Furniture: putting style
in people’s lives
It’s summer and it’s sweltering hot out there. So why may you
ask are we talking about the trade of heating technician?
Because a heating technician takes care of many more things
than just heating systems.
Furniture and accessories reflect the consumer’s lifestyle.
Usually purchased for practical purposes, they also give longlasting pleasure and add beauty to a home when chosen and
arranged with care. To guide their customers through the purchasing process, furniture salespeople must understand their
tastes, motivation, needs and limitations, either with regards to
space or finances.

A heating technician installs and repairs air-conditioning and
refrigeration systems, installs heat pumps and humidifiers,
replaces furnaces and repairs air exchangers, compressors
and all types of motors.
Many potential customers often believe that successful furniture shopping requires a quickly established, trusting relationship between themselves and the salesperson. Enthusiastic and
helpful salespeople, who aren’t overly intrusive, know how to
please the most demanding of customers. They must possess a
well-developed sense of customer service, be able to respond
well to customer requests and their experience should allow
them to gain a global view of their customers’ plans.
All these appliances are useful to consumers especially when
they are properly installed and maintained by a heating technician. For example, a heat pump can reduce an electricity or oil
bill by 30 to 40%. Having an air exchanger installed eliminates
humidity in the summer and maintains better air circulation in
the winter when all the windows are closed. A humidifier protects woodwork during the winter and reduces allergies in the
summer.
The best salespeople are those who have followed a training
course and have in-depth knowledge of the products in their
department. They must also have the technical knowledge to
advise and inform their clientele.
It’s very important to have maintenance work done on these
heating systems once a year: forced air systems, hot water systems, heat pumps, electric baseboard heaters, auxiliary components, etc. As for hot-air generators and gas boilers, these
should be checked every two years. A qualified technician will
ensure the work is carried out in a professional manner.
A combination of these abilities will allow competent salespeople to guide their customers in the layout of furniture in different
rooms of the house. With their knowledge of interior decoration
and the mixing of shapes and colours, they can help in the overall decor of a home. What’s more, furniture salespeople often
specialize in one particular room: the kitchen, living room, family room, bedroom.... Creating a living style and a warm atmosphere is so fast and easy when you consult a professional
furniture salesperson.
Depending on the appliance, the technician will verify the belt
tensions, clean ducts, insulate hot-air ducts, grease certain components, maintain coils, etc. In other words, the technician will
carry out all the maintenance work necessary to ensure your
comfort, no matter what the season, for many years to come.

The fascinating
world of computers
Crime is an ever present reality which many of us try to
avoid. In Canada, someone is the victim of a house invasion, a burglary or vandalism every three minutes. Even
though we all take precautions in varying ways, only an
alarm system can truly discourage thieves. To ensure you
have the best possible protection for your home and
belongings, be sure to contact an alarm technician.
If you love spending hours in front of a computer, if you can
take apart and put together computers with your eyes shut
and if you love helping people for whom computers are a
mystery, you’ll make a great computer technician. In a
world where computers are more and more prevalent in
our daily lives, computer technicians have promising
futures.

Alarm technicians are the specialists who install, maintain
and repair electronic protection systems such as fire and
anti-theft alarms. Their work consists firstly in examining
the premises to be protected and advising their customers
as to the best available protection, depending on their
needs. Once a decision has been reached, they carry out
the installation and the adjustment of the system and its
various devices. These devices can range from a simple
movement sensor to timers and cameras.
Computer technicians can fill many different roles depending on the type of business they work for. They could work
in technical support, or be responsible for a network, for
the maintenance of all the computers within a company,
training, installation of hardware, buying of electronic supplies and systems creation. Technicians are also the people responsible for a company’s computer hardware and
must be able to install a complete work station for an
employee, including all the necessary peripherals.
Surveillance cameras are suitable for both commercial and
residential requirements. Depending on specific needs,
they can be hidden, inside or outside, for the day or the
night, infrared or closed circuit. A system of timers or a key
pad alarm control panel can monitor comings and goings.
As for smoke detectors, they can also detect carbon
monoxide, propane and natural gas.
They can also be in charge of all the company’s software
and operating systems. Included in this task is the purchasing, installation, periodic updates and maintenance of
this material.
Ask your insurance agent if the installation of an alarm system could reduce your premiums. You can often save
between 15 and 35%.

solve a company’s computer problems, whether these
problems arise from inside the computer or are human in
origin! As the resident experts, they must be able to solve
any problems rapidly in order to ensure the efficient running of the company. They must also train employees in the
efficient and appropriate use of computer equipment.
