Pan-Roasted Maple Dijon Chicken with Butternut Squash and Brussels Sprouts
Servings: 4 • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 4 chicken thighs • 4 chicken drumsticks • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter • 16 Brussels sprouts (about 8 ounces), bottom trimmed, outer leaves removed and halved • 2 cups diced (1/2 inch cubes) butternut squash • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock • 2 tablespoons maple syrup • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard In a sauté pan large enough to hold chicken in single layer, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan, skin side down, and sauté about 4-5 minutes per side, or until chicken is browned. Remove chicken from pan and reserve. In same pan, add butter. Allow butter to melt over medium heat. Add sprouts and squash to pan and sauté, tossing occasionally, until outsides are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and hold separately from chicken.
Turn heat to high and add stock, syrup, and mustard. Stir and bring to boil, stirring to scrape up brown bits on bottom of pan. Add chicken back to pan, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook over medium-low heat 20-25 minutes, or until chicken registers 170O F with instant-read thermometer. Add vegetables back to pan, cover, again, and cook another 8-10 minutes until vegetables are tender. Move chicken and vegetables to serving platter, placing vegetables around chicken. Turn heat to high and boil sauce until it is reduced and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

COLOR YOUR KITCHEN While the kitchen is often the busiest room in the house and it is also one of the most important rooms when it comes to renovations. An upgraded, vibrant kitchen that incorporates elements of personal style can make the room more attractive while increasing the home’s overall value.
An easy way to give your kitchen an instant upgrade is by adding color in places to complement the decor of the room. Upgrading elements such as cabinetry, sinks, and appliances are good places to start the facelift process while also adding more functionality. Consider cabinets Not only can new cabinets provide the benefit of more storage space, but they also present an opportunity to incorporate some colorful style into the kitchen. Make your splash with vibrant color on the cabinets themselves, or pair softer hues with muted contrasts to create an eye-pleasing backdrop for bold color appliances and vibrant accents and accessories. If you opt for a more traditional finish such as cherry, black, walnut, white, or maple, you can still add visual interest to your kitchen design by contrasting the upper and lower cabinetry or cre-
ating a standout island in a different tone. Simply updating the hardware with a colorful twist can be an inexpensive alternative for adding color as well. Think about sinks Once overlooked as an option for introducing style in the kitchen, today’s kitchen sinks accommodate a wide range of designs and preferences. Both function and aesthetics – including unexpected, vibrant color – are important when replacing your sink. Sinks now are available in a variety of bold colors and styles. A complete set of matching appliances makes for a modern and inviting appearance. Popular finish options include smudge-proof stainless steel, chrome, black, or white, but if you’re really looking to brighten the room, some lines are available in colors such as red, blue, orange, or green. Although the visual impact is important, remember to keep practical considerations in mind and look for the features – such as sideby-side versus drawer refrigerators, for example – that work best for your space and lifestyle.

NEW, EFFICIENT MOTORS RAISE COMFORT AND LOWER COSTS You may be thinking of changing your heating and cooling system to help save money on your gas bills. But, did you know that Rheem also has furnace models that can save you money (up to $250.00 per year) on electricity? Rheem has a number of products that utilize the highly advanced (and efficient) Integrated Control and Motor (ICM). These motors deliver more airflow on less electricity than standard blower motors. And because of the soft start/stop feature of the ICM motor, each move from cycle to cycle is smooth and quiet – never abrupt. They are highly durable as well because they also feature ball bearings. Whether you’re heating or cooling your home, this motor is far quieter than any conventional motor. Our ICM motors are featured in the Rheem R97, R96, R95T, and R802V furnaces.
8
With a high-efficiency ICM blower motor and a highly efficient filter system, you can enjoy the benefits of running your fan continuously, cleaning the air 24 hours a day. The ICM motor uses only about 80 watts of electricity to do this. Typical fan motors use from 400 to 600 watts of power to do the same work. These motors even save on summer cooling costs by raising the SEER rating (Season Energy Efficiency Rating) of your air conditioner by one full point. So, if you are pricing a new piece of heating or cooling equipment, make sure you call your local RHEEMTEAM Top Contractor, such as Broadview Heating. They will help you get all of the benefits of an ICM equipped-heating and cooling system by Rheem.

For most people, the home is their family's most significant asset. Upgrading is a smart approach to protecting and growing the value of that investment. Home upgrades come in all shapes and sizes, from minor landscaping projects to large-scale security installations. When looking to make an impact, it's smart to opt for high-end upgrades, such as those that boost security or enhance your home’s technology. These upgrades not only lend an upscale feel but also can bring families peace of mind while enhancing the ways that they enjoy their home.
Home security
Whether you're aiming for a stronger sense of personal safety or extra protection for your valuable possessions, today's security systems take home monitoring to a whole new level. Basic keypad alarms have been replaced by a host of features, such as silent alarms that allow authorities to catch a burglar in action, cameras that allow you to monitor the premises from inside the home or while you're away using a connected device, motion detectors that simultaneously trigger exterior and interior lights while activating security cameras, and more. There is no single solution for every home, but a home security expert can talk through your concerns and guide you to the system that best fits your needs.
Home generators
When seasonal weather or other circumstances cause power outages, the impact on a home and family can range from inconvenient to unsafe.
HOME
Installation of home standby generators offers a steadfast solution to extended outages. Unlike portable generators, they’re installed permanently on a concrete pad in your yard and will provide uninterrupted backup for days. That’s because they’re connected directly to your home’s electrical panel and powered by an external fuel supply, such as natural gas, liquid propane, or diesel. Rheem standby generators provide automatic backup power in a power outage, and are permanently installed either to a natural gas line or a liquid propane fuel source.
Wireless automation
You may think of it as just a phone, but the tiny computer you carry every day packs the power to control an ever-growing segment of your home. Using an app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can control everything from your locks and lights to the temperature setting on your thermostat. What's more, you can create settings that integrate multiple functions to deliver the perfect ambiance for whatever you have in mind. Planning on a movie night? Cue the movie setting, with dimmed lights, blinds lowered and the TV powered on. Hosting a party? Count on your custom entertaining setup, with lighting in all your guestfriendly rooms, lively music playing on your wholehome sound system, and a lower temperature to keep things cool as the party heats up. The options are nearly endless when it comes to elevating your home's features. By combining practical functions and indulgent improvements, you can take your homeowner satisfaction to new heights.
Generators installed for as low as $7500 per month, or get 24 months deferred interest. Broadview Heating 440-526-7310

SMART HOME RIGHT AT HOME
HOMES ARE GETTING SMARTER EVERY DAY
With the aid of modern technology, it’s now possible to convert virtually any ordinary house into a smart home filled with features that make daily tasks more convenient. These technologies allow for greener living, customization of your living space to personal tastes, and the peace of mind that you can control key home systems with your smartphone. Converting to a smart home may seem like an intimidating task at first, but if you break the process into manageable steps, you’ll find it’s not so hard to choose and install the best smart devices for your home and lifestyle. You can begin turning your house into a smart home by following these three simple steps.
12
1. Set a budget. All of the technology and gadgetry that comprise today’s smart homes were once viewed as luxuries, reserved for the rich and famous and those whose lives played out on the big screen. What once seemed impractical for the average homeowner is now quite attainable. When you consider that some smart devices, such as light bulbs, have a life span of up to 25 years, in the end you may even save money. How much money you’ll ultimately spend to create your smart home depends on numerous factors, such as the size of your home, the number of systems and appliances you wish to automate, and the level of integration

SMART HOME
STAY MORE COMFORTABLE A Rheem EcoNet thermostat can be controlled by your smartphone. You’ll never have to worry about walking into a house that’s too hot or too cold. Heating, cooling, and water heating can account for more than 65 percent of a home’s energy use. By letting you set schedules for your air and water systems based on your lifestyle and usage needs, EcoNet makes saving more energy possible.
you desire are significant considerations. Assuming that your home is already wired for a high-performance broadband connection, you can get into the smart home game for under $100 with a thermostat that you can manage remotely. On the other hand, adding smart-home technology throughout the whole house will likely cost in the thousands. 2. Brainstorm ideas for each room. Once you’re past the nuts and bolts of practical considerations, it’s time to start imagining. The key to designing the perfect smart home for you is to remember that the very essence of smart devices is their ability to make your life more convenient. Choosing the products and how you connect them is all about you and your lifestyle – there’s more than just one way to build your smart home. Go room to room in your home and think about the activities that occur in each space. Consider which of these can become easier or more enjoyable with the support of smart technology. The living room, where you likely have a host of entertainment and audio equipment, offers plenty of obvious benefits, but also look at the kitchen, for example. Did you forget to start the dishwasher on your
way out the door? Initiating a wash cycle remotely will let you come home to dishes clean and ready for dinner. 3. Prioritize what you install. When it’s time to begin the actual transition to a smart home, it’s a good idea to start with the most important products first. For most homeowners, those are the devices that they use every day. With the all-important lead-in to your home covered, you can turn your attention to devices that help manage your home’s operation and efficiency. Thermostats that auto-adjust to designated climate settings are a popular option for many homeowners because they bring immediate returns in reducing your overall energy usage. Irrigation systems and power management products are also wise investments when it comes to optimizing your home’s use of natural resources. Stepping across the threshold to a smart home may feel like a big step, but once you get settled and experience the convenience and control, you’ll likely find yourself exploring ways to incorporate smart technology every place you can.

MONEY RIGHT AT HOME
SUPER-EFFICIENT FURNACES OFFER QUICK PAYBACK Most new central-heating systems use gas. How efficiently a furnace converts gas into heating energy is reflected in its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating, which is measured as a percentage. The higher the number, the more efficient, which not only saves on your energy bill but also can reduce your carbon footprint.
Living in an area like Cleveland. you can generally recoup the additional expense of a super-efficient furnace in just 3–5 years. The full line of Rheem furnaces is available at Broadview Heating at 440-526-7310.
A gas furnace made in the early 1970s typically has an AFUE of about 65 percent. Today’s new gas furnaces must have an AFUE of at least 78 percent, but 90 percent and even up to 98 percent AFUE systems furnaces are widely available. Furnace prices rise with greater efficiency. A 90 percent AFUE-rated furnace might cost $1,000 more than a similar size unit with an 80 percent AFUE. But when living in a city like Cleveland, with cold winters, you can generally recoup that additional expense in only three to five years. Rheem has introduced a line of 90 percent-plus AFUE gas furnaces. The new furnaces have efficiencies exceeding 98 percent, improved electrical efficiencies, and reduced operating sound by up to 20 percent. “These furnaces are game-changers for the entire industry,” says Terry Stern, Rheem product manager for residential heating products. “We wanted to develop not just a high-performance product, but an industry-leading product that was reliable, durable and easily serviceable. We did just that with this new furnace line.”
