We all know how annoying thermostats can be. You’re expected to read a huge manual to understand what’s going on. Thermostats are the only interaction you can have with your comfort system, so it can be really frustrating when nothing you do to the controls makes a difference. What a waste of time! Luckily, we’re just starting out on a new age of thermostats which are so totally different from the old style that it’s worth a few minutes of your time to learn about them. You could save so much time and money, and make your system work much better by just upgrading your old thermostat. It’s very affordable! A few options are listed , and if you’re interested just give us a call and we’d be delighted to talk about additional choices. Continued on page 3

Whether it’s a simple smile, or something more dramatic, any kind act you perform has the same positive effect – on both the recipient, and you! See Page 2

Don’t let the Holiday season be the only time you give to others. We all could use a little unexpected act of kindness once in a
while. We certainly welcome it. It not only restores our faith in humanity but also leads us to believe that, with the right amount of effort and willingness, we can achieve harmony and peace. For the most part, at least. Selflessness is the sincere
concern for the well being of others. It’s about love. It’s about compassion. It’s about kindness and faith. It’s about making a difference in the world. Sure, you are only one, but you are one. You cannot do everything, but you can do something. Smile
and enjoy the fact that you have the ability to make a difference – one you’ll likely remember forever.
1. Coat the beef cubes in flour, heat the oil in a pan, and brown the
coated beef and diced onions together. 2. Once the meat is browned, take it out, leaving the onions in, and
add the carrots, mushrooms and beef stock. 3. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then re-add the beef. Cover
the pan and simmer over a low heat for one to two hours, stirring occasionally.
4. Thirty minutes before you want to serve, add the potatoes. Add black pepper and salt before serving. Great served with fresh bread!
A hearty, warming stew that’s really easy to make, and will keep you cozy over winter.

First up for the smart thermostats is the media hyped Nest. This thermostat is beautiful (not a word you’ll often hear associated with thermostats!), and was designed by the same guy that invented the iPod! It’s sleek, changes color depending on what it’s doing (orange for heating, blue for cooling) and amazingly, it’s online. This means you can change the temperature in your house using a smartphone or a PC from work, from the restaurant, in fact from anywhere in the world! If you have a second home you rent out or that is often left empty, this feature could help the thermostat pay for itself in no time. Aside from all that, the Nest can sense when a room is occupied with its movement sensors. If you’ve ever forgotten to turn down the thermostat when you leave for the day (and who hasn’t!) then it’ll turn itself to a pre-set temperature when it’s sensed that the house has been empty for a while. Finally! The house of the future we were promised all those years ago! It’s an amazing device, but it’s going to be pretty complex to wire it in yourself, so just ask us and we’ll happily do it for you. Another is the Ecobee Smart Thermostat. It does everything the Nest can, and it even has a programmable calendar. This means that not only can you set what dates you’re going to be on vacation and what temperature you’d like it to be while you’re gone, but it’ll let you know about birthdays and holidays! It can access weather forecasts online, and adjust itself, as well as tell you what to expect when you venture outside. All this and it’ll produce regular reports you can view online to help you figure out what you should be doing with your heating and air conditioning, so you can save even more money.
