We offer a comprehensive list of services to make sure you’re comfortable while staying home this winter.

Things may be a little different this year and we may not be able to pay our respects in person, but that won’t stop us from sharing a moment of silence. To those who have fought for our freedom...

Today we give our full attention. #lestweforget As usual, Remembrance Day is a day that we hold close to our hearts. Please note, we are closed today. Any and all calls for service will be returned tomorrow. Thank you for understanding.

Change your filter, friends! Although we do like to make a living, checking your filter before calling us may help save yourself a service call. Although, we typically question when it was last changed while we trouble shoot with you. #loveyourlocalptbo

PSA: Hey folks, as summer winds down and heating season starts coming to mind, we wanted to make a little announcement for those with aging furnaces. As we all found out this summer, there were some inconvenient delays in obtaining Air Conditioning equipment and accessories due to decreased production from Covid. We are going to be in a similar situation come heating season, as demand outruns production. If you are considering a furnace replacement, we urge you not to wait un...til the last moment, as equipment could be delayed for several weeks. Get your quotes now, and we can always book your installation for a later date, but that will guarantee your equipment without delay. Quotes are free, and no obligation. We do our best to keep equipment in stock, however with the current situations, equipment will come down to a first-come, first-serve basis. See more

But is he wrong?

With A/C season in full swing, don’t forget to keep your filters clean!

Don’t have an a/c but finding it hard to keep your home comfortable? WE HAVE TIPS! Keep those curtains closed! The sunshine is beautiful, but it won’t help yo...u keep the house at a comfortable temperature. Curtains that block the outside completely work best. Cold sheets. Find your bedroom too hot at night? Stick your bed sheets (or pj’s) in the freezer for a few minutes before bed. Turn out the lights! Lights give off heat. Help keep your home cooler by leaving lights off until necessary. Ice fan. Have a fan? It will benefit you more if you put some ice in a bowl in front of it. As the ice evaporates it will cool the air as it blows. Hot water bottle. Hot water bottles don’t just benefit you when you have an injury. Make yourself a leak proof ice pack by freezing your hot water bottle. You can also use this to help keep you cool at night by sticking it under your sheets. Exhaust fan. Turn on that exhaust fan! Just like when showering and cooking, the exhaust fan will help draw out the heat. Turn off that oven! Want to cook a roast? Turn off the oven and use a crock pot, instant pot, or simply grill it! The oven is convenient, but it will ruin all of your efforts to keep your home comfortable. Do you have a fan that can turn clockwise and counter clockwise? Set to counter clockwise. This will push the hot air up instead of swirling it around the room. Use cotton sheets. Lighter sheets like Egyptian cotton are breathable. Out with the heat! Point a box fan out of a window to push out the hot air. Cool off the pulse points. Elbows, wrists, neck, behind the knees, and ground are all pulse points. Applying cool compresses to these spots will help you cool down fast. Kiddy pool! You may look silly sitting in a plastic kiddy pool the size of a hula hoop, but I doubt anyone will be out and about on a hot day anyway. *glug glug* Drink that water! Be sure to avoid drinking cold beverages when you are over heated. This can put your body into shock (this applies to pets as well) Stick your feet in a cool bowl of water. (See pulse points above) Mallow packs. Make a diy ice pack that won’t freeze your skin. Stick some large marshmallows in the freezer and remove to use on your neck. Don’t forget the pets! Keeping a steady supply of cool water will help pets keep their temperatures down. Cats are more likely to drink fresh water than day old. If none of these help, head to your local coffee shop and enjoy a cool beverage indoors. Need an a/c? We can help! Get in touch for a free- no obligation- quote, today! Remember, we don’t charge overtime rates for weekends, holidays or evenings! (705)874-5359 Enjoy this slightly embarrassing photo of 2/3 Patriot Home Heating kiddos.

This year we have decided not to do our own April fools joke on everyone. That said... we aren’t holding back on the kids. Ideas?

News straight from the bunny himself! A HUGE thank you to McLean Berry Farm for sharing the news with our little ones during this time.

Hello Peterborough! Hopefully everyone is staying healthy out there. In light of the announcement of the first case of Covid-19 being confirmed in Peterborough today, we are ceasing all non-emergency house calls for the time being. Thank you for your understanding

Hey guys, With the coronavirus in the horizon and everyone snatching up supplies, I feel like this should be shared. Want to make some hand sanitizer? ... No, it’s not simply rubbing alcohol and aloe gel (I mean you could use that formula, but this is the WHO recommended recipe posted on their website ). This formula reaches the goal of 75% alcohol. Thus proving more effective than the Pinterest recipe floating about. To make 1 1/3 cup, You will need: 1 cup 99% isopropyl alcohol OR 1 cup plus 4 teaspoons 91% isopropyl alcohol 1 Tablespoon hydrogen peroxide And 1 teaspoon glycerin. Glycerin is a moisturizer. Look for it in the cosmetics department at drug stores, supermarkets, and health food stores. Add enough water to bring the total liquid to 1 1/3 cups. Mix thoroughly Pour, via funnel, the sanitizer into small bottles. The mixture is not as thick as commercial hand sanitizers. Stay healthy, friends! https://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/Guide_to_Local_Production.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK144054/ https://www.popsci.com/story/diy/diy-hand-sanitizer/
