Switch the ‘Stat is a residential and commercial thermostat exchange program. The Clean Air Foundation works with heating and cooling contractors and wholesalers to encourage the installation of energy-efficient programmable thermostats, while simultaneously, diverting the older mercury containing thermostats from landfill to a safe storage facility. Switching to newer and more energy-efficient programmable thermostats and responsibly disposing of older mercury-containing thermostats reduces energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and prevents mercury from contaminating our air, soil, and water.

Clean Air Foundation is pleased to feature Boonstra’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning for their excellent participation in the Switch the ‘Stat program.
Since October 2007, the company’s Dundas, Ontario location has recovered 436 mercury-containing thermostat switches, meaning that they’ve prevented more than one kilogram of mercury, a harmful neurotoxin, from entering landfill.
These excellent collection results are not surprising when put in the context of their dedication to customer service. Not only does Boonstra’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning offer a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee on their work, but they are also “always on time… or you don’t pay a dime!®”
Started in 1961 by Clarence Boonstra, the company has grown over the years to employ 47 people at its Hamilton location. These employees do their work with convenience, courteousness, competence, cleanliness and character. They also do their part to prevent mercury pollution!
Clean Air Foundation thanks the team at Boonstra’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning for their important contribution to the Switch the ‘Stat program.
