This week's Craft Talk was presented by Ryan from WhyteRidge Plumbing and Heating.

Here's a few of the highlights:

- WhyteRidge installs Napoleon products which are made in Ontario (not likely to be affected by US tariffs).

- Fact: Air conditioning removes the heat out of the air (absorbing the heat from in the house and dumping it outside).

- For maintenance, make sure your filters are clean (air flow is one of the most important things for function).

Ryan from WhyteRidge Plumbing and Heating has a wealth of knowledge and experience. If you need someone for your air conditioning and heating needs, they're your guys!

This week's Craft Talk was presented by Garrett Wondrasek, founder of GW Electric.

Here are some highlights:

How to become an electrician
- 7200 training (school and hands on)
- Usually takes 4-5 years to get through the program and then take the exam to become a red seal.

All about service upgrades:
Step 1 - Assessment of the panel and meter box
Step 2 - Apply for a City Permit (~ $200)
Step 3 - Coordinate a disconnect from MB Hydro
Step 4 - The physical install itself
Step 5 - City inspection has to be done same day before 2:00 p.m. (otherwise there is a $500+ fee for them to come back.)
Step 6 - Inspection passed, called into MB Hydro, and they restore service.

The whole process is usually one to two weeks from the initial assessment to completion.
Approximate cost = $3000 - $4000

If you are looking for an electrician to get some work done, Garrett Wondrasek from GE Electric is your guy!

This week's Craft Talk was presented by Tim Sawchuk with the Wheatland Team at Castel Mortgage Group.

Highlights:

- Pre-approval let's you know how much $$ you have to work with, and the process is more efficient once you choose your home.
** Heads up ** Don't make any big purchases after pre-approval because lenders check your credit just before possession! **

- Working with a mortgage broker like Tim at Castel, gives you access to different lenders which allows different mortgage options and rates for different situations.

- Many people are refinancing to give their family more financial flexibility.

- Right now the average price for a starting home is $417k.

If you're in the market for a house or condo, Tim's your guy!

This week's Craft Talk was presented by Candice from Polo Park Hearing Centre. Here are some highlights:

The three main causes of hearing loss:
- Conductive (mechanical and structural)
- Sensorineural (nerve damage)
- Mixed (a combination of the above)

Misconceptions righted!
- Speaking louder to someone is often not helpful.
- Hearing loss can happen at any age.

Communication tips:
- Speak to the person face-to-face and try not to cover your mouth.
- Speak slower.
- Pick a different word with a harder consonant (such as Dinner over Supper).
