Glossary
- General contractor (GC)
- A contractor who manages a renovation or build, coordinates trades and holds the contract with the homeowner. At a home show, ask for licence, insurance and local project references.
- Renovation permit
- Municipal approval required for many structural, electrical, plumbing or occupancy changes. Exhibitors should be able to explain whether your project needs a City of Fredericton permit.
- Load-bearing wall
- A wall that carries structural weight from above. Removing or altering one usually requires an engineer or permit; do not treat a show-floor sketch as structural advice.
- HVAC
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning. At the Fredericton show this covers furnaces, heat pumps, HRVs, ductwork and indoor air quality.
- Heat pump or mini-split
- An electric heating and cooling system that moves heat rather than generating it. Mini-splits are ductless units common in New Brunswick retrofits; ask about cold-climate ratings.
- R-value
- A measure of thermal resistance in insulation. Higher R-value means better resistance to heat flow; compare assembly ratings, not just the product label.
- HRV or ERV
- Heat recovery or energy recovery ventilator. These units exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while recovering heat, which matters in tight modern homes.
- Eavestrough
- The Canadian term for a roof gutter system that carries rainwater away from the foundation. Ask about sizing, downspout discharge and ice-dam risk.
- Subfloor
- The structural layer under finished flooring. Basement and renovation quotes should state whether subfloor repair, leveling or moisture barrier work is included.
- Building envelope
- The exterior shell of a home, including walls, roof, windows, doors and foundation. Air sealing and insulation upgrades are often discussed alongside heat pump projects.
- Net-zero ready
- A home designed and built so it can later produce as much energy as it uses, often through a highly efficient envelope and solar readiness. Ask exhibitors what certification or modelling they provide.
- Home warranty
- A policy or builder-backed guarantee covering certain home systems or workmanship. Compare exclusions, claim limits and whether the warranty is transferable.
- Basement finishing
- Converting unfinished basement space into living area, including framing, insulation, drywall, flooring and egress. Confirm moisture control and permit requirements first.
