Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Our Services

1. Appliance Installation

Q: What appliances does Galico Gas Services install?

Q: Can you install appliances in older homes?

2. Tankless Water Heater Installation

Q: What are the benefits of a tankless water heater?

Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, save energy by eliminating standby heat loss, and take up less space compared to traditional tank systems.

Q: How do I know if a tankless water heater is right for my home?

Since tankless water heaters exert direct heat to the incoming water, this type of unit is not ideal for well water which contain minerals. For this reason, being connected to a municipal water system, such as Ottawa, Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Perth, and Smiths Falls, is recommended. Otherwise, an annual maintenance and descaling would be in order.

Q: Can you replace my old water heater with a tankless model?

Absolutely. We will safely remove your old water heater and upgrade your system to a tankless unit, ensuring all connections meet current codes and standards for homes in Lanark County and Ottawa. Note that the nature of the work may call for plumber as well.


3. Radiant Floor Heating Systems

Q: What is hydronic radiant floor heating?

Hydronic radiant floor heating uses warm water pipes installed beneath your floors to evenly heat your home, providing quiet, energy-efficient comfort. It is an excellent choice for new homes in Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Perth, and Smiths Falls.

Q: What types of flooring are compatible with radiant heating?

Radiant heating works well with tile, stone, laminate, and some hardwood flooring. We can assess your flooring and recommend the best approach for homes in Perth and Ottawa-West.

Q: Is radiant floor heating energy-efficient?

Yes, radiant heating is highly energy-efficient as it directly warms objects and people in the room without significant heat loss. This makes it a great option for homes throughout Lanark County.
