“Quality Is More Than Just A Word To Us...It’s In Our Name”

Quiet ComfortMany homeowners may think the best gas furnaces are not seen or heard. That’s why Amana brand AMVM97 Modulating Variable-Speed Furnace is insulated for noise reduction. However, the real secret to its unobtrusiveness is that it strives to operate on low capacity as often and as long as possible and, therefore, produces as low as 25% of the normal high-fire and circulating blower sound generated by furnaces with multi-speed motors.Energy EfficiencyEnergy efficiency equates to cost savings. A gas furnace’s efficiency rating can primarily be determined by two factors: its AFUE rating (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), which indicates what percentage of each dollar of natural gas purchased is actually used to heat your home; and the type of blower used in the furnace.

This Amana brand Modulating, Variable-Speed Furnace offers 97% AFUE, as opposed to lower ratings of less efficient gas furnaces. Its variable-speed blower can improve its efficiency rating and enable the furnace to maintain consistent warmth in low-heat capacity mode without inefficient high-heat surges associated with single speed gas furnaces.

Make your home smell great this fall(StatePoint) When updating your home each season, most of the emphasis is placed on delighting your sense of sight. Why not spend some time on your home’s fragrance?

To refresh your home this fall, consider these tips:

Start FreshClean your refrigerator, pantries and any other areas that contain food, dis-carding expired items and wiping down surfaces.

Reduce mold in humid areas of your home with ventilation and dehumidi-fiers.

Shampoo rugs and take this opportu-nity to launder seldom-washed linens, like window treatments, dust ruffles and bedspreads.

Dust surfaces, such as your bookshelf, coffee table and knick-knacks.

Add ScentsAdd inviting, festive fall fragrances to your home with classic jar and tumbler

candles that evoke the fall experience from the comfort of home -- whether it’s a walk among falling leaves, an afternoon picking berries or a sip of warm cider.

For each room, pick a scent and add candles in a variety of sizes to add a festive feel to the room with both sight and scent.

Set to BakeYou can use fragrance to entice your family’s taste buds too. In fall, it’s time to reunite with your oven and slow cooker. Use in-season ingredients and traditional fall herbs and spices to fill your home with delicious and delightful flavors and aromas.

Apple cinnamon crisp and pumpkin pie make for delightful desserts when the weather cools; and warm, inviting stews, soups and chili using autumn’s hearty harvest should include vegeta-bles like squash, fennel and beets and spices like cumin and cardamom.

Make over your door: tips to make a grand entrance(StatePoint) There are many reasons why a home could need a door makeover. En-try doors, like other major components of the home, can wear out over time and need to be replaced. Additionally, homeowners may “inherit” a door on a home they’ve recently purchased and wish to change the style to a better one in order to complement their home’s personality.

Here are tips for evaluating your cur-rent door, and insights on door aesthet-ics and components.

•Evaluate Your Door: Touch your door. If you can feel the exterior temperatures from the inside, you may not have ad-equate insulation. Also check its appear-ance. For wood doors, check for warping or rotting. For steel, check for dings and rust. Final item: does the style of your door match the design of your home?

•What’s Inside Your Door: A door is ac-tually a system of various components. Locks should operate smoothly and be strong enough to help protect your home. A multi-point locking system that engages a series of locks at several places on the frame can offer peace-of-mind.

•Slam Your Door: Doors experience wear and tear over time. Be sure any replacement door you purchase is con-structed and tested to withstand harsh treatment. Consider materials such as fiberglass, which can offer the beauty of such classic materials as wood, while be-ing low-maintenance and long-lasting.

•Door Appeal: Curb appeal isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the wow factor people get when they drive by your home and the cozy feel that welcomes guests to come in and stay a while. Try a paintable fiberglass door to add a pop of color or stick to the classic look of wood grain, which, when stained, adds warmth. Either way, you can make your home’s entryway stand out with a door trim surround kit.

Home begins at the front door. Take steps to give your home a grand entrance by upgrading this important feature.

Tips for improving your kitchen for entertaining(StatePoint) If your home is the one your family and friends gravitate to for parties and seasonal celebrations, you need to make sure it can handle all that attention. Upgrading your kitchen can be one of the most rewarding home improvement projects for those who entertain frequently.

Here are a few upgrades that can im-prove your kitchen’s visual appeal and utility for better entertaining.

Open and ShutIs your kitchen storage bursting at the seams? Do those cabinets that once looked so great now seem tired? Today’s top kitchens employ a combination of open shelving and closed cabinetry to deliver stunning looks and top func-tionality.

Install open shelving for things you use the most and for visually appealing dishes and glasses. It’s easy for you to grab what you need and for guests to know where to turn for an extra plate or tumbler. And open shelves are ter-rific for showcasing that favorite set of after-dinner glassware or that sleek new cappuccino maker.

A well-designed kitchen needs large cabinets to hide clutter and clunky ap-

pliances that consume precious counter space.

Upgrade your rangeUpgrading your range is a simple way to take entertaining to the next level. Your range should be the centerpiece of your kitchen, in terms of design and function. And these days, designs that combine sleek industrial lines with classic retro touches are all the rage.

But form needs to be matched by flexible function. Look for a range that comes in dual fuel, gas or electric, with choice of a single or double oven.

No matter what range you choose, opt for one with high BTU sealed burners and easy glide oven racks for easy access to your meals. And be sure to look for such advanced features as an infrared broiler and/or convection setting so you can cook quickly and precisely.

Proper Prep and CleanupDouble-basin sinks and dual drawer dish-washers don’t just look luxurious, they help speed prep work and cleanup.

If you have the space, nothing beats a tandem sink where you can use one basin for preparing the next course and the other for dirty dishes. That second

sink is also great for a helpful friend to start cleanup.

Dual drawer dishwashers can help you complete post-meal chores faster. You can have one load of dirty dishes in

progress while you enjoy dessert, and be able to fill up a second drawer with cutlery, coffee cups and dessert plates after the meal.

Will your home withstand storm season? Five tips to help you prepare(StatePoint) Year after year, Americans witness storms that cause millions in damage and loss of life. However, there are things you can do to protect your home and family from the worst:

•Document your home -- before disaster strikes. Take photos of your home now, inside and out, covering the foundation and all interior and exterior spaces. At best, you’ll have a nice keepsake; at worst, a visual documentation that can be used for an insurance claim in case of disaster. You can also share the images with your insurance company right away, to add to their files for future reference.

•Be an expert on your house. How old is your home? What type of framing does it have? When was the roof last repaired or replaced? These are ques-tions you should know the answers to,

as they will dictate what design changes should be made.

•Make fixes easy, inexpensive and rel-evant. Know where your home is weak-est; those spots are the first places to shore up in defense.

•Communicate your building goals. If you’re working with an architect to build or retrofit your home, make sure that he or she understands the importance of resiliency. Even more importantly, your contractor should feel comfortable executing these goals. Communication at every step is the key.

•Design beyond code. Building codes are the minimum standard and in many cas-es, have not been updated to reflect the current reality. If you live in a particularly vulnerable area, an architect can advise on additional measures to take.

Things to look for when replacing your home’s windows(StatePoint) Unlike some home improve-ments, window upgrades are complex, involving many moving parts. If you are in the market for an upgrade, don’t rush into a decision until doing some research and evaluating what will work best on your home.

Here are things to consider when re-placing your home’s windows:

•An energy efficient glass package: The right windows will protect your home and keep you comfortable all year long, limiting the sun’s rays from coming through and fading your carpet and up-holstery, as well as preventing cold air from entering your home in the colder months.

•Warranty: Windows can cost thousands of dollars. Protect your investment by opting for windows that come with a life-time warranty that includes glass break-age and seal failure. A comprehensive warranty should also be transferrable to the next homeowner. This feature can potentially increase your home’s value when you put it on the market.

•Weather stripping: Prevent air infiltra-tion through your windows with proper weather stripping. A bulb seal at the bottom of the window, which is a rub-berized seal that compresses to the sill, combined with fin weather stripping on verticals and horizontals, will give you triple weather stripping that acts as a true barrier against drafts, keeping you comfortable and helping reduce utility bills.

•Beauty: Your windows, like any exterior element on your home, should comple-ment its architecture and add beauty to your house. While certain architectural styles, such as Colonial, once reigned, there’s a new trend toward American Craftsman homes. Forward-thinking window manufacturers are respond-ing to the call by offering grid patterns, stain and paint finishes suitable for this growing need.

Make an investment in your home with lasting impact. Seek windows that offer comfort, functionality and beauty for years to come.

How to conduct a DIY home energy audit(StatePoint) This fall, why not consider making needed improvements in your home to help increase energy efficiency and save big in the long run?

Here is a short checklist for a DIY home energy audit.

Seal Air LeaksAccording to the U.S. Department of En-ergy, sealing air leaks around the house can save up to 30 percent of energy costs annually.

To find leaks, conduct a thorough visual inspection for gaps and cracks by baseboards, where the walls and ceiling meet, around door frames, and near cable and phone line wall plates.

Spot a gap? Caulk it. Use painter’s tape for a cleaner job. Hold the caulking gun at an angle for best results, and apply in a continuous stream.

Improve insulation around windows and doors with weather-stripping. Mea-sure the gap you need to fill to identify the width of weather-stripping needed and determine whether you should ap-ply it from the inside or outside. Before starting, read the package instructions to ensure you’re using the right materi-als. Cut to size and install.

Check if your fireplace flue is open. If so, close it when not in use for additional savings.

Make Smart UpgradesOne quick way to check your windows for inefficiencies is to look for conden-sation, frost and other moisture. The Department of Energy also recommends closing your windows on a dollar bill. If you can easily pull the bill out, the window might be losing substantial energy and may require repair or re-placement.

Change BehaviorDo an audit of not only your home’s features, but of the occupants as well. Are lights left on in empty rooms? Is the television on when no one is watching it? From switching to cold water laundry cycles to taking advantage of sunlight for warmth and light -- modifications of energy and cost-saving resources don’t need to be a sacrifice.

To save energy, improve the comfort of your home and do your part to be more environmentally conscientious, conduct a do-it-yourself energy audit. You’ll likely discover many areas in your home that should be improved.


Switching to LED bulbs is becoming more affordable and appealing(StatePoint) The use of LED bulbs in homes is on the rise nationwide, and with good reason. Not only are they more energy efficient than their tradi-tional counterparts, LEDs are becoming more affordable upfront.

Indeed, of the United States’ four billion residential light bulb sockets, less than 10 percent are filled with LED lighting; but by 2020, more than 50 percent will be LED, according to industry estimates. This year alone, the consumer lighting market is anticipated to more than double with LED, while traditional CFL bulb usage is expected to decrease.

LED is not a new technology and has been on the market for years. So what is driving this sudden consumer shift? New light bulb designs are making these cost-efficient bulbs more convenient, attractive and affordable. In fact, certain designs retail as low as under $10 for a three-pack of bulbs.

You don’t need to be a skilled handy-man to make an important, planet-friendly home upgrade that will save your family time and money for years to come. This weekend, consider trad-ing in your traditional bulbs for a more modern variety.

Great ways to improve your bathroom(StatePoint) A bathroom can and should be much more than a utilitarian space. In the best circumstances, it will be a place to gather your wits for the day ahead and unwind before bed.

But building a better bathroom is necessary before you can truly relax in this space. To create the perfect at-home oasis, consider these ideas.

CoordinateIf you have ever replaced an appliance or fixture in your bathroom by necessity, you may have unintentionally created an uncoordinated look. If you’re tired of being mismatched, particularly in a space where you seek serenity, consider upgrading all your fixtures at once within

one suite collection. Such coordination can provide a striking combination of style and performance.

New windowsWhat’s the point of beautiful expansive windows when you only plan to cover them with boring blinds or shades? To solve the age-old bathroom conundrum of needing natural light but wanting solitude and privacy, think differently about your windows. Decorative privacy windows make for an ideal solution, with adornments and finishes that keep away prying eyes.

Icing on the cakeDecorative millwork can offer your bath-room elegance and luxury. Remember, bathrooms are humid, so look for mois-ture-resistant polyurethane moulding and accent pieces. These quick do-it-yourself ideas can be completed in an afternoon when using pieces that are pre-primed and ready for installation. •Install a set of pilasters on both sides of the shower stall and a door crosshead overhead.•Surround mirrors with lightweight poly-urethane mouldings. Paint, faux finish or stain the mouldings to complement the bathroom. •Install a small wall niche in a focal point of the room to display a flower arrange-ment or artwork. •Add distinction to the room with crown mouldings. •Give cabinets and shelving dimen-sion and visual appeal with brackets or corbels.

Fall home and gardenclean-up project tips(StatePoint) Fall is the ideal season to tick items off your home exterior to-do list. The weather is finally cooler, making the work more enjoyable; and a thor-ough fall clean-up will give you peace of mind all winter.

Your MVP during home maintenance season can be the pressure washer. Up to 75 times more powerful than a garden hose, a pressure washer is a versatile tool that offers an efficient way to get a variety of cleaning tasks done.

DeckOnce you’re ready to stash away out-door furniture for the season, remember to wash it down first for a deeper clean than a garden hose can provide. Before moving these items into storage, first let them dry completely.

Ensure your deck is free of mold and debris. A thorough clean will also serve to prep your deck for weatherproofing with a stain or sealant.

Outdoor SurfacesRejuvenate driveways, patios, sidewalks and other large flat surfaces quickly and with no streaking.

GrillFirst disconnect the propane tank and move it away from the area. Discon-nect any electrical lines. Prop up the hood and remove the grates. Treat the entire grill with a degreasing solution, working from the bottom of the cart up to the grill bed. Let the degreaser work for a few minutes. Be careful around gas hoses, connections, electrical compo-nents or heating elements.

Using a general medium-pressure spray pattern, flush detergent and rinse

any residue, working from the top down. Let the grill dry thoroughly, then coat with nonstick oil to help reduce future build-up.

SafetyOperate a pressure washer only outside, far away from windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.

Always wear goggles and closed-toe footwear when operating a pressure washer. Don’t spray near children, pets, electrical wires, or power lines. After use, allow the unit to cool down before storing.

EfficiencyTo switch between jobs more efficiently, consider a unit that offers versatility in its function.

Selling your home? How to get buyers in the door(StatePoint) Looking to sell your home? Then improve its curb appeal. That’s the advice of realtors who say that many home buyers won’t even get out of their cars unless they like the way the house looks from the street.

How do you make sure that your home isn’t passed by? Go by the Three C’s of Curb Appeal: Clean, Clutter-free and Colorful. Experts say that to achieve those goals it’s helpful to take a “top down” approach.

Start with the roof. Is it in good shape, clean and colorful? Does it complement the style of your home? If a new roof is in your future, consider a polymer slate or shake roofing product.

Working your way down the home,

make sure the siding, shutters and trim are in very good shape, making these upgrades before putting your house on the market.

Other improvements to consider for beauty and functionality include vinyl windows and an updated porch bal-ustrade system, which can offer clean lines and make a property really seem to pop.

For a clean, clutter-free exterior, power wash the driveway and walkways, trim back overgrown shrubbery and put away the yard art. Add pops of color around the outside, like new shutters, a fresh coat of paint on the front door and flowers in pots and window boxes.

Why you should aerate your lawn this fall(StatePoint) Fall is a great time to aerate the lawn. Whether you do it yourself or hire a lawn care professional to do it for you, aeration at least once per year provides a number of benefits to your lawn.

The main benefit is to relieve com-paction and increase pore space, which promotes gas exchange and microbial activity in the soil and creates a better, more supportive environment for lawn health and vitality. Aeration also pro-motes better soil drainage, which helps keep disease at bay and allows more wa-ter to percolate into the soil from rain or irrigation, meaning less runoff and more water getting where it needs to go.

Here are some tips to get the most

benefits from aeration:•Timing: Ideally, aeration should take place during times of active growth to help with recovery. Avoid aeration dur-ing times of heat stress or times preced-ing dormancy. It’s typically best to aerate cool season grasses in the spring or fall, while with warm season grasses, it’s best to aerate in late spring or early fall.•Proper equipment: Use gear that meets the needs of your lawn.•Follow-up: After aeration, it’s a good idea to water the lawn, as well as a good time to apply fertilizer or overseed if needed. Be careful not to apply a pre-emergent if you plan to overseed, however, as it will prevent the new seed from growing.
