Heating, Cooling and Appliance Repair

As winter approaches and the outdoor temperature drops, energy consumption is on the rise. Homeowners can implement these five tips to help reduce their home’s energy use and costs, yet maintain a warm and comfortable indoor environment, this winter.

The kitchen is one area where consumers have the most options for green products that have the most cost saving opportunity. From ENERGY STAR qualified appliances to green cleaning, homeowners have a virtual appliance wonderland of possibilities.

* Kitchen and Laundry appliances. ENERGY STAR qualified appliances offer the benefits of efficiency, features and convenience. New models of refrigerators that have earned ENERGY STAR qualifications are 40 percent more energy efficient than conventional refrigerators sold in 2001.

* Green cleaning. If scrubbing pots and pans makes you want to throw in the towel, pick up a natural sponge instead. Scotch Brite’s Greener Clean Natural Fiber Scrub Sponges and Scour Pads are new dish scrubbers, made from the agave plant, that are tough enough to remove dried on food, but gentle enough to use on delicate surfaces.

* Sustainable spout. While homeowners are concerned about saving water, the thought of waiting at the kitchen sink to fill a pot or pitcher is not very appealing.  Fortunately, the new Lindley Eco-Performance kitchen faucet from Moen is the first in the kitchen category to offer a water-saving faucet.  Users can easily switch between three unique water flow settings: 1. eco performance aerated stream 2. eco performance spray and 3. full flow.

* Lighting.  During the winter, people tend to use more artificial lighting to make up for the decrease in daylight. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, switching from incandescent light bulbs to more efficient compact florescent bulbs (CFLs) or light emitting diodes (LEDs) can save up to $50 a year in energy costs. Another easy way to reduce energy consumption during the winter holiday season is to use a timer on your festive decorative lights. Your local home improvement stores should carry a variety of inexpensive timer models to choose from.

Water heating

Lowering the thermostat on your water heater by 10 degrees can help save between 3 and 5 percent in energy costs. In addition, keeping your water heater set at 120 degrees will slow corrosion in your water heater and pipes, allowing them to operate at their most efficient. Insulate your water heater tank and any accessible hot water pipes.

Indoor heating

It’s tempting to turn up the heat when the weather cools; however, during the winter months, you can save as much as 3 percent of heating costs for every degree your thermostat is lowered. A professional heating and cooling contractor can recommend and install a programmable thermostat  that allows homeowners to create heating schedules for when no one is home ensuring greater energy efficiency and enhanced indoor comfort.

During the winter, energy costs can make a big dent in the family budget; however, there are a few easy things you can do to lower your home’s energy consumption. Find comfort and joy in your home this season by reducing energy costs and efficiently heating your home.

Appliance Repair for the holidays

Now that the holidays are almost here, taking proper care of your appliances will help extend its life and also help cut back on repair costs.

The oven:

The cleaner your oven is, the more efficiently it will burn gas or electricity. Don't allow heavy grease buildup on the interior. If you have not used the self clean feature yet, don't,  It's too late.  Self-cleaning cycles cause the oven to run at extremely high temperatures. The self clean feature on today's ovens will expose any weak spots in your oven.  If your oven fails there might not be enough time to get it repaired by the holidays.  If you have not done it, just wait until the holidays are over.

Check your oven's performance by getting a basic cake mix and following the directions exactly. If the cake isn't perfect in the time frame set out on the box, your oven's temperature might be off.

The refrigerator:

Clean the condenser coils at least once a year, more often if you have pets. If you have a built-in refrigerator, hire a service company for this task.

Before you stock your fridge with holiday leftovers, make sure the seal on the door is tight. This is an easy test, close the door on a one dollar bill and if the paper slips, your fridge is wasting energy replace the seal or adjust it. If you only have a $20 dollar bill, send it to me and I will send you a $1 dollar bill free with shipping.

The dishwasher:

Clean your dishwasher's filter at least twice a year to remove particles and debris. Also use some kind of dishwasher cleaner like citric acid. 

Choose the right detergent for your dishwasher. Using less soap is beneficial over the long term. Often, homeowners use too much soap, or the wrong kind, which can lead to problems. Powdered soap tends to work better than liquid.

Washer and dryer:

Inspect the hoses on your clothes washer. Look for any cracks or leaks.

Avoid overloading the washing machine. This can damage the tub and cause belts to break.  Several products are on the market to help clean the washer, like Washer Magic.

Clean the lint filter on your dryer before each use and have the dryer vent inspected and cleaned once a year by a professional. In addition to being a fire hazard, a clogged dryer vent requires the dryer to work longer and harder to dry clothes. Energy is also wasted and the heating element and blower in the dryer wear out quicker. A clogged dryer can take two-to-three times longer to dry clothes.

As weather changes, homes need care

Autumn will grace the nation with its presence Friday, Sept. 23.

 

Now is the time to start thinking about the winter, and what to do with your swamp cooler, central air conditioners and heaters or furnaces.  Proper maintenance is required if you want your air conditioning equipment to last.  Also don't neglect your kitchen and laundry appliances.

 

Each season homes go through changes in temperatures, weather conditions and aging. In order to keep all the components of a home running smoothly and to avoid costly repairs later, it’s helpful to conduct seasonal maintenance actions each season.

 

As the summer continues, this is a perfect time to prepare for fall.

 

Regardless of location, start these helpful tips now to save money and get a jump on the season.

 

* Examine the roof, gutters and downspouts for debris — The roof is often forgotten about because it is not at eye level to give a subtle reminder about maintenance. Clear leaves, dirt and pine needles from gutters and examine downspouts for damage or loose pieces — check the flashing around the chimney and any openings in the roof, such as skylights for leaking problems.

 

* Examine property grounds — Before the grass is covered with snow, or it is too cold to venture outside, check walkways for cracks and loose paver material. Fix walkway and entryway areas before slippery weather can cause a tripping or falling accident.

 

* Change the home filters — Those who have a central air conditioning system should change the air filter regularly. Those who have a window air conditioning unit should remove it from the window or place a waterproof cover over it to prevent damage. Change filters in stove vents, clothes dryers and room fans if applicable. Clean air filters will keep a family healthier in the fall months.

 

* Repair leaky faucets — Before the temperatures start to dip low, examine leaky faucets in the kitchen, bathrooms and utility room locations.

 

* Prepare the fireplace — Some people use the fireplace more than a central heater in the fall and winter months. Discard old ashes and ensure the damper is open to allow air to freely move through the chimney. If the air becomes cold, close back the damper after cleaning.

Check the damper handle and springs to ensure the flue is operating correctly. Hire a professional chimney sweep if needed.

 

* Drain the hot water heater — Residential areas with extra amounts of hard water sediments could cause build up in the tank. Drain the tank and make sure rust is not developing.

If the hot water heater is extremely old or is rusting, consider a new one that will be more cost effective and energy efficient.

 

* Check windows and doors for drafts — The majority of conditioned air in the home is lost through the windows and doors. Check the home and open windows to ensure the seal and caulking around the window frame is in good condition. Think of adding heavier drapery around windows that are extra drafty, to help block some air infiltration.

 

* Clean and store seasonal outdoor furniture — Power wash the outdoor furniture and cushions. Once dry, store cushions in dry area to prevent cracking and fading over the fall and winter months.

 

* Have garden power tools serviced — Once grass begins to enter the dormant stage, sharpen the blades on the lawnmower, trimmer and other tools and get engine fluids recapped off. When shopping for new garden power tools, buy when the season is almost over for cost cuts.

 

* Take care of irrigation and lawn needs — Depending on where residential region, the climate for the lawn and its irrigation system may need to be checked. Consider hiring an irrigation service professional to fix broken heads before the cold weather sets in. Fertilize to prevent spring weeds and winter lawn damage.
