What is your Customer Care package?

We see all our Clients as family, and as such, we will look after any issues or concerns they may have well beyond the initial excitement of purchasing a Pod unit from us. Our Customer Care package consists of an annual complementary inquiry with every one of our clients to make sure they are still 100% happy and super stoked with their Pod purchase. We prefer to do this in person, but will also reach out via good old fashioned phone call if necessary. Email and Zoom are alternate options, but only as a last resort when time and/or geography make them necessary. 



What additional services do you provide?

We will arrange all delivery and placement services tailored to your specific needs.

We also offer additional ‘add-on’ services, including deck packages, roof packages, landscaping services and more.

Please feel free to make us aware of any additional services you may require during our initial complimentary site visit.



What site preparation is required?

A level, well compacted pad, free of organic matter is recommended. 

4x concrete patio pavers are a super easy and effective method of raising the base of the unit off the earth, where required.  

In most cases, ‘post drop’ shimming and leveling can be easily achieved 

What are the requirements for my site?

You will need enough space to accommodate your Pod's exterior dimensions AND adequate site access. 

We have a few magicians on our team with the ability to get these units into some incredible spots using a variety of different options. This makes the possibility of us finding a way for you extremely favourable! 

Site access is generally the main item we need to confirm for you prior to you moving ahead with a deposit.

Power requirements consist of a simple extension cord long enough to reach the unit from the nearest household plug. We recommend getting a licenced electrician to run a quick load calculation on both the lead and plug to be used, just to make sure they are adequate.

Are Pods inspected and certified?

Yes. Each one of our Pods are individually inspected, tested and certified by electrical authorities right here on Vancouver Island. We take pride in what we do and build every Pod to perform well beyond ‘minimum standards’.

Can I customize my Pod?

Yes! Customization is available upon request. you will need to send us (via email) a visual representation of what you need, so we can provide you with rough ballpark numbers for your project. Once you would like to move forward, simply pay of our standard $500 retainer fee through our website and will will move into the 'design phase' of your project. 

How is my unit heated/cooled?

Absolutely! Our units are fully electrically certified and they come with heating included

Baseboard Heater. This is the standard, and common heating method. The small space doesn’t require much, and these little baseboard units are more than capable of doing the job without taking up too much room.

Similarly, Air Conditioning of your unit can be achieved in two ways: 

  1. Window mount air conditioning unit. This is a cost effective way to air condition your pod and requires nothing more than a power source and an open window. 
  2. If you are after a more permanent solution, a mini split can easily be installed on the exterior of the unit and run through a wall to the fan unit on the inside. We recommend booking in a full inspection of this type of installation by one of our team members to insure that a quality installation is performed. Failure to do so will void all warranties associated with your unit. Simply contact us through the website to book an installation inspection for a minimal fee.
