Local Calgary Irrigator vs National Franchise — What to Compare
| Factor | Local Calgary Company | National Franchise |
|---|---|---|
| Calgary climate knowledge | Deep local experience — clay soil, frost dates, chinooks | Generic North American templates |
| Availability in September (peak blowout) | Dedicated local crew, same-week often available | Large queue, same technician is not guaranteed |
| Certification | Ask — look for IA Certification (Irrigation Association) | Varies by franchisee |
| Insurance | Ask for proof of $1M+ liability + active WCB | Franchise umbrella policy — verify coverage specifics |
| Direct owner contact | Usually yes — the owner is the technician | Call center + assigned technician |
