On bright, sunny days keep the lights off! Rely more on natural light by decorating your home with light-colored curtains that will let light enter a room while blocking some of the sun’s rays!

Tips to Shock the Electric Company this Summer!This summer, “shock” your electric company by cutting back on your energy usage! Here are some easy ways to beat the heat and keep money in your pocket!

Clean the lint filter in the dryer after each use. Dry heavy and light fabrics separately and don’t add wet items to a load that’s already partly dry. If available, use the moisture sensor setting (often called

Normal).

Running the stove or oven not only uses energy, but it will warm your house a few degrees. Take your cooking outdoors and grill more meals outdoors!

4You can also shock the electric company by maintaining your AC unit with a tune-up with a Gold Shield service agreement! This routine service can save up to 10% on energy costs! Call us today to schedule your Gold Shield system tune up!

Plumbing, Heating and AC Service

We decided to finally install central air in our home. We also installed a new heating system. IT Landes came out and wrote up an estimate for us. He checked the square footage of the home and rooms to be cooled/heated and checked the existing ductwork. We were offered a couple of choices to place the a/c unit. The office was available to answer follow up questions. The job was done in 2 days and they applied for a manufacturer's rebate for me. They also helped complete the paperwork to apply for a PECO rebate. – Carolyn H., Chalfont, PA ”

Use HEPA FiltersClean floors with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA(high-efficiency particulate air) filter. These filters trap 99.97% of microscopic particles in the air.

No Outdoor Laundry DryingWhile it may be tempting to line dry clothes or sheets in warmer weather, don’t! They’ll collect pollen while hanging outside.

Shoes OffTake off your shoes at the door and ask guests to do the same. That keeps allergens outside.
