WESTSHORE TOWING

In 1925 Ernie LeQuesne established the fi rst tow truck for Langford and Colwood, bringing to the communities a professional and desperately needed service.

In 1939 Ernie was called back for duty in WWII. Subsequently, in the early 1940s the family made a decision to sell the business.

In 2010, Dave LeQuesne re-established the professional service that meant so much to his grandfather, Ernie LeQuesne.

Dave and his team bring a wealth of professionalism, vehicle knowledge and of course towing knowledge, care and attention.

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 aff ordability 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 outLast 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 aff ord the cost of a $60,000 cleanup?Oil increases risk of fi re and carbon monoxide poisoning Oil furnaces burn dirty fossil fuels, and must be inspected annually for leaks in chimney fl ues, faulty pilot lights, plugged fuel fi lters and tank leaks. They pose an inherent fi re 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 answerInstead 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. Book before February 15th, get up to a $1200 bonus rebate We’re off ering up to a $1200* bonus rebate on top of the government rebates if you install a new Energy Star high effi ciency heat pump before March 31st (Book before February 15th to be eligible).LiveSmart Rebate:…….$1500EcoSmart Rebate:….up to $1200*Total Savings…..up to $2700
