Is it time for a new furnace?

Is it time for a new furnace?

www.realtorpankajpatel.com
(NC) Sooner or later, every furnace dies. Ideally, you don't want to wait for the unfixable breakdown to happen in the dead of winter before shopping for a replacement. Begin your research before you've got an emergency and you'll have time to choose a furnace and service company wisely. Here are some factors to consider.
Age. If your furnace is over 15 years old, it's unwise to trust it for more than a few years longer; repair costs are also more expensive for older models. If your 10-year-old furnace needs repairs that cost half of the installed price of a new furnace, then a replacement can make more sense. But if your 20-year-old furnace needs work, then even a small repair bill can mean it's time to replace the old clunker.
Heat exchanger. This is the heart of the furnace and it's impractical to repair it. Furnace replacement is often the only option if the heat exchanger is at the end of its useful life.
Efficiency. A new high-efficiency furnace can more than pay for itself over time. Moving from a furnace with an overall efficiency of 75 percent to a new furnace that delivers 95 percent efficiency saves you more than $20 per month for every $100 a month you spend on fuel.
Fuel type. If you've got natural gas available where you live but your furnace uses something else, then consider this when you switch to a new furnace. Natural gas is currently much less expensive than any other home heating fuel, and this is unlikely to change in the future.
Renovation plans. If you're thinking of finishing your basement in the near future, this is another good reason to consider replacing an older furnace. It's a lot easier to get the old furnace out and a new one in before your basement is finished, with less risk to newly finished floors and walls. New furnaces can also be substantially smaller than old ones. Finishing your basement after furnace replacement lets you make full use of any extra space freed up.
Make sure that the heating contractor you hire is properly licensed and provides a complete written contract for the work to be done.

Safe at Home with Smoke Alarms

P2P Logo
Posted by 
Smoke alarms are an important defense against injury or death in house fires. Statistics from the National Fire Protection Association show that nearly two-thirds of home fire fatalities occur in homes with non-working or missing smoke detectors. Most building codes now require smoke detectors in all residential structures, which has resulted in a steep drop in fire- and smoke-related deaths. Homeowners should check with their local public safety office or fire department for specific information on these requirements.
  • As in real estate, location is key! Smoke alarms should be in installed every bedroom, outside every sleeping area, and on each level of the home.
  • Alarms should be placed high on a wall or on the ceiling. It’s best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for placement. High, peaked ceilings have dead air space at the top; in these instances smoke alarms should be placed no closer than 3 feet from the highest point.
  • For areas close to the kitchen, use a detector with a “hush button” that can be used to silence nuisance alarms triggered by cooking smoke or steam. Alternatively, consider installing a photoelectric alarm near the kitchen, which will not be triggered by cooking. No matter which type is used, never remove the unit’s battery to stop or prevent nuisance alarms.
  • There are two primary types of smoke alarm technology: ionization and photoelectric. According to the National Fire Protection Association, ionization alarms are more responsive to flames, while photoelectric alarms are more sensitive to smoldering fires. For the most comprehensive protection, both types or a combination unit should be installed.
  • Test each alarm monthly. It’s helpful to put a reminder in the calendar to do this on the first or last day of the month, for example. The units have a test button that will sound the alarm for a moment or two when pressed. Any alarm that fails to sound should have the battery replaced. If the test button fails with a new battery, replace the entire detector immediately. Monthly testing is also an ideal time to dust off the unit so that it continues to work properly.
  • Replace the batteries at least once a year. A common rule of thumb is to do this when changing to or from Daylight Saving Time in fall or spring. Remember, a non-working alarm is no better than no alarm at all. Some alarms now come with 10-year lithium batteries that eliminate the need for new batteries, but the unit itself must be replaced after its stated lifespan.
  • If the alarms are hard-wired to the home’s electrical system, make sure they are interconnected for maximum effectiveness – meaning that if one alarm is triggered, all of the others will sound as well. Any hard-wired alarms, interconnected or not, should be installed by a licensed electrician for safety and proper operation.
  • The newest type of interconnected alarms are wireless. This technology allows detectors to communicate with one another and, like their hard-wired cousins, will sound all of the units at the same time even if just one is triggered initially.

Buyer’s Guide: Freestanding Bathtubs

eieihome

Buyer’s Guide: Freestanding Bathtubs


The latest wave of freestanding tubs is making a splash in the world of bathroom design. They are attention-commanding statement pieces, beloved both for their aesthetics and for the deep soak they can provide.
Whether intended for a bathroom makeover or new build, a freestanding tub can instantly provide the luxurious spa feeling that many homeowners covet. Available in an extensive variety of styles and materials, they work beautifully with most design styles, from farmhouse to contemporary and beyond.
When shopping around for the ideal tub to be featured in your new bathroom, there are several factors that you should consider. Since freestanding tubs play much more of a starring role than the integrated variety, you will find that the emphasis on looks will be a much bigger part of your overall consideration.

Tub Size

Freestanding bathtubs are available in a variety of different lengths and widths. Most suppliers offer tubs starting at 45 inches long, all the way up to 75 inches and beyond. Typical tub widths start at 25 inches and extend to 45 inches wide and sometimes even wider.
Another factor to keep in mind when searching for your new freestanding tub is who will be using it. If you happen to be a petite person, and only plan to use the tub solo, then you can safely get away with something more compact. However, a tall person, or a family with more than one kid at a time enjoying the tub, will want to shop for something roomier.
Freestanding tubs look best when surrounded by a generous amount of negative space. This means that you may want to consider a model that doesn’t completely dominate the allotted space.

Tub Features

While the primary feature of any bathtub is that it allows you to enjoy a good soak, there are several more options to consider. The technology available in freestanding tubs has advanced greatly. This makes is possible for you to enjoy the beauty and style of a freestanding tub, along with additional features that are more often found in an integrated tub.
Available features may include things like air bath technology, whirlpool jets, and a heated surface.

Tub Design

Freestanding tubs are available in several different designs and styles. Whether your bathroom is rustic or high-end, you can find a tub that complements your décor. Here are some of the styles you can find on the market:
Clawfoot – The classic, freestanding-style tub. As the name suggests, clawfoot tubs are lifted off of the ground by four typically ornately, designed feet.
Pedestal –This style of tub is elevated by a pedestal base.
Slipper Tubs – Slipper tubs are higher on one end than on the other. This shape makes it more comfortable for leisurely soaking.
Double Slipper Tubs – These tubs are high on both ends, allowing for a comfortable couple’s soak.
Ofuro Tubs – These are deep, Japanese soaking tubs that allow users to soak up to the neck in steaming water.

Material

Tub construction is another area that you’ll need to consider when shopping for a new, freestanding tub. The factors that go into making this choice are cost, durability and looks. For the most part, any style of tub can be found in most of the following materials. However, as in the case of Ofuro tubs, options may be limited.
Enameled Tubs – Enameled tubs are constructed of steel with a porcelain overlay. Pros of this option are that they are easy to clean, durable, and offer a vintage look. On the Cons side, they tend to be very heavy and can chip under impact.
Acrylic –This option wraps formed sheets of acrylic around air or fiberglass, to create a tub that is lightweight and low-maintenance. This versatile material and construction allows tubs to be crafted in a number of different colours and shapes.
Wood –Most bathtubs found in North America are not made of wood. However, Japanese soaking tubs are often constructed from Hinoki wood or Port Orford Cedar. These woods are used for their antiseptic properties.
Cast Iron –If you’re looking for a tub that will last for generations, cast iron is the choice for you. These tubs are made from molten iron that has been coated with enamel. It’s chip-resistant, scratch-resistant, dent-resistant, and extremely heavy. In fact, installing a cast iron tub often requires extra floor reinforcement. Not surprisingly, it’s among the most expensive tub materials on the market.
Stone –Marble, travertine, and granite tubs are a luxurious splurge. This style of tub definitely commands attention … and demands a healthy budget.
Solid Surface –This option provides the look of stone, but at a lower cost and at a lighter weight.
With such a wide variety of tub styles, materials and sizes, it’s easy to see that there are options available to suit almost any budget and style. The perfect freestanding tub is out there and waiting to play a starring role in your bathroom renovation.

How To Prepare Your Community For The Next Hurricane With Evercondo

How To Prepare Your Community For The Next Hurricane With Evercondo

In the wake of disasters such as Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, we are reminded of the vast importance of communication and keeping communities informed and connected. When these types of events occur, there is often panic and chaos. Communities are faced with many questions about how to prepare in advance, where to find updated news, and what to do after the storm has passed. Platforms such as Evercondo are essential for staying organized and having necessary information available in one convenient location.

Before a Storm

Before a natural disaster strikes, Condo Associations and HOAs should reach out to members and let them know how they can prepare and what safety precautions to take. They can also share what the Association is doing to keep property and members safe. Instead of relying on members to get information from a variety of outlets, Evercondo can be used to send announcements via email, SMS, voice, or push notifications. Members receive important messages straight from the Association and know exactly what applies to them and what they should be doing.

After a Storm

Once the storm has passed, Evercondo can be a valuable tool in managing cleanup, ensuring that members are accounted for, and quickly accessing necessary documents whether for insurance claims or to partner with service providers. By maintaining updated contact information for all residents, Associations know who is living the community, where they live, and how to get in touch with them.
It is also a wonderful platform that makes it easier for residents to submit requests for repairs or alert the Association about potential problems. All service requests are tracked to ensure that they are not overlooked. On the flip side, the Association can notify members regarding any damage or outages and update them on progress as these problems are corrected. All messages are neatly organized in one location so board members and property managers are all on the same page and know what is happening.
By keeping communities connected, Associations can also notify residents about ways that they can help the community or others in need. There are frequently fundraisers and donation drives that take place after natural disasters or other major events. One way that members can always help – and how Evercondo has been supporting those in need – is by donating to the Red Cross. Monetary donations of any size are appreciated and go toward fulfilling the needs of those affected by disasters such as Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
If your community is looking for an easy, convenient way to stay in touch with members, organize Association files and events, and make communication more efficient and effective, find out how Evercondo can help.
Evercondo is the leading web and mobile platform that facilitates quick and useful communication between community managers, HOA board, and residents. Contact us for a demonstration or sign up for a free trial to see how we can keep your communities happy today!

Tips To Prepare Your Home For A Newborn

Whether you just bought a house or are a longtime homeowner, it can still be a daunting task to prepare your home for a newborn. That is especially true if you are expecting the birth of your first child. Obviously, you will want to make preparations long before you go into labor.
Obviously you will rely on friends and family for advice, but in the event they are not available or you are seeking out answers for yourself, this checklist will help. There really is no substitute to being ready, so do not procrastinate, and be sure to follow the tips below to prepare your home for a newborn!


Your Baby Will Need A Place To Sleep

Now that is obvious but there is more to it then that so you need to weigh your options before deciding on a course of action. For instance, some may choose a co-sleep option and will not buy any type of bed for a newborn. Many others will buy a crib, Moses basket, and/or bassinet. It is entirely up to you.
Another thing you should plan ahead is a bedroom for your baby. Initially you may choose to share a bedroom with your newborn to monitor them or for convenience of feedings. How quickly or slowly they get their own space is a personal decision but you should plan ahead for the eventuality of not sharing a bedroom with your baby.

Changing Table

The first year of your baby’s life will be packed with diaper changing, and you will need a clean and convenient working station for this activity. Your options are limited here but the style and location are not, especially if you or a loved one are handy. You could buy/make a changing table or settle with a changing pad which can be placed anywhere there is a flat surface.
Do not fret if you do not have enough time or money to initially setup a space. You will soon find you can change your baby’s diaper basically anywhere. On top of a bed, low cabinet, table, or even the floor will do the trick. Just make sure you sanitize common areas after changing your baby.

Provide Clothing For A Newborn

A pretty basic need. But, have you seen the prices for new baby clothes? Yikes! Let family buy the initial clothes if that is an option since newborns grow so quickly and you will not get as much use out of the clothes as you think you might. Instead, focus on 6 months+ if possible.
There is nothing wrong with getting hand-me-downs or buying used. In fact, you can save a lot of money that you will need elsewhere if you forego buying new and instead buy clothes at yard sales, thrift stores, or use old baby clothes from your relatives and close friends.
Ensure you have plenty of room to store, by size, the items you acquire. While a dresser is the obvious choice, you can also get decent closet and under-the-bed storage options if you shop around.

Purchase Bottles and/or A Breast Pump

Babies eat, sleep, and poop. Period. Having a plan for feedings is fairly easy as you will breast feed, bottle feed, or use a combination of the two. Of course these are personal choices so do what you feel is best for your particular situation. In some cases, for women who have difficulties breastfeeding, the choice to bottle feed will be made for you.
If you decide to breastfeed, buying a pump is an option you will want to consider. One of the benefits of a breast pump is it will allow you to plan ahead for future meals. This is beneficial as your significant other can periodically do the 2:00am feeding and allow you to catch up on a few hours of sleep. 😉

Prepare Your Car For The Baby

Your newborn needs to be strapped in a child restraint system in order to take them home from the hospital. In fact, anytime they ride in the vehicle ensure they are safely strapped in. Not sure what you need? Check out this handy car seat recommendations for children resource.
This is another purchase that may be more practical to buy used or acquire from a family or friend, especially if the car seat is in good condition and/or relatively new. Like all things given, if you keep it in good shape, consider paying it forward to someone else when your baby moves up to a larger sized car seat. Think safety first whatever you decide!

De-Clutter The House

Chances are you will be nesting before the baby arrives so use the opportunity to de-clutter, clean, and get organized if your energy level allows. If you are in the midst of a rental or home ownership move, it could be beneficially to leave the job to a bond cleaning expert or other professional service to free up some much needed time. Whatever the case, the cleaner and more organized your home is before the baby arrives, the better. You will initially be too tired to deal with those chores once the baby is born so tackle the tasks while you can.
The easiest way to dispose of all unneeded items is to organize a yard sale or donate to charity. If there is stuff which is more valuable and you do not have enough space for it, consider renting storage space so you can still enjoy the items in the future.

Install A Screen Door

In case you decided to set up a nursery for your newborn, it is worth considering changing the standard door with a wooden screen door. It is unorthodox, but they are incredibly practical and can help protect your baby’s room from pets and curious guests, and you will be able to hear any sounds and see through the screen without disturbing your newborn.
If you are creative, they are very easy to paint and decorate to match the rest of the nursery. Another good addition is a decorative window shade or colorful blinds which will help shut out light so your baby can sleep. It is a practical way to be protective while maintaining functionality at the same time.

Get A Rocking Chair

This worked for both of my children and for countless others I know. The rocking motion is soothing, is convenient for feedings, and ideal for when you want to help your baby get back to sleep. They are relatively inexpensive and can be an excellent addition to any room without clashing with the existing décor. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles and will be a blessing during those long nights when you just cannot seem to get any rest.

Make Your Home Baby Friendly

You should start making your house baby friendly months before he/she arrives. Convenience is a key as you will need easy and quick access to a variety of baby essentials during your child’s first year. Baby proofing is a continual effort and should be re-done in all stages of your baby’s development.
Of course, once your kid starts crawling, you will need to re-evaluate your home safety needs and make necessary modifications.  Once your little one learns to walk, you will need to update your proofing system. Start working on making your home as baby friendly as possible, as quickly as is practical, and you will save yourself plenty of time as they begin to grow.

Purchase High-Quality Literature

Whether you are expecting your firstborn or have some previous experience raising children, having a handy baby care book is always a good option. While past experiences (if you have them) and even family, friends, and the Internet can be good resources, it is smart to better educate yourself on each of the development stages your baby will go through.
Being prepared for the myriad of issues and concerns that will crop up will help keep you level headed and aid in your decision-making process to learn, solve, and prevent future situations from getting out of control. Having high quality literature close by provides peace of mind and confidence when you most need the help.

Capture The Most Important Moments

Technology has come a long way in the past 25 years. Now it is easier than ever to capture every moment and preserve those treasured memories in a variety of ways and formats. Take advantage of the opportunities you have and when they are older the images/videos will not only be nostalgic but will be a wonderful opportunity to reminisce and share those precious memories with others (especially your kids).

Get Some Baby Gear

Think of buying a swing, which can be useful when your baby grows up a bit. It is really nice to have a bouncer, baby carrier or a play mat as well. Another useful item that is a must on many parents lists is a baby monitor, which will come in handy if your baby is in another room.
All of this items are relatively inexpensive and would make great baby shower gifts which will save you the cost of purchasing them yourself. As your child grows and develops their own unique personality, you can change the baby swag to fit their particular needs.

Conclusion

There are plenty of ways to prepare your home for a newborn, and those mentioned above should help out considerably during the newborn phase. As your baby grows, you will see what he/she prefers and can adjust your style accordingly.
While it is satisfying and important to buy “stuff” to help get you started and to maintain a balanced home-front, there is no substitute for love and attention. Happy days as you prepare your home for a newborn baby!

    A beginner's guide to buying appliances

    www.realtorpankajpatel.com
    (NC) With so many options to consider, shopping for appliances can sometimes feel overwhelming. Function, size and design — it's about finding the right model for your lifestyle. Here are a few helpful insights from The Home Depot Canada to consider before making your next appliance purchase.

     Refrigerator 

     Function.
    The sky's the limit when it comes to configuration — top-mount, bottom-mount and side-by-side are just the beginning. Review your daily needs and consider special features such as easy access doors, multi-tier freezer sections, icemakers, second refrigerator drawer options, convertible freezer sections, wine chillers and even smart home-connected capabilities.

    Design.
    Think outside traditional white or stainless-steel finishes. Instead, bring a contemporary feel to your kitchen with slate, glossy or matte black stainless or even a warm, gold-hued veneer. 

    Range

    Configuration
     New designs have a host of convenient options available, like double ovens that cook at two different temperatures simultaneously and warming and baking drawers to help with multi-tasking and entertaining. If space is tight, also consider installing a separate cooktop for maximum flexibility in your kitchen.

    Cooking requirements.
     If take-out is your regular go-to, a standard electric model will work for your needs. However, if you are an aspiring chef take it up a notch and consider going with either gas or induction, which both deliver intense heat for quick cooking and boiling. If you have small children, induction cooking is a safer alternative because the coils are underneath glass, protecting little hands.

    Dishwasher

    Capability.
    Take the work out of washing dishes by opting for a dishwasher with multiple tiers and washer arms for full water coverage. To ensure your cycle doesn't stop until your dishes are clean, look for models with new sensor technology that monitor food debris in the water. Ensure the model you choose considers future changes to your family size so it grows with you, and look into getting a model with a third rack.

    Efficiency.
    Energy efficient options can provide long-term savings to your monthly bills. For example, two-drawer dishwashers operate like separate dishwashers in one unit, offering increased flexibility and efficiency. To save you time, look for bonus features like quiet operation or advanced cleaning functions.
