We recently commissioned this dual fuel heating system at one of our local custom home projects for .construction

Even though winter is still a couple seasons away, the heat pump in this dual fuel system is currently providing whole house cooling for the summer months - just like a standard air conditioner. However when the outdoor temps start to drop this fall, the same heat pump will reverse the refrigerant cycle to absorb heat from the air and distribute it through the home (in simplest terms…).

A hot water coil inside the air handler, paired with a high efficiency boiler is also incorporated which can provide efficient back up heating for the entire home in the coldest winter months when heat pump efficiency drops off.

The use of a boiler means we were also able to add some in floor radiant heating as a third back up heat source and some added comfort in the lower floor of this home.

These systems are complex but they carefully designed with proper load calculations, equipment sizing, piping and duct layouts, and high efficiency equipment. At Groundswell Mechanical, we pride ourselves in providing integrated systems that maximize comfort while saving you energy.

This single head, ductless split heat pump set up by will a great summer addition to our customer’s new basement suite.

Did you know that in BC, it is now mandatory to provide cooling and ventilation to all dwelling spaces? In the case of a basement or secondary suite, this often means installing additional systems that can be independently controlled by the tenants. Ductless or ducted split heat pumps are a great choice for these spaces.

Call Groundswell Mechanical this summer for all your cooling needs.

Emergency boiler swap completed just in time for the weekend!

If you recall our post from a week ago, we were servicing this poorly installed, 7 year old combi boiler to try and breathe a little more life into her. Skip to this week and our customer called again - this time with no domestic hot water. Turns out the internal pump was failing (probably a result of no hydraulic separation).

Instead of trying to replace more parts and incur more costs as a result of an improper installation, we called time of death and swapped it for a new combi boiler from

Although this one was a budget build reusing most of the original parts that were still in good condition, we still put some extra care in to our install to do things proper and professional. Added our favourite circulator by , condensate neutralizer, expansion tank service bracket, and proper .nibco service valves on the domestic water ports.

Check out the after and before transformation! ✨

And let us know if you need an upgrade on your problematic or aging hydronic system before next winter! 🤙 🌊 🛠️ 🔥

A persistent error code on this 7 year old, M Series Rinnai combi boiler left these customers with no hot water. But upon showing up to diagnose things, we discovered a number of other problematic issues.

At Groundswell, we have our preferred brands of boilers but I’m of the opinion that a lot of issues with problematic equipment stems from improper installation.

Like this set up with no primary/secondary hydraulic separation, circulator pump installed backwards, no service valves on the domestic water lines, no condensate neutralizer, back grading venting, and years of neglected maintenance.

A thorough heat exchanger flush and other minor improvements got the hot water back on for today but a full repipe and possible boiler swap is being quoted.

Don’t be outfoxed by slick salesmen and uncertified tradesmen. Call Groundswell Mechanical instead for all your hot water heating needs.

Steam shower is under construction at this whole house renovation for and apprentice is loving it!

This Pro Series generator is gonna sit in a tight spot hidden under a shower bench so we opted to jump ahead of framing for an easier install.

Just need some power and then finishes and then can’t wait to get steaming.

Caught the boys in action installing this heat pump today and even got roped into some heavy lifting!

We are stoked to get some cooling working in this brand new home for .construction! This home overlooks Kalamalka Lake with some huge, south facing windows which makes for an amazing view but comes with some serious solar gain to deal with. Thankfully this cold climate heat pump from will pump 5 tons of cooling throughout the building and keep everyone inside comfortable for the hot summer months ahead.

Shout out to and for the great work and to .supply.house for great equipment! Stay tuned for more progress as we wrap up the mechanical systems in this beautiful home.
