WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME Your new home was built by a professional builder who used high quality materials and the latest construction technology. As a member of the Central Oregon Builders Association, your builder had available the resources of one of the nation’s largest and most professional trade associations. More than 3,000 component parts went into your home. Thousands of people had a hand in producing them. Now the components have been assembled into a fine and beautiful house for your enjoyment and comfort. Before you move in, you should inspect your new home thoroughly to see that everything has been completed as agreed upon. Make sure that you are satisfied and that the builder’s contractual obligations have been met. On your inspection with the builder, ask for the whereabouts of circuit breakers, water shut-off valves, gas shut-off valves, sewer cleanout, phone box, septic system (if any), and buried tanks and lines (propane, electric, telephone, and cable). If you discover that minor repairs are needed, formally notify the builder in writing – immediately. Telephone calls, oral statements, or messages on scraps of paper can get lost or be forgotten. If you have initial service problems, make a list of items and give it to your builder at the end of a specified period – perhaps six weeks after you move in or at some time you have mutually agreed upon. Adverse
A WAR R AN T Y G U I D E T O YO U R N E W H O M E | 1
weather conditions or temporarily unavailable labor or materials may delay the completion of the jobs on your list. When this happens, your builder will explain the circumstances to you. The manufacturers and trade contractors who made or installed the various parts and equipment in your house will be responsible for handling some of the service problems that may arise while you are living in the house. However, you are responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of your new home. This booklet will help you understand what you must do to maintain your new home in working order and to keep problems to a minimum.
GET TO KNOW YOUR NEW HOME THIS BOOKLET HAS THREE PURPOSES: – To give a general introduction to the most familiar components of today’s new homes. – To provide you with basic information needed to care for and maintain your home. – To prepare you for the minor adjustments and repairs necessary in most new homes. Some of the items covered are essential to every home and some are not. For instance, you may or may not have a fireplace, but you certainly will have a heating system and a water supply shutoff valve.
COMPONENTS OF YOUR HOME AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS If your home has a central air conditioning system, it should give you years of reliable comfort if properly maintained. The following information can help you get the maximum benefit from your central air conditioner. See also “Thermostats” under “Heating Systems”. REGISTERS – The registers throughout your house help to regulate the flow of air and to maintain the desired temperature. By opening and closing the registers and dampers, you can regulate the amount of cool air that enters a room. Carefully adjusted dampers will work with the thermostat to maintain the temperature of your home. Closing registers and doors to rooms not in use is a good way to reduce cooling costs. If you have a combined cooling and heating system, the same registers and dampers will be used to regulate the flow of the heat to the rooms. In addition to the air outlets, your house will have one or more air return registers. Neither these nor the other registers should ever be constructed by furniture, drapes, or other objects. FILTERS – Most central air conditioners have an air filer to help clean the air in your home. The instruction manual for your cooling system will tell you the location of the filter and how to clean or replace it. See also “Heating Systems”. REDUCING COOLING COSTS – Open doors, windows, and fireplace flues and clogged filters can negate the effects of insulation and cause inadequate cooling. For increased energy savings and
2 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
comfort during the summer, keep windows and doors closed, run heat-generating appliances such as dishwashers or conventional ovens later in the evening, and set your thermostat higher at night. Remember that in the summer, part of the heat removed from the home by the cooling system is generated inside by lights, appliances, and people. ANNUAL INSPECTION – Like a heating system, a central air-conditioning system should be checked and cleaned periodically by a professional. See your system’s instruction manual for the frequency of this care.
APPLIANCES Your new electric or gas appliances come with instruction manuals and other papers. Read all instruction literature carefully and fill out and mail documents necessary to record warranties. Keep a list of authorized service agencies with each instruction manual. If an electric appliance fails to operate, be sure it is plugged in before you call a repair service. If the appliance is separately wired, be sure the circuit breaker is still on. See “Circuit Breakers”. If a gas appliance with a standing pilot light fails to work, check to see if the pilot light is lit. Note that many gas appliances now use electric ignitions. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the main gas valve near the meter and call the gas company immediately. WARNING: Do not light matches, smoke cigarettes, make phone calls, or turn light on or off in the vicinity of the suspected leak.
ATTICS Attics, or spaces immediately below roofs, vary in size from crawl spaces to areas large enough to be converted into extra rooms. STORAGE – Many homes have attic space that can be used for storage. However, some homes are now built with roof trusses and do not have usable storage spaces in the attic. If you use your attic for storage, be careful not to put too much weight on your attic floor, which protects delicate insulation and may not be as strong as the floors in the living areas of your home. Attics are susceptible to extremes of heat and cold because attic walls usually are not insulated. Materials stored in attics should not be combustible or perishable under these extreme temperatures. INSULATION – Your home has been constructed to be energy efficient. Be certain that material stored in the attics do not compress the insulation because compressed insulation is less effective. This is true of both blown cellulose and traditional fiberglass insulation. Occasionally, the insulation on the attic floor may be out of place and leave gaps or block the path of attic ventilation. If either of these situations occurs, return the insulation to its proper location. Protect your skin, eyes, nose, and mouth if you will be handling fiberglass insulation. The attics access cover may have insulation attached to the top side. It should also remain securely in place so that less heat is lost through the access hole. LOUVERS – Your attic may have louvered openings to allow warm, moist air to escape. Louvered openings should remain unobstructed at all times. If they are closed, harmful quantities of moisture may accumulate.

BATHTUBS, SINK, AND SHOWERS Bathtubs, sinks and showers are made of a variety of materials. Bathtubs are most frequently made of vitreous china, porcelain enamel on cast iron or steel, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic. Bathroom sinks are usually made of vitreous china, of porcelain enamel on cast iron or steel, or of marble resin. Showers are most frequently made of ceramic tile, fiberglass-reinforced plastic, or molded plastics. Kitchen sinks are generally made of porcelain enamel or stainless steel. Laundry tubs or sinks are usually made of fiberglass or plastic. To prolong the life of bathtubs and sinks, follow these precautions: – Do not let food wastes stand in the sink. If you have a garbage disposal, dispose of food waste as it accumulates. If you do not have a disposal, put these wastes in an appropriate container. – Do not use bathtubs or sinks to hold paint cans, trash, or tools when you are redecorating; cover bathroom fixtures when painting walls, ceilings, and woodwork. – Do not wear shoes in a bathtub for any reason. Shoe soles carry hundreds of gritty particles that can scratch the surface, regardless of the material. – Do not use photographic or developing solutions in bathtubs or sinks. Developer stains are extremely difficult to remove. See also “Drains,” “Faucets”, and “Plumbing”. By observing theses suggestions and using proper cleaning techniques, bathtubs and sinks will retain their luster for many years. However, once damage has occurred, the best refinisher in town cannot undo it completely. VITREOUS CHINA AND PORCELAIN ENAMEL – The surface of these fixtures are smooth and glossy like a mirror and durable, but they are not indestructible. Carelessness causes chipping, scratches, and stains. A blow from a heavy or sharp object will chip the surface, and scraping or banging metal utensils will gradually scratch and dull the surface. Shiny new fixtures can also be dulled or stained within a short time through improper or excessive use of strong abrasive cleansers. Most household cleaners are mildly abrasive but are safe if used with plenty of water. A nonabrasive cleaner is safer. If you prefer a dry material, baking soda in nonabrasive. STAINLESS STEEL – Stainless steel fixtures generally resist staining and require a thorough scrubbing only occasionally. Use a nonabrasive cleanser or a household stainless steel cleanser. PLASTIC AND OTHER SUBSTANCES – A nonabrasive cleaner usually works well with plastic and other substances, but you may ask your plumbing contractor to recommend a good cleaner for the particular material in question. Special commercial cleansers are also available. You can apply a wax or other surface protector to make cleaning easier and keep the units glossy. GLASS SHOWER ENCLOSURES OR STALLS – To clean glass shower enclosures, an ordinary dishwashing detergent (not soap) should do a good job. If hard water minerals have built up, use a household glass cleaner. In order to keep your glass looking clean, the enclosure should be wiped clean after every use. WARNING: Use ample ventilation, avoid breathing the vapor from the spray, and wear rubber gloves. CAULKING – When the caulking around your bathtub or sink dries out or cracks, remove the old caulking and replace it. If you don’t have a caulking gun, you can buy caulking material in applicator tubes or in a disposable caulking guns from a home supply store. Fill the tub with water before caulking it, More is not necessarily better when it comes to caulking. See also “Drains”.
4 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
FOOD STAINS – For most food stains, use a mild solution of chlorine bleach (about 3 tablespoons to a quart of water), and rinse well. For stubborn stains, wait five minutes before rinsing. Do not use chlorine bleach on stainless steel. You can also use a paste of equal parts of cream of tartar, 6 percent hydrogen peroxide, and a household cleaner. Leave paste on the stain for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing. Cutting food on sink drain boards can leave scratches and nicks. The finish is then susceptible to stains, which become increasingly difficult to remove. See “Countertops”. MILDEW – Even in climate-controlled homes, mildew (another name for mold) can appear in areas of high humidity, such as bathrooms and laundry rooms. You can take positive steps to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mold growth by keeping the humidity in the home low. Vent clothes dryers to the outdoors. Ventilate rooms, particularly kitchens and bathrooms, by opening the windows, using exhaust fans, or running the air conditioner or a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture in the air. Promptly clean up spills, condensation, and other sources of moisture. Thoroughly dry any wet surfaces or material. Do not let piles of wet towels or clothing stand in the home. Regular vacuuming and cleaning will also help reduce spore levels. Should mold or mildew growth develop, scrub clean with a commercial tile cleaner. PAINT – Most oil-based paint will come off easily with paint remover. Newly spilled water-based paint will come off with a cloth dampened in liquid household cleaner. Small paint spots may be removed by scraping with a razor blade. To prevent surface damage, be sure the blade is slanted against the fixture. Remove any residue with a heavy-duty liquid household cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after using any of these. RUST STAINS – Rust stains occur when wet metal utensils are left on the surface of the sink or tubs. Steel wool soap pads also will rust and stain when wet and should be kept in an appropriate container. Rust stains are almost always permanent on fiberglass surfaces.
BLINDS Before raising venetian blinds, be sure that the slats are in the open position. Blinds may be permanently damaged if they are raised when the slats are closed. CLEANING – Dust will cause the finish of your blinds to deteriorate. Clean the slats often with a soft cloth or blind-cleaning tool (available in many home supply stores). Occasionally the blinds will need to be taken down and washed thoroughly. The tapes and cords should also be periodically replaced by your or a professional.
CABINETS Kitchen and bathroom cabinets (or vanities) should never be cleaned with harsh abrasives. Use a detergent solution for cabinets made of laminate wood or metal. Clean wood cabinets as you would clean any other wood furniture unless they are plastic coated. It is best to ask the builder what cleaners to use on your particular cabinets. Keep cabinet doors and drawers closed when not in use. Occasionally, check the cabinet hinges and screws to make sure they have not worked loose.
A WAR R AN T Y G U I D E T O YO U R N E W H O M E | 5
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS Your new home may be equipped with one or more carbon monoxide detectors. These devices resemble smoke detectors and are designed to sound on alarm if the level of carbon monoxide in the home reaches a harmful point. Carefully review the manufacturer’s instructions for the care and maintenance of your carbon monoxide detector. Some units are battery operated and some are wired into your home’s electrical system. Either type should be tested frequently. If the alarm on your carbon monoxide detector sounds, treat the alarm as you would a smoke alarm and evacuate the house immediately and call the fire department.
CARPETING Most carpeting has built-in stain resistance, which prevents spills and dirt from setting in the fibers. While most stain resistant treatment is fairly effective, it is not a substitute for prompt cleanup of household mishaps. Attaching furniture rests to the bottom of furniture legs distributes weight better and helps protect carpet. Your carpet should require little maintenance beyond regular vacuuming and occasional cleaning for tough stains or build up of dirt in high traffic areas. If you plan to use carpet stain removal products from a supermarket or home supply store, read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before using. You may want to apply a small amount of cleaner to an out-of-view area of the carpet to test for color fading.
CEILINGS See “Walls and Ceilings”.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS Circuit breakers and fuses protect the electrical wiring and equipment in your home from overloading. They are the safety valves of your home’s electrical system. Every house should have a master circuit breaker. It generally is located near the smaller circuit breakers. When the master circuit breaker is tripped, the electricity to the house is cut off. Circuit breakers may be reset by first switching the breaker to full off and then back to full on. ELECTRICAL SERVICE ENTRANCES – The electrical service entrance provides power to the service panel. It has been designed for the electrical needs of the house. Do not tamper with this cable. POWER FAILURES – In case of a complete power failure, first determine if your neighbors have power. If they do not, notify the power company. If the power failure affects only your house, check the master switch and circuit breakers. If one circuit breaker continues to trip, check to see if you have overloaded the circuit. If not, call an electrician. Failure to fix a short circuit could result in a fire. See “Electrical Receptacles”.
CONDENSATION See “Foundations” and “Walls and Ceilings”.

COUNTERTOPS Countertops are generally heat- and stain- resistant under normal use, but they should be protected from hot pots, pans, or baking dishes taken from an over or stovetop. Do not cut food directly on the countertop because the knife may dent or nick the surface. Countertops made of plastic-coated wood or metal may be cleaned with a detergent solution. According to their manufacturers, most stains wipe off of solid surface materials because they are not porous. Stubborn stains can be rubbed off with abrasive household cleanser or fine sandpaper. Because marble is easily stained or etched, it should be protected according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Compatible sealing, polishing, and cleaning products are available from suppliers of marble and from some hardware stores. Granite and solid surface materials do not stain easily and are less prone to scratching than marble. The maintenance of these countertops is minimal, outside of the occasional polishing. Any countertop or work surface made from unfinished wood will require special care. To protect it from spills, coat the surface (including the edges) lightly with olive oil. Let the oil soak in for a few minutes, and then rub it dry with a soft, lint less cloth. Several thin coats will provide better protection than one heavy coat. To remove onion, garlic, or other odors, rub the surface with a slice of citrus fruit (lemon, orange, etc.), sprinkle lightly with salt, and wipe immediately with a soft cloth or paper towel. Clean it with a mild bleach solution once a week. Use a separate board for cutting raw meat. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. If you do not have a built-in chopping block, but a portable cutting board to protect you countertops and drain boards.
DECKS Decks are a highly desirable feature for outdoor enjoyment. The wood used in decks is usually pressure treated, but decks generally require some maintenance to protect them from moisture. After the moisture from the treatment dries out and periodically thereafter, pressure-treated wood decks should have a coat of water repellent and preservative. Follow the supplier’s recommendations. Over time a floorboard may warp, causing a nail to pop up. Screw down or replace the floorboard if needed.
DISPOSALS If you have a garbage disposal, the manufacturer’s instructions will give precise directions for disposal operation. Always use cold water when the disposal is on and especially when grinding greasy substances. Many people erroneously conclude that because their wasted disposal is capable of grinding up most food waste, it is also capable of eliminating grease and other substances they would not otherwise pour down a drain. In fact, you should be equally careful not to clog disposal drains with grease. In addition, you should avoid putting fibrous materials such as banana peels or cornhusks down your disposal. Also avoid grinding bones or other hard materials. Should the drain become clogged, do not put chemicals down the disposal. See also “Drains”. RESET BUTTONS – Most disposals have a reset button that works in much the same way as a circuit breaker. Should the disposal become overloaded with a substance it cannot grind, it will turn itself off. If this happens, turn the switch off, remove the substance obstructing the disposal’s operation, wait about three minutes, and push the reset button. See your instruction booklet for its location. Turn the switch
A WAR R AN T Y G U I D E T O YO U R N E W H O M E | 7
on; if it’s still does not start, turn it off again and check to see if you have tripped the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker has been tripped, turn off the circuit breaker (as a safely precaution) and use a mop or broom handle to turn the rotating plate in the disposal unit until it turns freely. Restore current, push the reset button again, and turn the disposals switch on. Some disposals come equipped with a special wrench or tool that can be inserted either in a hole in the bottom of the disposal (under the sink) or into the top of the rotating plate. Turning the wrench a couple of times should loosen the material enough so that the disposal will start. Warning: Be absolutely sure the circuit breaker is off before inserting a broomstick, wrench, or anything else to remove material when the disposal is stalled.
DOORS STICKING – Sticking is the most common problem with doors. If the sticking is caused by swelling in damp weather, fold sandpaper around a wooden block and sand the edge that sticks. If the hinge screws are loose, tighten them, and if the door is still out of alignment, sand or plane the edge that sticks. Always paint or varnish areas that have been sanded or planed. Paint and varnish protect wood from moisture and help to prevent further door problems. WARPING – Warping is usually caused by excessive moisture. If a door warps, the best remedy is to drip it in the sun. If the door is still warped after being thoroughly dried, apply weights to the bulged side and leave them in place for two or three days. STORM DOORS – A storm door may reduce your heating costs. Storm doors are usually made of aluminum, wood, vinyl-clad wood, or solid vinyl. Houses with insulated steel exterior doors do not need separate storm doors. While less prevalent in mild climates, storm doors can still help reduce heating and air conditioning costs and provide an added security barrier. WEATHER STRIPPING – To maintain your home’s energy efficiency, exterior doors come equipped with weather stripping made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and rubber. This weather stripping must remain in place to prevent the loss of expensively conditioned air or infiltration of outside air. Metal weather stripping may need to be re-nailed if it becomes loose, bent out away from the edge of the door, or it does not seal tightly when the door is closed. This simple repair requires only a pair of pliers or a hammer and the right nails. For rubber or plastic weather stripping, re-nailing or re-gluing with a strong, water-resistant household glue should be all that is necessary. Do not use a cyanoacrylic (super) glue. PAINTING AND CLEANING – Wood exterior doors should be painted when the house or trim is painted, or about every four to six years. Varnished doors may need to be re-coated more often. Aluminum, vinyl-clad wood, and solid vinyl doors do not need to be painted. To clean painted doors, us a mild detergent. For doors with a polyurethane varnish, use a damp cloth. Doors with other types of varnish should be cleaned like good furniture. For care and cleaning of glass in doors, see “Windows”. GARAGE DOORS – The moving parts of garage doors should be greased every three months with a substance specially designed for garage doors. The screws that fasten the hardware to a wood door should be tightened every 12 months because the wood shrinks a little as it ages, and the screws may loosen. If a hinged, wooden door sags, tightening or adding turnbuckles should bring it back into shape. Each garage door usually requires two of these, one on each of two cables crisscrossing the back of the door. An overhead door may warp inward from being left up for long periods. Usually this warp can be corrected by adjusting the nuts on the metal rods or the straps across the top and bottom of the door. It
8 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
is important to replace bent or cracked panels on wooden doors to prevent other panels in the door from warping. Metal garage doors require less maintenance, but you will still need to tighten the screws and grease the track and trolley. Sliding garage doors that drag can be realigned by tightening the bolts on the wheels that run on the overhead track. Also, check that the floor guide is not out of line. Any type of garage door spring repair should be left to a professional. LOCKS – If added home security is a concern, consider these items before installing additional locks to your doors: – Locks should be located so that they cannot be reached by breaking a small windowpane in the door. – Locks that require a key on the inside are potentially dangerous if an emergency occurs. When this type of lock is used, be sure a spare key is always handy to prevent anyone from being trapped inside the house. – Chains or locks will be most secure if the screws and bolt used for attachment go all the way through the door or frame and cannot be removed from the outside. – A metal insulated door may require the services of an expert to install new locks properly. See also “Security Systems”.
DRAINS Each plumbing fixture in your house has a drain trap. This “U” shaped piece of pipe is designed to provide a water barrier that prevents the airborne bacteria and odor of sewer gas from entering the house. Infrequently used fixtures (such as basement showers) should be turned on regularly to replace evaporated water and ensure that the barrier remains intact. Because of their shape, traps are also the source of most clogging problems. BATHTUBS, SINKS AND SHOWERS – When the drainpipe from a tub, sink, or shower becomes clogged, try unclogging it with a plunger first. The rubber cup of the plunger should cover the drain opening, and the water should come well up over the cup edge. Working the plunger up and down rhythmically 10 to 20 times in succession will build up pressure in the pipe and do more good than sporadic plunges. Plug any overflow outlet with a piece of old cloth. When working on a double sink, be sure to close the other drain. If the plunger does not work use a plumber’s snake. You can rent or purchase one at a hardware or plumbing store. Turn the handle of the snake in the same direction when removing it as you did when inserting it. This technique will keep anything attached to the snake from coming loose before it is removed. If the drain can be partly opened with the plunger or snake, boiling water (140°F for plastic pipes) may complete the job. If not, you can open the trap under the fixture. (The access point to a tub or shower trap is usually a small panel in an adjoining closet wall or floor.) Put a bucket or pan under the trap to catch the water. A piece of wire or plumbing snake may help to dislodge the blockage. Most household drain cleaning products are safe to use for minor clogs and slow drains if you carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

TOILETS – A clogged toilet should be treated almost the same way as a clogged drain. The trap is built into the toilet and is therefore less accessible. Instead of a snake, use a coil spring-steel auger, which can be bought or rented from a hardware or plumbing supply store. Insert the auger so that the point goes up into the trap. Turning the handle of the auger will break up the blockage or catch it so that it can be removed. An auger is easier to use if one person holds it while another turns the handle. PREVENTION – Ordinary washing soda (not baking soda) added to a drain on a regular basis will help to keep it clear of the grease from soap and cooking utensils. Run hot water through the drain, turn off the water, add 3 tablespoons of washing soap, and follow it with just enough hot water to wash it down the drain opening. Let stand for 15 minutes and run more hot water. To avoid clogging drains or toilets, never pour grease into them. See also “Plumbing,” “Toilets,” and “Bathtubs, Sinks and Showers”.
DRIVEWAYS, WALKS AND STEPS Various materials are used for driveways, walks and steps. Concrete and asphalt are most common for driveways. Walks and steps are usually concrete, but they may be made of brick or other material. CONCRETE – Your builder has anticipated stresses on concrete driveways, walks, and steps and has provided contraction and expansion joints to minimize cracking. However, cracking is one of the characteristics of concrete, and a method of entirely eliminating cracks has not been discovered yet. Unanticipated cracking sometimes occurs from conditions such as severe frost. Ordinarily, the cracks are of no serious consequence. CRACKS – Minor repairs can be made by following these steps: – Roughen the edges of the crack if they are smooth – Clean out loose material and dirt. – Soak the old concrete thoroughly. The crack should be sopping wet, but water should not be standing in it. – Fill the crack with patching cement slightly higher than the crack to allow for shrinkage. Commercially prepare patching mixtures need only the addition of water, but be sure the mixture you buys is appropriate for concrete. – Cover the patch and keep it damp for several days. The longer the drying time, the stronger the patch will be. – When the cement has partly set, remove excess cement with a wire brush. At this stage the surface of the cement appears sand ASPHALT – Oil, gasoline, or similar substances can cause serious damage if dropped or spilled on a black-topped driveway, walkway, or parking area. Wash the surface immediately with sudsy water and then rinse. Do not rest sharp objects such as outdoor furniture legs and bicycle stands on the asphalt because they can poke holes in it. Never burn leaves or anything else on your driveway or parking area. BRICK – See “Exterior Brick Walls” under “Walls and Ceilings”. WINTER SAFETY – Protect your driveways, walks and steps by removing snow and ice promptly. Take care not to gauge paved or brick surfaces while chipping ice. If you cannot remove a stubborn layer of ice, use cat litter, sand, or fine mulch for traction. They are safe for driveways, walks, steps, and nearby grass or shrubs. Avoid applying salt in any form. Repeated thaw and freezing with salt and chemicals can damage concrete, brick, mortar, and asphalt, and salt will kill grass, shrubs, and trees. Provide an outdoor floor mat to prevent the cat litter or sand from being tracked in the house. Another mat just inside the door will provide additional protection for carpets and floors. 10 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLES The wiring in your new home meets the code requirements and safety standards for the normal use of electrical appliances. Ordinarily, small appliances that require personal attendance for their operation may be plugged into any electrical receptacle without fear of overloading a circuit. However, the use of a large appliance or of many small appliances on the same circuit may cause an overload. If a circuit breaker trips frequently, contact a licensed electrical contractor to learn whether additional wiring is needed. See “Circuit Breakers”. GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS – The receptacles in your kitchen and bathrooms are equipped with ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). These safety devices are commonly installed where small appliances (such as hair dryers) are used near sources of water, which can “ground” a person and put him or her at risk of electrocution if the appliance malfunctions or is dropped into water. GFCIs cut the flow of electricity to be the appliance within a fraction of a second if they detect a change in the flow of current to (and from) the appliance. Test your GFCI receptacles monthly by pressing the “test” button.
FAUCETS Even with normal use, the faucets in your home will require occasional maintenance or repair. AERATORS – Cleaning the aerators will be your most frequent task in maintaining faucets. An aerator adds air to the water as it leaves the faucet and eliminates splashing. It also reduces water usage, thereby saving you money. Aerators are most common on kitchen and bathroom sinks. To clean an aerator, first make sure the drain is covered, then unscrew the aerator from the mouth of the faucet, remove any deposits, remove and rinse the washers and screens, replace them in their original order and put the aerator back on the faucet. The frequency of the need for cleaning will depend on the condition of the water, but generally every three of four months is adequate. LEAKS – All leaks raise your water bill, and a leaking outside faucet can cause a damp basement. Leaking inside or outside faucets generally can be fixed by replacing the washers. Some faucets with single controls for hot and cold water have no washers, but their cartridges, which last longer than washers, must still be changed periodically. Before attempting to repair a faucet, turn off the water at the nearest intake valve. Washers and cartridges are available at most hardware or plumbing supply stores. OUTSIDE FAUCETS – If the temperature falls below freezing in the winter and front-proof fittings are not provided, outside water connections for summer gardening should be turned off and inside and outside pipes drained before cold weather begins. This precaution will prevent the freezing and bursting of the outside pipes and fittings. The control valve is usually inside the house close to where the water supply goes through the exterior wall. Open the outside faucet to drain off any excess water. Remove the garden hose and store it for the duration of the cold weather.
FIREPLACES Fireplaces can provide much elegance and warmth to a home if they are used safely and cleaned frequently. WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACES – Before using your wood-burning fireplace, equip it with andirons (or a
A WAR R AN T Y G U I D E T O YO U R N E W H O M E | 11
grate) and a well-fitting screen, and check to see if it draws properly. To do this, open the damper, light a newspaper on the andirons or grate and see if the smoke is carried up the chimney. Open the damper before lighting any fire. Keep the damper closed when the fireplace is not is use so that warm air will not escape in the winter and cool air will not escape in the summer. Build fires on the andirons or grate – not directly on the fireplace floor. Do not burn trash in the fireplace. Never use kerosene, gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid, or other highly flammable liquids to start a fire, and always be sure the fire is out each night before you retire. Store firewood outside away from the house because it may harbor insects and because wood store outside will burn longer. Hard, preferably seasoned, wood is best. Do not use pine logs in your fireplace, because the accumulation of tar could start an unwanted fire in the chimney. Occasionally throwing a handful of salt on the fire will help prevent the accumulation of soot, and it will also add color to the flames. However, salt should never be used in metal fireplaces. A chimney cleaning professional should periodically check and clean your chimney. GAS FIREPLACES – A gas fireplace provides the comfort and style of a wood-burning unit, but requires far less maintenance. Many gas fireplaces are far more efficient than their wood burning counterparts and as a result, produce less pollution. Gas fireplaces may have a chimney or may vent exhaust gases (mainly water vapor and carbon dioxide) directly outside without a chimney. If your gas fireplace is vented, the flue or vent should be kept open at all times, even when the fireplace is not in use. Use the same safety precautions with a gas fireplace as you would any other gas appliance. Do not smoke while cleaning or lighting the fireplace. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate the home and call the gas company immediately from a neighbor’s house. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance, safety, and use of your gas fireplace.
FLOORS Floors are usually made of either concrete or wood, but they may be covered by a wide variety of materials. CONCRETE FLOORS – Concrete floors are generally maintenance free, but they are susceptible to cracking under some conditions. For repair of such cracks see “Driveways, Walks, and Steps” and “Foundations”. Occasionally basement floors will collect water from condensation of moisture in the air on cold basement walls. For treatment of this conditions, see “Foundations”. A concrete sealer will make an unpainted concrete floor easier to keep clean. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for cleaning after the sealer has been applied. Unpainted concrete floors should not be cleaned with soap. Instead, use a solution of 4 to 6 tablespoons of washing soda to a gallon of hot water. First, wet the floor with clear water. If necessary, use scouring powder with the washing soda solution. A stiff brush will help to loosen dirt. Rinse with clear water. Painted concrete floors can be cleaned with plain water or a mild soap or detergent solution. HARDWOOD FLOORS – The hardwood floors in your new home have been precision manufactured and expertly installed and finished by skilled crafts people. Normal maintenance should include regular vacuuming or dry mopping to remove surface dust and dirt. If your floors have a polyurethane finish you should vacuum them regularly and wipe them occasionally with a damp (not wet) mop or cloth. Do not use water on hardwood floors finished with anything other than polyurethane. Water sometimes causes the grain to rise, and prolonged use may cause cracks from the expansion and shrinkage of the wood. Hardwood floors with other finished probably will need to be waxed periodically. The frequency of cleaning and waxing depends on the amount of traffic they receive. Always use a “spirit” wax, either liquid or paste. The wax can be buffed most easily with an electric polisher, which can usually be rented
12 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
at a hardware store or supermarket. If you use a “self-polishing” liquid wax, be sure it is made for use on hardwood floors. On moderately soiled floors where traffic is not excessive, cleaning and polishing can be done in one operation with clean-and-wax products. To use these, remove black marks with dry steel wool, seep or dry mop to remove loose dirt, and apply the clean-and-wax product according to the manufacturer’s directions. Rinse the applicator in water to remove any soil. If floors become excessively soiled, they can be cleaned with mineral spirits or household cleaners that leave a protective coat of wax as they clean. When apply wax or cleaner, keep it away from baseboards – little traffic occurs there. This practice will minimize the build-up of wax and extend the periods between removals. Attaching furniture rests to the bottom of furniture legs will protect your floors and distribute weight better. RESILIENT FLOORS – Resilient floors include vinyl, linoleum, and asphalt, and rubber. For daily care, remove loose dirt with a broom, dust mop, or vacuum. Wipe up spills immediately, but if a spill or spot dries, remove it with a damp sponge, cloth or mop. It is also important to note that rubber-backed floor mates will often yellow vinyl and linoleum. To prolong the period between cleaning, occasionally wipe resilient floors with a damp mop. When floors are dull or cannot be refurbished by mopping, clean them thoroughly with a household floor cleaner recommended by the floor manufacturer. Use just enough mechanical action with a mop, cloth or floor scrubber to loosen dirt. Remove the cleaning solution, rinse the floor, and let it dry. Some resilient floors are designed to never need waxing, but some of them require a coat of floor polish. Your flooring contractor can tell you what kind of flooring you have. The best polish for most resilient floors is water emulsion wax. Apply either the wax or a floor finish to a clean, dry floor. The finishes provide hard films that do not smear but also do not respond to buffing. Waxy polishes leave softer films with slightly lower gloss that can be buffed to restore a shiny appearance. Apply the polish sparingly – use the least amount that can be applied without streaking. Let it dry about 30 minutes before allowing anyone to walk on it. Some porous floors may require two coats, with a buffing after each. About one or twice a year take of built-up old polish or wax with remover. Dilute is as recommended, apply rinse, let it dry, and apply a new coat of polish. TILE FLOORS – Ceramic tile normally needs only a wipe with a damp cloth or an occasional wet mopping to stay clean and new looking. If necessary, a more thorough cleaning with a detergent or ceramic tile cleaner will remove grime. You can also mop the floor with a solution of 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup baking soda to a gallon of water. To remove particularly heavy accumulations of film from glazed tile, you may need a stiff brush and mild scouring powder. Unglazed tile may be scrubbed or scraped. To clean the joints between tiles, use a fiber brush and a mild cleanser. A special sealer for grout will make it more stain resistant. Staining agents should be mopped up promptly. Even though they rarely affect ceramic tile, they may stain the grout. CORK FLOORS – Use a spirit wax or wax cleaner on cork tile. Minor stains can be sanded out with fine grade sandpaper. Re-wax after sanding the stain. Cork floors may need two coats of wax with a buffing after each. Epoxy-coated cork floors are stain resistant. SLATE FLOORS – Use a sealer on the slate and then clean it with a mild detergent solution. MARBLE FLOORS – See care of marble under “Countertops”.

FOUNDATIONS The weight of your house rests upon the foundation. The foundation consists of the footing – a large mass of concrete poured into a trench – and the foundation walls, which rest on the footing. Foundation walls are usually made of poured concrete, masonry block, or wood framing. If you have a basement, the foundation walls also serve as the basement walls. Foundation walls are subject to a wide variety of stresses and strains. Because the base of the wall is in the ground, it maintains a fairly constant temperature. However, the top portion extends out of the ground and may be subject to extreme seasonal temperature changes. The changes cause concrete and masonry to expand and contract. CRACKS – Combinations of stresses and temperature variations may cause cracks in the basement or foundation walls. These cracks do not affect the strength of the structure and may be easily repaired if desired. To fill medium to large cracks: – Roughen the edge of the crack if it is smooth. For large cracks, undercut the crack to form a V-shaped groove to a depth about equal to the width of the crack at the surface. – Clean out all loose particles of cement, mortar, or concrete with a wire brush or a thin blade. – Wet the crack thoroughly. – Fill the crack with patching cement, allowing a little extra for shrinkage. Be sure the patching mixture is suitable for the job. – Just before the cement hardens, rub it with burlap or similar material to give it a texture similar to that of the wall. Wetting a trowel before going over the patch for the last time will product a smooth surface. – Paint it to match the rest of the wall if necessary. To repair small cracks, fill them with a heavy paste made by mixing dry cement-base paint with a little water. Force the past into the crack with a still bristle brush or putty knife. To match the existing wall finish, use a colored paint to form the paste. In lieu of cement-base paint, you may use a mixture of cement and fine sand (one part cement, two parts sand capable of passing through a 100-mesh screen) mixed with sufficient water to form a heavy paste. – For the fine or hairline cracks, work cement-base paint to the crack with a short, stiff-bristle brush. CONDENSATION – Probably the most disturbing problem in a new home is condensation. It may look as if moisture is seeping through basement walls or slabs, pipes are leaking, or that water is coming through the windows. Condensation takes place wherever warm, moist air inside the house comes in contact with a colder surface, such as a window, basement wall, or an exposed pipe. Actually, a perfectly dry basement can have wet walls because moisture in the air condenses on cold basement walls during the summer months. Close windows during damp, humid weather and open them during clear, dry weather. Condensation is at its maximum in new homes. When your home was new, gallons of water went into the concrete of your basement walls. This water slowly evaporates consequently raising the moisture content above normal. Proper ventilation will bring this normal drying-out process to its conclusion as steadily as possible. However, do not try to speed up the process by creating extremely high temperature during the winter. The house will dry out unevenly, which will exaggerate the effects of normal shrinkage.
14 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
Providing outside vents for equipment such as a clothes dryer may also reduce condensation. Some warm-air furnaces have humidifiers to bring moisture content in the air up to healthy standards during winter months. If excessive humidity develops, turn the humidifier down or off. Most houses are equipped with fans in the kitchen, bath, or utility areas that exhaust moist air and odors to the outside. Use these fans when excessive moisture is being generated, such as when cooking or using the shower. Turn these fans off as soon as possible because they exhaust expensively conditioned air, either war or cool, to the outside. LEAKS – As with all other parts of your house, basement walls are not waterproof themselves. Where conditions have warranted, the builder has damp-proofed the underground portions of the foundation to prevent the entrance of water from surrounding soil. Repair of basement leaks depends upon local conditions that make each case different. Before making expensive structural repairs to correct wet-wall conditions, thoroughly check your drainage system. In many cases, repairing or adjusting downspouts or gutter ill help to carry surface water away from foundation walls. If the ground outside your basement slopes toward the wall, pack and bank up soil so that water will drain away. Avoid planting shrubbery within less than 3 feet of the foundation. Never water your plants toward the foundation. See also “Landscaping”.
FURNACES See “Heating Systems”.
GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS Always keep gutters and downspouts clear of leaves, tree limbs, or anything that could cause overflowing. Be sure that downspouts direct water away from the foundation. Vinyl gutters never need to be painted. Paint is optional for aluminum gutters. Gutters made of most other metals will need a coat of rust-retardant paint whenever the rest of the house is painted (every four to six years).
HEATING SYSTEMS Heating systems, methods, and installations vary widely. The design of the system in your home has been carefully matched to the size of your home and the climate of your region. Learn everything you can about the system installed in your home: how it operates, how it functions at maximum efficiency, and what kind of fuel it uses. If you have any questions after studying the instruction manual for you heating system, your heating contractor can probably provide the answers. Never burn rubbish or anything but the designated fuel in the heating system. THERMOSTATS – The thermostat (usually located on an inside wall) helps to keep your entire house at a comfortable temperature. Individual room temperatures may be further regulated by adjusting the registers in the various rooms, or the dampers in the ducts from the furnace to the registers. If your home is heated by a forced-air system, your thermostat may also contain controls for the cooling system. You can significantly reduce your heating bill by lowering the thermostat during the sleeping hours and when you home will be unoccupied for a prolonged period. Some homes are equipped with set-back
A WAR R AN T Y G U I D E T O YO U R N E W H O M E | 15
thermostats that can be programmed to reduce the setting shortly before bedtime and return it to normal prior to morning or wake-up. If your home has a heat pump for heating and cooling, do not set back the thermostat unless you will be away for a prolonged period. MAINTENANCE – The controls on all types of heating systems occasionally malfunction. Such problems are usually solved by a single adjustment, but unless you are trained to make such adjustments, you should rely on the skills of a professional. Also call on a professional for an annual inspection and cleaning of your heating system. The best time to do this work is late summer or early autumn. FILTERS – Many forced-air systems have air filters, usually found near where the cooled air returns from other rooms. These filters remove dirt and dust from the air. For efficient heating, they should be replaced at least every three months during the heating season. In some areas more frequent changing may be desirable. If you cannot see through the filter held up to a light, it needs to be changed. Usually, replacement involves removing one or two metal screws, pulling out the dirty filter, and inserting a new one bought from a home supply store. Other systems have latches or dual stacked filters. Some systems may have electronic air filtering systems. Read the instruction manual for your system for specific directions. Radiant-type heating systems do not have filters. HUMIDIFIERS – Some heating systems are equipped with a humidifying device. These systems require occasional cleaning to remove accumulated mineral deposits that can interfere with proper function. Some systems have an evaporative pad, which may need to be periodically replaced. The manufacturer’s instruction manual will indicate how often you should do this. PILOT LIGHTS – Some gas furnaces have standing pilot lights for ignition, while most higher efficiency units have pilot-less electronic ignition. If your furnace has a standing pilot light, keep it burned during the summer; the small amount of heat it generates will keep the furnace dry and prevent corrosion. The furnace will be ready for the first cold snap of the autumn. HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEM – With a hot water system, sometimes called a hydronic system, water is heated to about 180°F by an oil or gas-fired boiler distributed through pipes by a small pump called a circulator. The two most common types of hot water heating systems are radiant and radiant-convection. In radiant systems, the hot water pipes may be in the ceiling, walls, or floors, but they most commonly run through baseboard panels on the outside walls of the rooms. The baseboard heats the wall to about 5 feet above the floor, and the wall itself serves as a radiation panel. In radiant-convection heating systems, the hot water runs through fine copper pipes behind baseboard panels with openings in the top and bottom to allow the cold air to enter, pass over a set of fins, and rise when it is warmed. Some manufacturers make the two types of heating panels in matching units so they can be interlocked and used together. ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM – With radiant electric heat, electric heating elements provide the source of radiation. As with hot water pipes, heating elements may be installed in walls, ceilings, and floors but they are generally found in a decorative baseboard panel. REDUCING UTILITY BILLS – Your household’s lifestyle is the most significant variable affecting your utility bills. Identical homes on the same street may have utility bills that vary to 100 percent. By living “smarter” in your new home. You can maximize the benefits from insulation and other energy saving features your builder has installed.
16 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
Common sense activities – such as those that follow – can produce substantial savings: – Closing the windows and doors when the heating/cooling system is working – Not running the dryer, stove, or oven on a hot summer day – Adjusting thermostat settings to 68°F (or lower) in the inter and to 75°F (or higher) in the summer – Opening drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the house during winter days to take advantage of passive heating from the sun’s warmth – Closing the drapes, blinds, or curtains on hot summer days when the sun shines into you home Think about the way you live in your home and look for ways to improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. During winter vacations, do not shut off the heat or you may come home and find a frozen or burst pipe.
HEAT PUMPS Instead of a separate furnace and air conditioner, your home may have a heat pump for winter heating and summer cooling. During the colder months, heat pumps work by drawing on the small amount of heat present in the air (or in the ground in the case of ground-source heat pumps) to heat the home. In the summer, heat pumps reverse this process and cool the air in the house by drawing heat outside. Most heat pump systems use electric heating elements to supply additional heat when outside temperatures are too low to draw sufficient heat to keep the house arm (typically below about 30°F). Keeping the thermostat at a constant setting limits the use of this backup system and will help keep utility bills down. Avoid manually setting back the thermostat unless you plan to keep the house at a lower temperature for a fairly long period of time, such as over a weekend when you will be away. Do not use a programmable set-back with a heat pump. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on changing air filters and other routine maintenance.
HOODS See “Ranges, Ovens and Broilers”.
INDOOR AIR Today’s energy efficient homes are built to provide maximum comfort at minimum utility costs for the home owner. Energy efficient design, however, results in tighter homes with a slower rate of air exchange than older homes. Cigarette smoke, pets, materials used in furniture or carpet, and other factors may affect the quality of the air in your home. Follow manufacturers’ instructions and regularly change the air filter in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (if you have a forced-air system). Replacing air filters and regularly letting in fresh air by opening windows and doors are simple ways to help keep your indoor air healthy. You kitchen and bathrooms may have exhaust fans. Use them to eliminate excessive moisture and odors. Kitchen exhaust fans (and some bathroom fans) usually have filters for grease and dust. Clean or replace exhaust fan filters as necessary.

LANDSCAPING Proper care of the grounds around your home can not only add to its beauty but also protect the structure of the house. GRADING – Drainage swales or other discharge channels were sized and sloped to accommodate water runoff and should be kept clear of debris such as leaves, gravel, and trash. Allow 6 inches of clearance between your grading and the wall siding; otherwise, water may enter the joint between the foundation and the wall material, or the wood may decay. Depressions may form as the soil around the house becomes compacted. Fill any depressions with dirt so that water will not form puddles or cause dampness. LAWN AND PLANTS – Water your new lawn and shrubs often. IN the fall of the first year rake the lawn thoroughly, re-seed it, and add organic fertilizer or manure. Give special attention to bare spots. When watering the lawn, avoid sprinkling painted parts of the house; dong so can reduce the life expectancy of paint. If you plant flower beds near the house, do not disturb the earth next to the foundation. Always dig the bed several feet away. THE LANDSCAPING PLAN – Plan your landscaping according to how you want your grounds look in 10 years. Long-range planning takes more time, but it pays off. Not only does a good landscaping plan increase the beauty and value of your home, it can also result in lower costs to heat and cool your home in the long term. Strategically placed trees and shrubs can shade your home in summer and shield if from chilling winds in the winter. Before you dig a single hole, you need reliable, specific information about trees and shrubs commonly used for landscaping in your area. Later, you can make a list of plants that appeal to you and consult a garden encyclopedia for information about them. Then you can decide what to plant, where to plant it, and how much of a budget you need. As you learn about plants, remember that the landscaping around your house is an extension of the indoor living space. The ground should include defined areas for work and play, often best screened or partitioned by trees, shrubs or other greenery. You will probably want plants of various sizes and shapes that attract the eye both near and far. You will need taller shrubs for privacy, tress for shade, flowering trees for color. Low growing plants under windows, and thicker evergreens for backgrounds. The beauty of having a landscape plan is that you need not feel compelled to carry out the plan all at once. You can work it out a little at a time, as gradually or as rapidly as time and money allow, yet still know where you are going at every step. When you start the actual design, make a sketch of your property to scale. Carefully plot the exact location of the house, walks, walls, trees, and any other landscape features. Indicate doors and windows too because they will influence the location of plants. Sketch in the areas you want to reserve for turn, and precisely locate each shrub and tree that you have chose to plant. Try to figure their space requirements of maturity, particularly If you expect to plant young stock. And take care not to plant anything that will grow up to block a good view or shut out light need at a window. If all this sounds like a lot of work, remember that a thoughtful plan minimizes wasted effort in the long run. You should make a long-range plan, stick with it, and make changes only if they improve the
18 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
overall scheme. The period when everything seems barely a foot high will pass soon enough. Before you know it, your landscaping will be the envy of the neighborhood. It could increase the value of the property.

MOLD AND MILDEW See “Bathtubs, Sinks, and Showers”.
MOLDINGS See “Trimmings and Moldings”.
MOTORS The motors of many heavy-duty appliances such as air-conditioners, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and others may require periodic servicing. Consult your appliance’s manual for information about the care of these motors.
PLUMBING The plumbing in your house was installed by a professional and generally should need only minimum maintenance if you care for it properly. If any problem arises, attend to it promptly to prevent a bigger and often more costly problem. INTAKE VALVES – All members of your household should become familiar with the water intake valves in your plumbing system. Label each one with a shipping or luggage tag. You will rarely need to use them, but in the event of an emergency or if you need to make minor repairs, they will be easy to locate. Intake valves for toilets are usually under the water chamber. Those for sinks are usually under the sink, while the main intake valve is usually near the point at which the water enters the house. LEAKS – Copper pipes should last the lifetime of a house, but if a joint should loosen, it will need to be re-soldered – a job best left to a plumber. Plastic pipe should also last the lifetime of the house, and a loose joint should likewise be repaired by a plumber. If your washing machine, dishwasher, or other water-using appliance appears to leak, first check to see that the drain trap is completely open. Sometimes a partially clogged drain can cause an overflow within the appliance. See also “Drains”.
A WAR R AN T Y G U I D E T O YO U R N E W H O M E | 19
NOISY PIPES – Pipes make noise for a variety of reasons. Among the most common are a worn washer, a loose part in a faucet, or steam in a hot water pipe. The conditions causing noisy pipes should be corrected promptly because sometimes the noise is accompanied by vibration. A strong vibration can cause fittings to loosen and leak. See also “Bathtubs, Sinks, and Showers,” “Drains,” “Faucets,” and “Water Heaters”. FROZEN PIPES – To prevent pipes from freezing, never leave a house unheated during cold weather. During an extended period of severe cold, provide at least a little heat for unused rooms and baths that are generally not heated. In cold climates, be sure all entrances to crawl spaces are closed during cold weather. For summer homes normally unoccupied in the winter, ordinary antifreeze will provide protection for toilets and drain pipes, but it cannot be used in the water distribution pipes. If a pipe should freeze, proper defrosting may prevent damage. The pipe must be thawed slowly to prevent the formation of steam, which could cause it to burst. You should first restore heat to the affected part of the house. A frozen pipe is mot likely to be on an outside wall exposed to winter winds. Open all faucets connected to the lines so that steam can escape if any forms during thawing. Begin the thaw at the frozen point nearest the faucet. A thermometer held against an exposed pipe helps to locate this point. A heat lamp set at least 6 inches from a plasterboard or panel-type wall will thaw the pipes behind it. In some houses the baseboard panel can be removed and the nozzle of a hair dryer inserted with the warm air directed parallel to the pipes. A hair dryer of heat lamp is also suitable for defrosting exposed pipes. Again the air from the hair dryer should be directed parallel to the pipes. As the pipe thaws, move the source of heat toward the frozen area until the job is complete. If a sink trap is frozen, boiling water poured into it may solve the problem. If a large amount of pipe is involved or if an underground pipe is frozen, call a plumber. Plumbers have equipment for thawing pipes electrically.
RANGES, OVENS, AND BROILERS Many ovens and broilers, both built-in and floor models, have self-cleaning cycles or clean themselves continuously. Others must be cleaned in the conventional manner. The outside of your stove, oven, or broiler can be cleaned with a nonabrasive household cleaner or baking soda sprinkled on a damp cloth, or sponge. Or the manufacturer may make a special appliance cleaner that both cleans and protects against stains. If your burner panel or oven front is stainless steel, you may want to use a stainless steel cleaner on it. Never use harsh, abrasive cleaners on the outside of stoves, ovens or broilers. Do not let the oven go too long between cleanings. A lightly soiled oven can be cleaned with a solution of 1/4 cup baking soda to 1 quart of water. Rubbing with a paste of baking soda and water may be necessary for some spots. A heavily soiled oven may require a household oven cleaner. Choose one that is non-corrosive and nontoxic and follow directions and cautions closely. ELECTRIC – Electric stoves usually have a circuit separate from other kitchen appliances. If your range fails to work, check the proper circuitry. See “Circuit Breakers”. GAS – If the burners of your stove, oven, or broiler fail to light, check to see if power is getting to the electric ignition (a clicking sound usually indicates that the unit is functioning). If your stove has a pilot light, make sure that the pilot light is lit. If your electric ignition or pilot light appear to work but the burners still fail to light, they may be clogged and should be cleaned, or the diffusers may not be sitting properly on the burner. If they are removable, the burners can be soaked clean in a solution of washing soda, but do not soak them in an aluminum pan. A wire brush or thin stiff wire may be helpful
20 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
in removing burned food particles from the holes in the gas burners. When using wire, be careful not to push the material farther into the holes. If you suspect that gas is leaking, turn off the main valve (near the meter) and call the gas company immediately. WARNING: Do not light matches, smoke cigarettes, or use your phone or electrical switches if you suspect a gas leak. HOODS – The filters in range hoods need to be cleaned or changed periodically. For location and directions, consult your instruction manual. MICROWAVE OVENS – Follow owner’s instruction booklet for safety and use. Because some containers and utensils can permanently damage microwave ovens, make sure that the ones you use in your oven are safe for microwaving. You can remove some spatters and drips from the oven’s interior with a damp cloth. Greasy spatters require a sudsy cloth and rinse. A cloth dampened in a solution of baking soda is also safe, but never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave oven. Do not use abrasives such as cleaning powders or steel or plastic pads on any part of your microwave oven. They will mar the surface. For exterior cleaning, wipe the case and control panel with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel.
REGISTERS See “Air-Conditioning Systems”.
ROOFS Your roof will give you many years of good service if it is properly maintained. Flashing seals those places where the roof abuts walls, chimneys, dormers, or valleys where two roof slopes meet, If a leak should occur, call a qualified roofer to make the repair. A qualified roofer should inspect the roof at least every three years. If you have to walk on the roof for a any reason, be careful not to damage the surface or the flashing. Be particularly careful when installing a TV or radio antenna – a careless job can cause serious leaks. FREEZE-THAW CYCLES – Winter storms followed by relatively mild temperatures cause freeze-thaw cycles that can create leaks in roofs. Most roof shingles is not a waterproof membrane. Rather, shingles are meant to shed water down their overlapping courses into gutters or off the roof overhang. Erratic weather conditions can cause a buildup of water – either from snow or ice dams formed on the roof or in gutters and downspouts. This water backs up under the shingles or eventually seeps through the shingles, causing leaks. Although roofs with a shallow pitch are more susceptible to this phenomenon than are steeply pitched roofs, no conventional home is completely immune to the problem. Remove ice blockades from gutters and downspouts, and attempt to remove built-up ice and snow from the lower portions of the roof. In areas of the country where freeze-thaw cycles are prevalent, some homes are equipped with heating elements in their gutters and even part of the way up the roof to counteract the freezing process. See also “Gutters”.

SCREENS See “Windows”.
SECURITY SYSTEMS Although security systems are installed to work autonomously, you should regularly check that the alarm and circuits are in working order and inspect sensors one by one. Consult your instruction manual on how to inspect the sensors. Check any primary and backup batteries once a month, and replace them at least once a year.
SHOWERS See “Bathtubs, Sinks, and Showers”.
SKYLIGHTS See “Windows”.
SMOKE DETECTORS If your new home is equipped with smoke detectors, certain basic procedures will ensure that they functions properly in an emergency. Carefully review the manufacturer’s literature to familiarize your self with each unit. Smoke detectors are either battery operated or connected to your home’s electrical system. Most battery-operated detectors will continue to sound until a reset button is pushed. Other types will stop automatically when smoke is cleared from the chamber. Check the manufacturer’s literature to see which type you have so that you may act accordingly if the detector is accidentally triggered. Periodically test the detector to see if it is working properly. Different types of detectors will require different care. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for periodic maintenance. Such maintenance may include replacing the light bulbs, replacing the batteries, vacuuming the nit inside and out, and cleaning it with a cotton swab and alcohol. See also “Carbon Monoxide Detectors” and “Radon Detectors”.

TERMITES Termites are easier to bar from a new house than to exterminate from an old one. You should conduct your own inspection in the spring of each year. Look for possible remains of the winged insects. Search the sides of basement or foundation walls and piers for the earthen tubes that termites build to reach the wood above the foundation. Use the blade of a knife to test wood for soundness. If you suspect the presence of termites, consult a professional exterminator.
TOILETS Never flush down the toilet materials such as hair, grease, garbage, lint, diapers, sanitary products, and rubbish. Such waste stops up the toilet and sanitary sewer lines. The new low-flush toilets use far less water than previous models, and can offer a substantial savings on water bills in the long term. For unclogging a toilet, see “Drains”. CLEANING – A variety of commercial cleaners are made especially for toilets. Use them according to the manufacturer’s directions, but do not mix them or use them with household bleach or any other cleaning product. And never use them in anything but the toilet. LEAKS – Most toilets have a water chamber, flush valve, overflow pipe, float and ball valve. If the water chamber appears to leak, the moisture may only be condensation forming on the outside of the tank and dripping to the floor. See “Condensation” under “Foundations”. If water leaks into the bowl through the overflow pipe, adjust the float so that it will be closer to the bottom of the tank. Flush the toilet, and if it still leaks, the inlet valve washer probably needs to be replaced. If the water trickles into the bowl but is not coming through the overflow pipe, it is coming through the flush ball valve. The connections between the ball valve and the flushing handle may need aligning so that the ball will drop straight down after the handle has been pushed. A worn ball valve or dirt or rust on the ball seat will let water leak into the bowl. If the ball valve or ball seal are dirty or rusty, clean them. If the ball is worn, replace it.
TRIM AND MOLDING Trim and molding, such as baseboard quarter-round, may separate from the floor and leave a small space that will catch dust and dirt. This separation is part of the normal process of settling and shrinking in your home. Loosening the quarter-round or other trim and re-nailing it in its proper position will remedy the problem. If a small separation occurs at corners or at other seams, it can be patched with wood filler; however, sometimes further settling will bring the pieces together. The filler can be stained or painted to match the molding. A thin piece of cardboard or heavy paper slipped under the molding will protect the floor or run while you are painting.

WALLS AND CEILINGS Your house has two types of walls: bearing and nonbearing. Nonbearing walls may usually be altered without fear of structural damage, but alteration of a bearing wall must be done carefully to avoid reducing its bearing capacity. All exterior walls are bearing walls. All ceilings are essentially the same in structure, but they are made of a variety of materials. The structural lumber in your house has been selected in sizes and grades to provide a safety factor well beyond what is required to carry the load. Some shrinkage may occur in these framing members, but your home has been designed so that any settling will be as even as possible. As with other building materials, wood may contract or expand with weather changes. It is not affected by heat or cold, but it may shrink under extreme dryness or sell under extreme humidity. INTERIOR PLASTER AND GYPSUM WALLBOARD – Regardless of whether the interior walls of your house are plaster or gypsum wallboard, they should last for the life of your house without undue maintenance. In some cases, normal shrinking in framing boards causes minor cracks and nail pops to appear in wallboard or plaster walls. Popped nails should not affect the strength of the wall, and no repairs should be attempted until you redecorate the room. At that time, fill the cracks with spackling compound (available from a paint or home supply store) and a spackling knife, smooth it out with fine sandpaper, and then redecorate the entire surface. Except in very unusual conditions, cracks should not reappear. To prevent cracks wider than half an inch, from reopening, apply the spackling compound, then cover the crack with a strip of fiberglass mesh made for this purpose, cover the mesh with thin layers of spackling compound, feather the edges well, and sand smooth. Unusual abrasions may scuff or indent the surface of plaster or gypsum walls. If this occurs, fill the indentation with two or three applications of joint compound use for drywall taping. Smudges or spots on interior stucco finish may be removed by rubbing it with a fine grade sandpaper (size 00). INTERIOR FOUNDATION WALLS – See “Foundations”. INTERIOR PAINT AND WALLPAPER – The interior walls and ceilings of your new home should give you long service if properly cared for. Consult your paint and wallpaper dealer for the correct cleaning compound for painted surfaces and wallpaper. Your dealer can also assist you in choosing from hundreds of possible paint colors and wallpaper patterns when you wish to redecorate or make color changes. If paint starts to blister or peel. There may be an underlying problem. Touch up the spot immediately to prevent it from spreading and look for the cause of the problem, such as moisture penetration through overhead joints or finishes. INTERIOR PANELING – Interior walls may be paneled in wood, cork, and a myriad of synthetic materials, some of which look like wood. Most of these are stain resistant and easy to clean. Wood paneling may require a special wood cleaner, but some wood for interior walls have been treated or coats so that it is as stain resistant and as easy to clean as the synthetics. Care of these varies with the materials, but most of them can be cleaned with a cloth dampened in a mild solution of detergent and water, followed by a clear water rinse. Check with the supplier of your paneling to learn what is best for your specific wall surface.

EXTERIOR BRICK WALLS – Brick walls add a special character to a home. Do not expect each brick to be perfect and spaced perfectly. Small surface ships or cracks and slight variations in size and placement are normal and help to create the texture and beauty of brickwork. The mortar joints in brickwork are subject to weathering over the years. When this occurs, the joints should be pointed up (new mortar inserted) to maintain a weather-resistant exterior. This work should be performed by a bricklayer. Glazed tile or bricks may be cleaned with a soap-and-water solution. Stubborn discolorations usually may be removed by gently scrubbing with a nonabrasive household cleaner or a special tile cleaner. Clay masonry homes may require cleaning by a contractor specializing in this type of work. He or she may use a steam or a steam-and-water jet with a suitable cleaning compound. EFFLORESCENCE – A white powdery substance composed of one or more crystallized soluble salts sometimes develops on masonry walls. It usually can be removed by scrubbing with water and a stiff brush. EXTERIOR WOOD SIDING – If your new home has wood siding, you should not have to worry about wear. Do not over paint the exterior of your home because excessive repainting builds up on unnecessary and troublesome thickness of paint, which may crack and peel. Where paint is thin, cracked, or peeling, the siding should be scraped, sanded, and repainted to prevent moisture penetration and rot. Siding made of coated-plywood or plastic-finished wood may be guaranteed for the life of the house. ALUMINUM. STEEL, VINYL, AND OTHER EXTERIOR SYNTHETIC SIDING – Many synthetic sidings are guaranteed against cracking, chipping, peeling, and termites for 10 years or more. Most of them resist marring and scarring and are nearly maintenance free. Dirt and fingerprints around doors and windows are easily removed with a mild detergent solution. For other areas, occasional hosing may be sufficient.
WATER HEATERS All water heaters (whether gas, electric, or oil) have a control mechanism to govern water temperature. The dial should be set at 120°F or lower. Your household’s individual preferences should determine the hot water temperature. The lower the temperature setting, the less fuel you will use, which could produce considerable savings on your utility bills. Placing an insulation jacket on the water heater will bring additional savings. On gas heaters be sure the air intake is not obstructed. Avoid storing anything near the water heater that might obstruct the flow of air or create a fire hazard. Water heaters normally collect small quantities of scale and dirty water. To remove this material, first shut the water intake valve and turn off the power source for your water heater (gas, electric, etc.) Failure to turn of the power source could cause the heating element to burn out. Then open the valve at the bottom of the heater and completely drain the tank. Open the water intake valve and allow some water to flow through to flush out the remaining sediment. Shut the valve at the bottom of the tank. When the tank is full, follow manufacturer’s instructions for restoring heat. In localities with especially hard water, a water softener will reduce the frequency of cleaning. TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE – Every three or four months you should check the temperature and pressure relief valve on your water heater to be sure the lever works properly. If the thermostat should fail to operate properly, this valve would prevent a dangerous increase in water temperature and pressure. NOISY PIPES – If you hear noises in the pipe when the hot water is turned on, it may mean that air or steam is in the pipes. The steam may result from the water being too hot. Reducing the temperature of the water may help. See also “Plumbing” and “Faucets”.

WATER INTAKE VALVES See “Plumbing”.
WINDOWS Your windows may be framed in a wide variety of materials, including aluminum, steel, wood, solid vinyl, and vinyl-clad wood. Wood frames should be painted whenever the house or trim on the house is painted (every 4 to 6 years). Aluminum, vinyl, and vinyl-clad wood do not need painting. Steel frames should be painted with a rust-inhibiting paint. Aluminum can be left to age to a uniform gray. The oxidation (or graying) will protect it from the elements. If you prefer to maintain the brighter new look, a coat of wax will work well. To restore aluminum that has turned gray, polish it with steel wool. However, prevention is easier than polishing. SKYLIGHTS – A skylight may leak if its seal breaks. When your roof is being inspected for general maintenance, have your seals, caulking, and flashings around skylights inspected for any cracks or interruptions. STORM WINDOWS – If your house has dual-glazed windows (two layers of glass with a sealed air space in between), you may not need storm windows. In extreme climates, storm windows over insulated glass may be cost-effective for energy conservation. If you have storm windows, using them will reduce your heating and cooling bills. When exchanging the glass and the screens in the spring and autumn, be sure to clean them both. Many houses in temperate climates do not need storm windows. CLEANING – If the outside of a window is extremely dirty, use a piece of crumpled newspaper to wash the glass with a solution of equal parts vinegar and water or 3 tablespoons of denatured alcohol per quart of warm water. You may also use a household glass cleaner. Lightly soiled windows will usually respond to a solution of 1 cup vinegar to 1 gallon of water. Apply the cleaning solution with a sponge or lint less cloth, and dry the glass with a chamois or a lint less cloth. A rubber squeegee will speed the dying process. The window frames can be cleaned with a mild detergent solution. For marble sills see care of marble under “Countertops”. MINOR REPAIRS – Wood windows may need new glazing compound occasionally. Remove cracked, loose, or dried-up glazing compound, and clean out dust and dirt with a clean dry brush. Replace any missing glazier’s points (the small pieces of metal that hold the glass in place). Roll some fresh glazing compound between your hands to stretch it out. Fit it against the glass and the wood with your fingers and smooth it with a putty knife. Oil paint can be mixed with the compound to color it, or it can be painted. For a broken window, remove the remaining glass, all old glazing compound, and glazier’s points. WARNING: Wear gloves! For a broken window that is not framed in wood, consult a supplier for advice on replacement. If a window does not slide easily, rubbing the channel with a piece of paraffin or a bar of soap should help. An old candle will do. The same treatment will work for sliding wooden closet doors. For metal doors and window, use a silicone lubricant. Never use oil, because oil will collect dirt and eventually make sliding more difficult.

MISCELLANEOUS HOUSEHOLD TOOLS AND SUPPLIES TOOL KIT – You will need a few basic tools and supplies for everyday use in keeping your home in top shape. A suggested list follows: – Medium-sized adjustable wrench – Standard hand pliers – Needle-nose pliers with wire cutter – Screwdrivers, small, medium, and large with standard and Phillips head – Electric screwdriver – Claw hammer – Rubber mallet – Hand saw – Assorted nails, brads, screws, nuts, bolts, and washers – Level – Plane – Small electric drill – Caulking gun – Putty knife – Tape measure Other tools can be rented or purchased as needed. FIRE EXTINGUISHER – Every homeowner should buy at least one fire extinguisher. Each member of the family should be familiar with its location and operation. Have it checked annually to be sure it functions properly and is fully charged. Be sure you and your family know how to turn off the electricity, gas, and water in the event of an emergency. Keep in mind that fires from combustible solids such as wood, cloth, or paper and electrical and chemical fires are very different. Each type of fire calls for a different type of fire extinguisher. Most home supply centers sell multi-purpose fire extinguishers, which can be used for most types of small fires. FIRST AID KIT – Keep a home first aid kit or first aid materials in a convenient location. Buy and keep with it a booklet on first aid and home safety. DUPLICATE KEYS – Have duplicate keys made and keep them in convenient places so that small children who lock themselves in the bathroom or other rooms can be freed promptly. When you take a vacation, leave a key with a trusted neighbor. If you forget to attend to something before you leave or if an emergency arises, your neighbor might be able to take are of it.

ANNUAL CHECKLIST Depending on where you live, most of the items on this checklist will apply to your home. – Check the condition of glazing compound, caulking, and exterior paint. Replace or paint as needed (spring). – Exchange glass and screens in storm doors and windows (autumn and spring). – Inspect the roof for snow damage; repair it if necessary (spring). – Check for evidence of termites (spring). – Check interior paint and redecorate when necessary. – Seed and feed the lawn (spring and/or autumn); plant annuals (spring); do appropriate pruning of perennials (some in spring, others in summer or autumn); rake and compost leaves; mulch perennials that need winter protection. – Remove hose connections and store hose to avoid freezing (autumn). – Keep driveways, walks, and steps free of ice and snow to avoid damage to them and to prevent hazardous walking and driving conditions. – Have your heating system cleaned and repaired if necessary (when not in use). If your unit has an air filter, replace it at least every 3 months during each heating season. – If you have a separate air-conditioning system, clean and change filters as the manufacturer recommends. – Oil motors of appliances as directed in instruction manuals. – Check cords and plugs of all electrical appliance for wear. If necessary, have them repaired or replaced. – Test your smoke detectors, carbon dioxide detector, and radon detector for proper operation. Be sure to clean the unit (with a vacuum or swab), clean the filter (if any), and replace batteries and light bulbs when necessary. – For security systems, check that the alarm and circuits are in working order; inspect the sensors one by one; and check primary and backup batteries once a month. – Inspect all doors and windows for proper operation and a tight fit, and check the weather stripping on windows and doors. Preventing unwanted outside air from leaking into you home will reduce your energy bills. – Check the attic insulation to be sure the entire ceiling area is covered. Check the eaves to be sure the insulation has not blocked the vents. These vents must remain unobstructed to prevent the buildup of condensation and to allow the proper amount of air to circulate in your attic. Insulation should not be touching the underside of the roof sheathing. – Clean weep holes on all window and door sliders. Dry lubricate all window tracks to aid in ease of operation. – Make a careful safety inspection of your home, inside and out, to seek out problem areas before someone is injured. – Make periodic checks of storage areas, backs of closets, basement corners, etc., to be sure no oil rags, unvented gas cans, painting supplies, or flammable cleaning materials have been forgotten. These items could be a fire hazard and should be discarded. Many local fire departments will provide free home safety inspections.
28 | gr egw e l chcons t r uc t i on. com
– Check stairs, steps, and ladders for broken or hazardous areas that could cause an accident. Check handrails and railings for sturdiness and reliability. – Test all the lights located in infrequently used spaces to be sure they work when they are needed. – Check all connections to your electrical system to correct any possible hazards, Replace fried electrical cords and do not overload extension cords. Make a detailed checklist of all inspections and repairs required in your home. Leave spaces so that you can record the items as complete. An example of such a list is on pages 48-56 of this booklet.

INSPECTED FOR QUALITY
About Earth Advantage
New Home Certification New homes certified as Earth Advantage meet strict green building and energy standards. They have been verified through third-party inspections and performance testing.
An Earth Advantage-certified house incorporates design elements, systems and materials that create superior indoor air quality, use natural resources responsibly, protect land, and lower water usage. Combining these benefits with energy efficiency standards ensures that this home exhibits superior performance and environmental responsibility compared to a traditionally built home.
THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATION Third-party certification offers many benefits to a homeowner. Most important is that a third-party verifier such as Earth Advantage has assisted the builder and verified that systems and materials are properly installed. Third-party testing has confirmed that this home is performing to its highest potential.
The Five Pillars of Certification
Energy
Health
Water
Materials
Land
By using high performance equipment, increased insulation, and air sealing techniques this home’s monthly energy bills can be significantly lower than those of a traditionally built home, saving you money from the day you move in. Other benefits include increased comfort and even heating throughout the home.
Indoor air quality plays a major role in overall health and lifestyle. This home contains earth friendly building materials that off-gas fewer harmful chemicals than traditional materials. It also incorporates a mechanical ventilation system that reduces airborne contaminants, diminishing the chances of allergies, asthma, and other more serious health risks.
This home was built using water-wise technologies that help lower utility bills and reduce the total amount of water needed to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. Water shortages are a primary concern in the 21st century, and this home addresses water conservation needs.
New home construction and upkeep depend heavily on natural resources. The use of locally manufactured products is encouraged because they are environmentally responsible. Durable material choices are also incorporated. This helps the environment by reducing the amount of materials needed to maintain the home.
Practices used during the construction of this home diminish land degradation and deforestation, promote healthy landscapes, reduce waste, and prevent potential erosion associated with lot development during the construction process.

Style Line Windows and Patio Doors by Milgard Look Good From Every Angle.
A L I F E T I M E O F S AT I S FA C T I O N AND PEACE OF MIND. We build our windows and doors to last. With the dedication to quality that we put into building the best windows in the business, it wouldn’t make sense to back them with anything but the best warranty in the business. That’s why we back every properly installed window and door for as long as the homeowner owns their home – including materials and labor. This fully transferrable warranty applies to owner-occupied multi-family dwellings as well. Our Commercial warranty provides similar outstanding coverage for business applications. It’s why you can be sure you won’t find any windows better than Milgard.
2
WHY MILGARD? For over 45 years it’s been our goal to be the best window company in the business. Today it still is. This dedication to quality and service has made Milgard one of the largest window and door manufacturers in the country. A commitment to innovation has made us a leader in vinyl window technology. All Milgard products are designed and thoroughly tested for performance and dependability. For example, we use only premium vinyl compounds that reduce oxidation and fading, unlike vinyls that use substandard UV inhibitors. We’ve also received Builder magazine’s “Best Quality in the Nation” award six times and its national “Most Used Vinyl Window” award four times, as well as both Professional Remodeler magazine’s and Professional Builder magazine’s “Most Preferred Vinyl Window” awards for three years. .
TM
Why Style Line ? • Slimmer frame profile for more contemporary look and maximum view
• Milgard Positive Action Locking system (PAL™) for added security
• Fusion-welded frame and sash (no staples or nails)
• Available in white or tan in many operating styles
• Milgard SunCoat® Low-E insulating glass standard
• Complementary Patio Doors
N AT I O N A L C O V E R A G E . L O C A L S E R V I C E . Rather than having just one or two plants nationwide, we focus our manufacturing and service facilities near our customers. We have over a dozen manufacturing facilities throughout the nation, so we’re typically within a three hour drive of our customers. That’s coverage, and it’s just one of the many ways we’re different. Not only do you get windows that are built near you for shorter lead and delivery times, you have one of the nation’s largest window companies nearby to service your work long after you’ve completed the job.

LX Series Gas Furnaces Every Moment Deserves Coleman Comfort 速
80% & Up to 97% AFUE Models
Comfort for all the times of your life
Get a great feeling Your special moments deserve to be lived in full Coleman® HVAC Comfort. From breakfast time to family time to bed time, a new Coleman® HVAC system makes every day feel great!
A name that stands for reliability
Save money with minimal investment
The Coleman® HVAC nameplate on your product is your best assurance of dependable performance. Our tough manufacturing quality processes make sure that our famous “rugged reliability” comes through for you season after season. And, trust our expert home comfort advisors for installation and support that leave you with a good feeling.
Single-stage models feature a quiet, high-efficiency air circulating fan motor which operates at a fraction of the cost of traditional motors. As an added benefit, these motors can increase the overall efficiency of your complete Coleman® HVAC heating and cooling system, saving you even more money with minimal investment!
Comfort with a conscience These days, energy costs and environmental issues concern everyone. Coleman® LX gas furnaces can reduce energy costs nearly 40% compared to furnaces that are 20 years old. And, with up to a 97% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating on our highefficiency models, they have earned some of the highest ratings in the industry.

Savings you can see Advanced Coleman LX gas furnaces are much more efficient than many older units. Add this benefit to greater reliability and reduced service costs, and an LX furnace purchase can pay for itself quickly. ®

1 AFUE: The federal government has established Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings to allow you to compare the efficiency of furnaces. The higher the AFUE percentage is (e.g. 95%), the more efficient the furnace.
To use the map and chart First, determine the AFUE of your current system. Then, using the map, find your zone. Cross-reference your zone and AFUE in the table to determine your approximate operating cost. The difference between your current costs and the costs of a new, more efficient system equals your estimated annual savings
Example:
$1,596 – $1,091 = $505 (Your estimated annual savings)
That’s a 32% savings! Example is based on the difference between a 65% AFUE unit and a 95% AFUE unit in zone 1.
Greater care for your indoor air
Two-stages for great comfort
Two-stage models are available with a super-quiet, high-efficiency variable-speed ECM fan motor option which circulates air for longer periods at a fraction of the cost. Longer run times mean fewer hot and cold spots and longer periods of air filtering, resulting in cleaner and more comfortable air. Plus, fewer starts and stops make LX Series variable-speed models 24 times less noisy than conventional furnaces.
Two-stage gas furnaces offer an immediate level of performance. Operation varies between first and second stage based on demand.
Easy service adds up to long-term savings
EcoTrak™ customizes your comfort level
*For every 3 dB quieter, sound power is reduced 50%!
The LX series makes service and maintenance easy for dealers, too. So, you not only get economy and efficiency, you’ll get dependable and reliable performance for years to come.
Ideal 72° Thermostat Setting
Temperature Fluctuations
Now you can enjoy custom comfort regardless of whether you live in a dry, temperate or humid climate. That's because Coleman® HVAC two-stage models featuring the optional variable-speed ECM fan motor include EcoTrak™ technology that allows your installer to set an operating cycle that works best in a particular climate.
Warrantied for years of comfort
How comfortable is your wallet?
Every Coleman system is backed with the best limited warranties available:
By matching your Coleman® HVAC system with other Coleman® equipment, you will maximize energy efficiency. Ask your Coleman® Dealer about central air conditioning systems, heat pumps, fans, filters, IAQ equipment and advanced controls to complete your system. Talking to your dealer will keep you informed, save you money and time, and protect your family’s health — all part of Coleman® Comfort.

Standard Warranty 80% AFUE 10 years on parts,* 20 years Model on 80% AFUE model heat exchanger, lifetime on 95.5%–97% AFUE model heat exchanger.
95.5%–97% AFUE Model

FEATURING:
The Atmospheric Vent FVIR Defender Safety System® Models Feature: ■ Bradford White ICON System™—Intelligent gas control with proven millivolt powered technology and built-in piezo igniter. A standard, off the shelf thermopile converts heat energy from the pilot flame into electrical energy to operate the gas valve and microprocessor. No need for external electricity. -- Enhanced Performance—Proprietary algorithms provide enhanced First Hour Delivery ratings and tighter temperature differentials. -- Advanced Temperature Control System—Microprocessor constantly monitors and controls burner operation to maintain consistent and accurate water temperature levels. -- Intelligent Diagnostics—An exclusive green LED light prompts the installer during start-up and provides ten different diagnostic codes to assist in troubleshooting. -- Pilot On Indication—Flashing green LED provides positive indication that pilot is on. -- Separate Immersed Thermowell—High strength advanced polymer composite thermowell provides isolation between electric temperature sensor and surrounding water. No need to drain the tank when removing gas valve. ■ Advanced ScreenLok® Technology Flame Arrestor Design—Flame arrestor is designed to prevent ignition of flammable vapor outside of the water heater. ■ Resettable Thermal Switch—Proven and reliable bimetallic switch prevents burner and pilot operation in case of ongoing flammable vapor burn inside of the combustion chamber or restricted air flow. ■ Maintenance Free—No regular cleaning of air inlet openings or flame arrestor is required under normal conditions. ■ Sight Window—Offers a view into the combustion chamber to observe the operation of the pilot and burner. ■ Factory Installed Hydrojet® Total Performance System—Cold water inlet sediment reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in tank. Increases first hour delivery of hot water while minimizing temperature build up in tank. ■ Vitraglas® Lining—Bradford White tanks are lined with a exclusively engineered enamel formula that provides superior protection from the highly corrosive effects of hot water. This formula (Vitraglas®) is fused to the steel surface by firing at a temperature of over 1600ºF. ■ 1" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Covers the sides and top of tank, reducing the amount of heat loss. This results in less energy consumption, improved operation efficiencies and jacket rigidity. ■ Pedestal Base. ■ Water Connections—3⁄4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings. ■ Factory Installed Heat Traps. ■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod. ■ 3x4 “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter—Allows either 3" or 4" vent connections with inputs of 40,000 BTU/Hr or less. Over 40,000 BTU/Hr. has the 4" “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter. ■ T&P Relief Valve—Included. ■ Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
