Window & Room Air Conditioner Repairs

Spring Storm Preparedness

Spring Storm Preparedness: Halt potential hazards. Remove dead or rotting trees and limbs that could fall on or be blown into your home by high winds. Trim overhanging branches so they don’t damage your shingles or roof.

Sprinkler Heads

Sprinkler Spray Patterns Are Off: If spray patterns are directed the wrong way, you can simply turn the sprinkler head in the right direction. You can also substitute a head with a different pattern--a half or full-circle pattern, for example. Or, you can change the adjustment of adjustable heads. Turn the sprinkler on and plan to get wet when you do this.

Energy Efficient Landscaping

When you landscape carefully, you can save money by increasing the energy efficiency of your home. This means that you can save money on heating and cooling costs by carefully planting trees, shrubs and even some grasses and vines. Landscaping can not only help decrease the amount of energy you use in both winter and summer, but can also provide an eye-pleasing surrounding for your home. This means that you can have an attractive home environment and save money on energy costs. And that is of interest to just about everyone.

When you carefully position your trees, you can save money in both summer and winter. Large deciduous trees are great additions to any home for this purpose. These trees have large leaves and create shade during the summer. They block the sun, and this reduces how much money is needed to cool the home. Vines growing on the house and shrubs near the home (protecting basement windows) only help further. Now, here is the great thing about deciduous trees: they lose their leaves in the fall. This means that as the leaves fall of during autumn, they let more sunlight in. This means that natural light and even some warmth from the sun will filter into your house during the winter, lowering heating costs. And the best part about these trees is that an eight foot tall deciduous tree costs about the same amount as a window awning for one large window. You can have the beauty of nature protect you and save you money in a way that an awning very could.

Another reason that landscape design with special attention to tree placement is a wise choice is the fact that they act as windbreaks. Without the wind whipping around the house, there is less energy used for heating. There is not even a need to place trees all around the house to achieve energy savings in windy areas. Simply plant trees on the windward side of the house. This will act as a barrier and can result in you spending a quarter less for your energy bill if you live in an area with high winds. In some areas, the savings increased to one third. Fences can also act as windbreaks, as do some other landscape elements.

Dehumidifiers

Are you in the market for a dehumidifier? Following are some suggestions for choosing one that will function optimally in your home:

Pick a dehumidifier to fit the space where it will operate. To get a properly sized dehumidifier, you need to know the square footage of the room you want to dehumidify and have a general idea of its moisture levels.

Green Carpet Cleaning

Though wall-to-wall carpeting is luxurious underfoot and can add elegance to a room, a dirty carpet can be an eyesore—or, worse, a health hazard, encouraging the growth of germs and mold. Regular professional carpet cleaning is a worthwhile investment, but not all cleaners are created equal.
Some commercial carpet-cleaning companies actually use chemicals that are more dangerous (especially to kids, pets, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems) than the dirt and germs you’re paying them to remove. Because of this, many consumers are requesting “green” carpet-cleaning practices that protect their health and the environment.
