The right supplies can making packing much easier.

Tips for a seamless move (BPT) - Packing up your entire life and moving it somewhere new is an exciting, yet intimidating task. Whether you’re moving across the country or just down the street, you’re bound to experience all the ups and downs of the moving process. Between the packing, moving and eventual unpacking, the process seems never ending. It’s easy to become overwhelmed when you look around your current home and ask yourself, “What am I supposed to do with all of this stuff?” First thing’s first, you need a plan. Don’t wait until the last minute to start cramming your belongings into boxes. Take some time to create a moving strategy before taking action. If you’re planning a move and are struggling on how to get started packing, follow these tips from Apartment Therapy and Staples for a smooth and painless moving process. * Don’t wait to get organized. Don’t make the mistake of procrastinating. Even if you’re not planning to move anytime soon, you can still take small steps to help your future self. If your home feels like chaos, slowly organize each room, one at a time. When it comes time to pack up and go, you’ll be better prepared to take on the challenge. * Purge before packing. View the moving process as a shin-

ing opportunity to clear out the clutter. Don’t move anything you won’t need or want in your new home. The more items you donate or throw away, the less you’ll have to pack and move. Your new home will also feel more like a fresh start after paring down your belongings. For added convenience, some charitable organizations offer a pick-up service for donations. * Color code and pack by room. Using moving boxes and plastic totes, create a system where each box contains items from only one room. You’ll be able to simply drop a box in a room of your new home and not have to move it again until it’s unpacked. Color coding the boxes by room is helpful to anyone helping you move or unloading the moving truck. They’ll know exactly where to drop off each box. * Become a label person. Don’t waste time running around searching for lost documents or important items. When it comes to organization, storage and moving, labels are your best friends. Take an inventory of all the boxes you’ve packed so you’re sure not to lose track of any. Keep a master list of each box and its contents in case anything gets lost. For the safe-keeping of important documents, file them in clear boxes so they’re conveniently stashed away until you need them.

Today’s technology has changed the way we manage our homes.

Plug into a smarter home (BPT) - The days are finally becoming longer and the weather is getting warmer, which means it’s time for spring cleaning, upgrading and refreshing your home. Consider these tips to get your home ready for a fun, smart and cost-efficient year ahead. * Control your thermostat via smartphone apps. The weather is finally cooperating, so you may no longer need to leave the heat on all day. Now, with the touch of a button, it’s possible to control your AC/heat and lighting from a remote location. Save on your energy bills by using Wi-Fi controlled thermostats and switches. Best of all, you won’t come home to a sweltering house! * Sync your home sound systems. Summer is just around the corner, which means outdoor barbecues and parties. With all the options in Bluetooth audio available today, you can eliminate unattractive, bulky speakers. New, smaller and sleek Bluetooth devices are easy to hide, while providing excellent sound. You can also sync up music in every part of your home and control it all via your smartphone. * Add charging stations throughout your home. Invest in turbo phone chargers that significantly speed up charging time - and you’ll be everyone’s new best friend. Additionally, install

USB ports to your electrical outlets. This makes it much easier for everyone to charge smartphones, tablets and other devices without having to plug in to your laptop first. * Power your home with the sun by going solar. When you’ve completed spring cleaning and upgrading, you’ll want to sit back, relax and enjoy your productive achievements without worrying about how to pay for the electricity behind all of these fun new gadgets. Thankfully, home solar is a growing trend that is going mainstream and an extremely easy option for homeowners to adopt. Sunrun, the largest dedicated residential solar company in the U.S., makes going solar simple by designing, installing, financing and maintaining customers’ solar panels. On average, Sunrun customers save 20 percent on their energy bills and spend those savings on other things they love. * Flaunt your new upgrades. Now it’s time for you to show off everything you’ve invested in, so your friends and family can see what a trendsetter you are. Many will leave your house wondering how to wirelessly sync up every screen and gadget in their own homes, while simultaneously saving money. Visit www.sunrun.com to learn more about how solar energy upgrades can help you save money on your electric bill and provide you with cleaner power and a smarter home.

Solar panels can have a minimal impact on your home’s appearance.

See solar power in a new light (BPT) - With sunny summer months right around the corner and energy bills continuing to rise, more and more Americans are making the switch to solar powering their homes. In 2014, the U.S. added more than 186,000 individual residential solar installations, according to GTM Research. As a result, more homeowners are enjoying the cost savings and benefits of the sun year-round. With this rising home trend, make sure you know fact from fiction by rethinking these common myths about what it means to “go solar”: * Myth No. 1: Solar systems must receive constant sunshine to power a home. Many people mistakenly assume that solar systems only operate when the sky is clear and the sun is out. However, ultraviolet (UV) rays that power solar systems can peak through even on the cloudiest days. Whether you live in a cool, cloudy or foggy climate, you can power your home with clean energy while saving money by going solar. * Myth No. 2: Solar panels take away from the “curb appeal” of the home. With more of today’s homeowners choosing to go solar, there are more options than ever to make the panels blend seamlessly with the aesthetics of your home and roofing. Today’s solar power systems can be combined with slate, metal, fiber-cement and asphalt roofing, to ensure a smooth transition to your home. However, with the solar trend on the

rise - why hide the fact that you’re saving money through clean energy? * Myth No. 3: Solar systems require constant upkeep from the homeowner. Contrary to popular belief, many of today’s solar systems require little maintenance and cleaning from the homeowner. People who choose providers like Sunrun, the largest dedicated residential solar company in the U.S., get to reap the benefits without having to lift a finger. The company customizes solar systems to each customers’ specific lifestyle needs, and provides the monitoring and maintenance of the panels so you have peace of mind knowing your panels are being taken care of. * Myth No. 4: Installing and financing a solar system is too expensive. Installing a solar system on your home is more affordable than ever. Through residential solar leasing models offered today, the barriers of going solar are broken down through solar system installations with no upfront costs and as little as $0 down. Homeowners that have gone this route with Sunrun, end up saving 20 percent on their energy bills. Spend those savings on other things you love this summer - or take a road trip to a new destination on your list. Visit www.sunrun.com to learn more about how switching to solar can help you save money on your electric bill and provide you with cleaner power and a smarter home.

Improving outdoor home security (BPT) - Did you know a home break-in occurs every 15 seconds? Considering summertime is peak season for home burglaries, there’s no better time than the present to take a few steps to protect your home and your family. “Securing your home doesn’t necessarily require a costly alarm system,” says Brian Sweet, operations manger at D&D Technologies, an award-winning lock and safety company. “Taking a close look at your outdoor spaces and making simple safety updates will dramatically reduce the chances of your home becoming a criminal target.” These five simple steps can all be completed in one weekend to help keep your property safe and give you peace of mind: 1. Trim landscaping Well-manicured landscaping not only beatifies your yard, it also helps deter thieves. Why? Overgrown trees and shrubs make it easy to stay concealed day or night. Pay special attention to proper trimming around windows, doors and other points of entry into your home or garage. 2. Add gate locks and alarms Add locks to all outdoor gates. For extra security, opt for an alarm lock like the Magna Latch Alert - the world’s first integrated gate latch and electronic alarm system. This gate lock meets pool-safety codes and allows you to see and hear if the lock is triggered, thanks to an at-a-glance lock indicator with flashing LED light and audible unlatch alarm. Whether someone has wandered into your yard or your toddler is trying to get to the pool while your back is turned, you’ll know instantly so everyone can stay safe. The perfect DIY project that can be completed in mere minutes, installation of the Magna Latch Alert requires no special tools,

screws or wiring. It’s an ideal weekend warrior task because you get two projects done at once - installation of a reliable gate latch and alarm. Visit http://ddtechglobal.com to learn more. 3. Verify lighting Take a walk around your home in the evening and check for areas of poor lighting. Fronts of homes often have good lighting, but sides and backyards have excessive dark space. One of the easiest ways to increase evening security is by adding motion lights. When these lights sense movement, they activate and illuminate a space; this is great if you’re fumbling for your keys in the dark and bad for thieves who want to stay hidden. 4. Careful with extra keys It’s common for families to hide a spare key at their home, but too often it’s in an obvious location like under the doormat, above the door frame or by a landscape rock. It takes just seconds for a thief to check these common locations. Instead, leave a set of keys with a trusted neighbor or, at the very least, select a well-hidden location that would be difficult for a stranger to find. 5. Keep valuables out of sight During the summer, the garage door is open, the toys are out and you spend more time in your yard. While enjoying the outdoors is great, beware about showing off too many of your valuable possessions. An open garage door can easily make a new car or box of expensive tools visible to anyone. Leaving expensive recreational toys - from bikes to boats - in your driveway signals clearly that you have money. Have fun but be careful, because you never know who is watching and you may be unknowingly signaling to all who walk or drive past your house that the garage is packed with goodies.
