A Heat and Glo Outdoor Fireplace Makes Patio Season Last All Year!

As we all know, Ontario summers are short and sweet.

Sadly, we only get to experience this long-awaited season for about three months of the year. So we make the most of it!

We cram in BBQs, bonfires and campouts every weekend possible. And yet, once the season ends, it never seems to have been long enough.

That's where a Heat and Glo outdoor fireplace comes in!

With an outdoor fireplace, your patio season doesn’t have to start in June and end in September.

It can last as long as you’d like!

You can enjoy the warm blaze of your outdoor fireplace no matter the season. Whether that be a peaceful spring morning, a lively summer night or a crisp autumn evening.

You can even run your fireplace in the winter if you're up for it!

The right outdoor fireplace can create the perfect all-season oasis!

3 Reasons To Invest In Heat and Glo Outdoor Fireplace This Summer

Are you looking for the perfect spring project in 2022? This is it!

According to the ASLA, outdoor fireplaces and pits were one of the top 3 outdoor design elements in 2018.

And their popularity has only grown since then!

During the pandemic, homeowners designed their own backyard patios to avoid going out. They installed patio furniture, TVs, bars, barbecues and even outdoor fireplaces!

This allowed their patio days to not rely on anyone's schedule but their own.

You can enjoy the same freedom today with the right outdoor products.

If you’re not sure whether an outdoor fireplace is a good investment for your home - keep reading!

1. AN OUTDOOR FIREPLACE CAN INCREASE YOUR HOME VALUE

According to the ASLA, updating your outdoor living space can increase your home value by 20%!

After all, who doesn't love the freedom of enjoying nature's beauty in their own backyard?

It's why homeowners invest in landscaping, gardens, decking, patio furniture, etc.

These exterior upgrades improve the home's comfort and functionality. They make it more practical, convenient and enjoyable for families throughout the year!

Adding an outdoor fireplace to your outdoor renovations has the same effect!

Plus! You can recoup about 80% of the upfront and operational costs.

Imagine enjoying a cosy outdoor fireplace on a chilly Sudbury evening.

There's really nothing like it!

2. AN OUTDOOR FIREPLACE CAN IMPROVE THE VISUAL APPEAL OF YOUR PATIO

How does an outdoor fireplace improve the visual appeal of your outdoor living space?

Style

Fireplaces have always been a prized feature in a home. They have an incredible ability to spark romance, story-telling, laughter and joy.

One of our suppliers, Heat and Glo, wanted to hold on to this charm. So they designed their outdoor fireplaces to do just that!

With an outdoor fireplace, you can keep creating those lasting memories all year long!

Design

The design of your outdoor fireplace is another key factor in the visual appeal of your patio.

After all, it will become the focal point!

That’s why we recommend choosing a design that fits your unique living space and home exterior.

Thankfully, outdoor fireplaces come in many shapes, sizes, finishes and features. So you're design options are endless!

Examples of Outdoor Fireplace Design Options:

• Brick or stainless steel interiors
• Glass media
• Log style
• Stone or brick surroundings
• Decorative pieces, etc.

Functionality

Backyard patios are the perfect space for group, family or personal use. And with the right landscaping and furnishing, you can truly make it a luxurious getaway.

Do you enjoy unwinding after a busy day? Spending quality time with your family? Or entertaining a large group of friends? All from the comfort of your own backyard? If so, an outdoor fireplace is a perfect addition.

And that leads us to our third and final point!

3. AN OUTDOOR FIREPLACE CAN EXTEND YOUR ENTERTAINING SPACE

Creating a backyard patio scene adds a whole new dimension to your home’s entertaining space.

During the pandemic, gathering outdoors was a necessity. This made an outdoor fireplace a welcome reprieve from a video or phone call.

But they were popular long before the pandemic began too. 

Spending time with your loved ones in nature around a crackling fire has always been a luxury. And it continues to be that today!
