Byron is my west end run. Two very different sorts of house on the same street, and they need two very different conversations.
Byron sits at the west end of the city beside Springbank Park, and it has kept the quieter, green, slightly separate feel it has always had. What matters to me pulling up outside is that Byron is not one housing stock, it is two sitting side by side.
There are the established streets from the sixties through the eighties, and then there is the newer infill and the larger builds that have gone up since. So on one street I am telling somebody their furnace owes them nothing and it is time, and three doors down I am telling somebody with a fifteen year old builder unit that a flame sensor will see them right.
On the older Byron streets I am often looking at a house that is on its second or third furnace. The ductwork was laid out for a much older, much less efficient system, and that is worth a proper look before anybody sells you a new box to bolt onto it.
The infill and the larger newer homes were fitted with builder grade equipment, and a good deal of it is now at the age where it starts asking questions. Often the answer is a small part, not a new system.
Byron has a lot of sloped and treed lots near the park. Where the outdoor unit sits changes how well it works and how much you hear it, and it is worth ten minutes of thought rather than putting it wherever the line is shortest.

Yes, regularly. It is one of my usual runs and I can normally get across the west end quickly.
It can. A lot of the older streets have ducting sized for the furnace that was there in 1975. Before you replace anything it is worth me looking at what the ducts can actually carry.
Placement is most of it. On the sloped and treed lots around there I will talk you through where the outdoor unit wants to go before we settle on anything.
Installation, repairs and service on all of it, tested before I leave.
London and the surrounding area. Just outside it? Ring anyway and I will tell you straight whether I can get to you.
