Perfect Temp

Feeling hot hot hot outside, but my office is the perfect temp for a short retreat from the heat outside.   Your temperature shouldn't be kept too low because you don't want your A/C to be running all day and give you a high electric bill.

Yelp

Here are a couple of reviews from Yelp that they don't think are worth people seeing. Well we do! Thanks for the positive comments!

Rough Morning

Woke up to find our window shattered on the truck.  Not a pleasant site first thing out the door.  This is just a reminder to get your GPS's out of your cars and trucks.  Probably the first thing the thieves went after since it was visible, then they went after the tools!

Energy Saving Tips on Heating your House

*Thermostats: Ensure that you are making efficient usage of your thermostat.

*Avoid air leakage: Make sure your house is completely sealed and insulated, this will keep your heating system from working harder.

*Make small changes inside your house: Opening the drapes during the day, sunlight will help warm your house. Small changes in your day to day life will result in more efficient heating.

*Carry out regular maintenance: This saves energy and helps prevent recurring costs. Hire a contractor at least once a year to look over your heating system.

Replace: If your system is older than 8 - 10 years, think about changing it to an efficient Energy Star unit.

This is a multi-functional, simple to use, programmable touch screen thermostat. It has backgrounds that you can customize. It's not only useful, but it's fun too. Check it out.

Programmable Thermostat

Have you thought about changing out your old thermostat to a programmable type? Programmable thermostats are good for working families. You can set your thermostat to around 82 degrees during the hours you're at work and have it come on to 73-75 degrees just in time for your arrival home from work. The higher temperature could save you 20-30% on power consumption because your Air Conditioning doesn't have to turn on as much during the day.
