Susan McGougan Named VIREB REALOR® of the Year

Nanaimo, BC - The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) is pleased to announce that Susan McGougan was recently presented with one of the industry’s highest honours VIREB REALTOR® of the Year. The award was presented at VIREB’s recent REALTOR® Awards gala, held on February 28th at the Coast Bastion Inn in Nanaimo. This award is presented to an individual whose dedication to excellence has had a profound influence on the professional image of VIREB REALTORS® and who exemplifies characteristics such as leadership, industry stakeholder participation and active community involvement. McGougan received a diploma in Urban Land Economics from UBC, and has been a REALTOR® since 1990. Over the years, she has received numerous professional designations, including an RIBC and CRES designation from the Real Estate Institute of BC.

Susan was as an elected member of the VIREB for nine years, and is also a past president of the Board. She also completed a two-year term as a director on the Board at the British Columbia Real Estate Association. Currently, Susan is lending her talents as Vice-Chair on the Real Estate Council of British Columbia. In addition to her work at the Board level, McGougan is a ten time member of the RE/MAX International 100% club and has been inducted to the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. “Susan is a consummate professional, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance her knowledge of the industry and assist others on their journey,” said VIREB Executive Officer, Bill Benoit. “She is a very deserving recipient of such a prestigious award.” Aside from her extensive work in the industry, Susan is also a passionate supporter of many causes in the community, including: MS Society,

When it comes to heating and cooling systems, size matters Size may not matter for some things. But when it comes to your heating and cooling equipment, it not only matters, it is critical – both to the wellbeing of your home, and your wallet. If you choose a heating unit that’s too large, it will turn on and off more often, create hot and cold spots, and generate high noise levels. An oversized air conditioning unit will likely run long enough to cool, but not to dehumidify. In both cases, incorrect sizing will increase your fuel consumption and operating costs, and contribute to premature part failure. Under-sizing of equipment will be equally problematic, causing a number of comfort problems and an inability to keep up with demand, especially in temperature extremes. Nancy McKeraghan of Newmarket-based Canco ClimateCare has seen her share of problems resulting from improperly sized equipment – her company is often called in to repair the damage. “We had one customer whose furnace was done after seven years because it was the wrong size for his house, actually double the capacity it should have been– and furnaces should last 15 to 20 years,” she says. “The

furnace was constantly going on and off, and that was really hard on the equipment.” How to avoid a similar scenario? Make sure your contractor does a complete “heat loss and heat gain calculation” on your home. Only by reviewing all the variables – and there are many – can the appropriate size be determined. This requires both an onsite assessment of the home, as well as an indepth discussion with the homeowner about lifestyle and future plans. Changing windows, upgrading insulation levels, finishing the basement, air-sealing or adding a new addition – all these upgrades will impact a sizing calculation. The contractor will also take into account: Local climate conditions; Existing hot and cold spots; Size and number of windows that let in heat from the sun; Existing insulation levels; Number and lifestyle of a home’s occupants; and Predicted or known air exchange rate of the home Beware of contractors who fall short of performing a full calculation. Warning signs include a calculation made over the phone or within a brief 15-minute visit. A good estimate takes upwards of an hour – sometimes more – and examines all variables. If the points outlined above are not part of the discussion, this should also raise warning flags, and ditto for contractors who indicate it is sufficient to just replace old equipment with new equipment of the same size. Do not agree to a simple “rule of thumb” calculation (e.g., X amount of BTUs per square foot), and be sure to request a “heat loss and heat gain calculation” as part of your purchase process. Any piece of HVAC equipment constitutes an expensive, and important, purchase. Make sure you get it right, and you will have years of comfort ahead.
