Is Your Grill Ready For Some Football?

It's the Monday before the Super Bowl...are you ready? The weather throughout most of the country has been unseasonal, to say the least. While Super Bowl Sunday is always a big grilling day, you have to think with the warmer winter, even more grillmasters will be out on the deck creating some real good eats. But, are you ready? When's the last time you really cleaned that grill? Heat it up a bit and get out that wire brush...scrape those grates. Take a look at those lava rocks as well...too…See More

Inverter Technology: Variable Speed is the Way of the Future in HVAC

By definition, energy efficiency means using the minimum amount of energy to produce the most output. That being said, doesn't it make sense to use technology that works by starting with a low energy boost and increasing to get the desired effect, rather than going full blast and wasting energy getting down to where you want to be? That is the idea behind Variable Speed Technology. With the changes currently taking place within the newer HVAC systems, moving from single-stage to multi-stage…See More

Winter and the Elderly: Lend a Hand

It seems as if the easy ride into winter has ended. It's getting cold, and quickly. While most of us are capable of keeping ourselves warm as the temperatures plummet, not so the elderly. Take the time to visit a senior neighbor or relative. Going to the store in cold or bad weather can be an energy-sapping, and even dangerous adventure for those less nimble. Offer to pick-up their groceries as you do your own shopping. Walk their dog. Check on their furnace, have they had an oil…See More

Political Robocalls To Your Cellphone? It Could Happen.

Imagine your cell phone rings and it's an unsolicited phone marketer. Now just imagine, with a presidential election next year, all the unwanted political cell phone calls you might receive. Well that could happen if Congress agrees to it. The "Mobile Information Call Act" is an amendment to the Communications Act of 1934, and will allow political committees, political action groups and other political organizations to call you on your mobile phone. If passed, it would allow automated…See More

Getting The Most Out Of Your Heating System

Heating season has arrived, and while we all look to cut down on our utility bills, there are some ideas for lowering heating costs that are not as efficient as you might think. If you keep your indoor thermostat set at a constant level, rather than with a programmable thermostat, you could be using anywhere from 5% to 15% more heat. Even though your furnace will need to cycle more when you raise the temperature back up, lowering the temperature during the day and overnight offers a…See More

Take A Little Time For Heating Maintenance

Just like that, we have gone from early fall to early winter. Except for the northern and mountain states, snow in October is an unusual occurence in most areas. Not to mention, it wasn't just a dusting. So now that Mother Nature has made our heads spin, it's time to really prepare for the upcoming winter season. Starting with your heating system, it's definitely time to give your HVAC guy a call for a furnace check. Check your filters and vacuum our your radiators. For gas stoves or…See More

The Importance of Safety Valves on Gas Log Burners

While most of us are aware of the importance of safety valves, nowhere are they more critical than on gas logs. In a gas log burner, a safety valve prevents gas from escaping into the room, in the event the pilot flame goes out. Because propane gas is heavier than air, any gas that enters the room will not escape through the venting and will instead remain in the room. For this reason, safety valves are standard on all liquid propane burners. On the other hand, natural gas is lighter than…See More

Kitchen Ventilation: How Much Do I Need?

Depending on the type of cooking and the location of the range, the recommended ventilation for a kitchen range hood can vary greatly. Hoods which are mounted directly over the cooking surface are much more effective at capturing and exhausting the heat and odors...at a much lower air volume. A downdraft ventilation will need a higher volume and speed to accomplish the same function. While the style of a…See More

Cleaning a Ceramic Cooktop

While ceramic cooktops add a beautiful touch to your kitchen, keeping them clean can be a constant battle. Because spills get cooked as soon as they touch the ceramic surface, cleaning the burned-on mess can be a bit difficult. With just a few steps however, you can get your cooktop looking good as new. First, make sure the cooktop is completely cool. To start the cleaning, pour a bit of dishwashing detergent on a…See More
