Walk down any residential street in Victoria on a cold day, and you can’t miss it — the acrid smell of heating oil. Why? Up until the 60s, no heating solution on the Island matched the reliability and affordability of oil. But as the number of home oil spills rises, many Victorians are deciding the cost of oil is no longer worth it.

Heating oil tanks leak from the inside out Last year, BC Hazmat responded to 36 spills in Greater Victoria, more than double the previous year. Most of the tanks in Victoria were installed over 30 years ago, and are now failing on mass. Many of these oil tanks will fail without you even knowing it, because they rust from the inside out.

Can you afford the cost of a $60,000 cleanup?

Oil increases risk of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning Oil furnaces burn dirty fossil fuels, and must be inspected annually for leaks in chimney flues, faulty pilot lights, plugged fuel filters and tank leaks. They pose an inherent fire and health hazard to your family.

Household heating oil is expensive The typical oil-heated home in Victoria spends over $100/ mth on heating, not including taxes. When you add the cost

of furnace upkeep and maintenance, tank replacement, and higher insurance premiums, the reason for switching from oil becomes even stronger.

A heat pump from EcoSmart is the answer Instead of buying a new oil tank or updating your oil furnace, consider a heat pump from EcoSmart. Not only will your heating costs be less than half what you pay for oil, you’ll also get free air conditioning in the summer.

We’re offering up to a $1200* bonus rebate on top of the government rebates if you install a new Energy Star high efficiency heat pump.

Smart choices – Smart deal.

Toyo Tires have a reputation of quality tires for any vehicle or application. You may say they are a “Smart” choice!

That’s why when the Smart Family chose Toyo tires so did their neighbours, but for their own reasons.

Now there’s even more reasons to choose Toyo Tires – like a smart deal. For a limited time get up to an $80 rebate on select sets of passenger or light truck tires. Now that’s very “Smart”. Toyo Tires… engineered for the real world…
