4 WAYS TO MAXIMIZE COMFORT AND MINIMIZE YOUR ENERGY BILL THIS WINTER

(BPT) - As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, it’s time to ensure your home is ready to help keep you warm and comfortable all winter long. From preventing frozen pipes to optimizing heating costs, proactive steps can help safeguard your property and well-being.

“A system tune-up at the beginning of the cold weather season can prevent problems and expensive repairs as the temperatures get more extreme later in the winter,” says Jon Ryan, president of Genz-Ryan Plumbing & Heating based in Minnesota and Honeywell Home HVAC customer. “We’ve been servicing homes for over 70 years - my team has seen it all - and we know that being proactive with system maintenance is one of the best things a homeowner can do to keep their systems running smooth and the home comfortable.”

To prepare your home for the cold, consider these tips:

SCHEDULE A PRO TO CHECK THE HVAC SYSTEM

Just like your car, your furnace needs regular maintenance. Contact a professional HVAC technician to inspect and tune up your system to keep it at peak performance. An inspection can check system performance, air filters, and identify indoor air quality opportunities. Professionals also can check the system for harmful cracks, which could potentially lead to carbon monoxide (CO) seeping into the home.

“Have your heating system serviced every year,” suggests Ryan. “As temperatures drop, the use of fuel-burning heaters increases as people try to stay warm, and winter can bring a higher risk of carbon monoxide poisoning - so be sure your professional tests for cracks in the heating unit.”

Also be sure your utility room and home are properly outfitted with CO alarms.

UPGRADE TO A SMART THERMOSTAT

By learning your home’s heating trends and adjusting temperatures accordingly, smart thermostats can ensure your home stays comfortable and can help you optimize your energy consumption. For example, during winter, smart thermostats like the Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat can automatically lower temperatures when you’re away and increase them as you return, creating a cozy atmosphere without wasting energy through Geofencing technology. Thermostats also offer programmable features that let you effortlessly adjust temperatures based on your schedule.

By lowering your thermostat just 7-10 degrees for eight hours a day, you can potentially cut heating costs by 10% annually, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Plus, many utilities offer rewards for enrolling in demand response programs that can reduce energy consumption during peak times.

CHANGE AIR FILTERS

Regularly replacing your air filters is a proven way to help maintain indoor air quality and support a comfortable environment.

Ryan said: “We get a lot of calls about systems not working properly, and in fact the issue was a result of a dirty air filter.”

Clean air filters also help the overall health of your heating system and allow for better air flow, reducing the stress on your home’s HVAC system and promoting energy efficiency. Inspect your filter once a month for signs of dirt or dust buildup.

SEAL GAPS AROUND WINDOWS AND DOORS

Drafty windows and doors can significantly increase your heating costs. To prevent heat loss, inspect the areas around your windows and doors for gaps. Use weatherstripping to seal cracks and gaps and consider applying caulk to larger openings. For extra insulation, install thermal curtains or blinds. By blocking cold air from entering your home, you’ll enjoy a warmer and more energy-efficient living space.

“Just a few easy steps can help make sure your family stays cozy and your home is protected from the havoc winter weather can wreak,” said Ryan.

So, as you look to minimize your home’s energy bill this winter, please feel free to ask for professional recommendations from any of the agents in this magazine. And keep in mind to practice patience and be kind. And as always, we wish you and your families safe and healthy days ahead.

Where do you spend the most time?

With such a large home, we asked which spaces the family especially appreciates.

Nancy: “In the remodeled kitchen! It is honestly a chef’s dream come true and I love to cook.” The fabulous gourmet kitchen is equipped with top tier Wolf appliances including six-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, warming drawer and two dishwashers, oversized built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, pot and pan drawers, walk-in pantry and butler’s pantry leading to the formal dining room.

Plenty of counter space and generous storage serve well whether it’s cooking for family meals, hosting holidays or large catered events. Also included is a handy central vacuum system with dustpan feature.

Ron: “In the huge garage where I tinker with my car collection. There’s also extra storage, including a workshop area with finished flooring. We also enjoy the great room.” This flexible space connects to the outdoor lanai and pool area through the NanaWall system glass folding doors creating a seamless indoor/outdoor living concept.

Open to the kitchen is a huge great room that encompasses a family room, media center with electronically controlled drop-down theater screen, fireplace and a fabulous built-in custom wet bar. Casual meals are taken in the family dining area that sits between the family room and kitchen. For larger gatherings friends and family spread out to the fireside living room and formal dining room.

What makes this home unique for you?

“First, it’s perfect for entertaining. We’ve made so many memorable holiday celebrations here with visiting family. So many things made this property our home,” says Nancy. “The attention to detail and expert craftsmanship makes this a one-of-a-kind home,” adds Ron.

How has this home worked for your lifestyle?

“It worked wonderfully for our visiting family, holiday celebrations and outdoor grill and pool parties,” shares Ron. “And our neighbors are really the best you could hope for.” For accessibility to the lower garage level and wine cellar with wine tasting room, the home has a convenient custom Waupaca Elevator.

Exceptional EQUESTRIAN ESTATE Lexington Hills

WRITTEN BY ANDREA BERNSTEIN RODARTE

The current owners of this Mediterranean villa struck gold when they found this incredible property through their realtor. Located in the Santa Rosa Valley within the gates of the exclusive equestrian community of Lexington Hills, 13045 Ripple Creek Lane met the couple’s wish list with a generous 5.5 acres, open spaces and stunning panoramic views. The client loves gardening, succulents were her specialty, and having plenty of land to expand her collection was a priority. Privacy and nature surround the property with scenic rolling hills, pastures and orchards. The family took great delight in stepping outside to pick fresh vegetables and fruit from the private orchard!

Solid rustic wood doors are a decorative throwback to Spanish-style doors with each featuring a ‘speakeasy’ that provides quirky yet charming style to this home. It’s a fun and functional door that family and friends will love. The double door entry opens to a sprawling interior spanning 3,925 square feet. The two-story foyer with hardwood floors and an elegant wrought iron chandelier leads to a formal living room with impressive stone fireplace mantle/surround and another chandelier to define a card/game table area making it the perfect setting for entertaining and hosting holidays.

What makes this home unique for you?

“The view was the most important feature. The open spaces and the views from every room as well as outdoor spaces for my gardens and views,” she states while he enjoys having “room for my hobbies, outdoor spaces and majestic views.”

How has this home worked for your lifestyle?

The villa boasts five bedrooms and four bathrooms, ample room for the couple, their two children, plus overnight guests, and, continuing the theme, each room offers amazing panoramic vistas.

A spiral stairway leads to the second level where both husband and wife love the wonderful primary suite and bathroom. The romantic retreat comes complete with a gas

fireplace and spa-type en suite with separate vanities, hammered copper basins, a big jetted tub, separate shower, private water closet and large custom walk-in closet.

In addition to family bedrooms and bathrooms, the upper level also has an open bonus space finished with handsome paneling and built-ins. This flex space can serve as a home office, library, homework area or gamer’s den. A utility room with washer and dryer, loads of convenient storage, sink and plentiful counter space to fold laundry is also located on the second floor.

Where does your family spend the most time?

The couple and their children tend to gather in the family room, kitchen and, of course, outdoors. Home chefs will appreciate the kitchen, the natural heart of this home. Equipped with custom rustic-style cabinetry, a Thermador 6-burner stove with double ovens plus a warming drawer, microwave oven and temperaturecontrolled wine cabinet. In addition, there is a large island with an extra thick granite top, built-in chopping block and copper prep sink. Tumbled stone backsplashes are highlighted by a mosaic mural behind the range and pot filler faucet. The kitchen comfortably accommodates multiple cooks and helpers as well as caterers. The spacious bay window family dining area serves for casual meals with views of the outdoor oasis. Saltillo tile flooring flows from the kitchen to a spacious family room with doors leading outside to an al fresco dining area with a covered built-in bar and BBQ area that overlook the spectacular grounds. The indoor-outdoor flow promotes a seamless transition to the beautiful surroundings of nature.

The stunning villa is set on 5.5 acres of breathtaking rolling hills, orchards and gardens with a BBQ, built-in outdoor bar, dining areas, fire pit, reverse infinity pool, and room for lots of outdoor sports and entertaining. Exercise and refresh in the home’s reverse infinity pool and spa with Baja shelf. In addition, there is room for tennis, pickle ball, golf, horses, stables and a barn or two if one so desires.

This is a dream for those wanting to get their hands in the soil! The owner upgraded the landscaping and added numerous custom pathways throughout the property.

Day or night, the couple and their children have enjoyed the charming pergola to read, nap, sip that first cup of morning coffee or after school lemonade, or simply relax and take in the incredible scene nature has presented. The inviting fire pit, babbling stream and meditation pond are ideal for both quiet reflection and unforgettable social gatherings. One can comfortably dine al fresco or lounge on the patio or under the stars.

The family has found this floor plan works well for hosting the holidays as well as memorable birthdays and anniversary celebrations, Super Bowl parties, TV binging and marathon game nights in the

family room. With such a spacious home, there is always room for everyone on their guest list! Because they enjoy a lot of entertaining in the home, the couple especially appreciates the large family room and huge dining room that easily seats twelve.

Ample parking is available for family and guests in the three-car garage and additional circular driveway with room for more cars.

Lexington Hills as well as Santa Rosa Valley are familyfriendly communities with miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. There are many things to do in this small, rural community for outdoor recreation, cultural activities, and quality schools. Close by are several shopping areas, restaurants, entertainment, fitness studios, gyms, and parks offering organized activities, swimming lessons, picnic areas and playgrounds.

This gem has over 300 days of sunshine each year with average temperatures in the low 70’s. Although Los Angeles is an easy commute away as well as airports, the Pacific Ocean and more, the exclusive community of Lexington Hills offers a mixture of rural and suburban lifestyles, perfect for anyone who wants to live a peaceful life surrounded by breathtaking nature, rolling hills and the nearby Santa Ynez Mountains with miles of open space.
