Welcome to the fall 2013 issue of Ruud Home Living, the bi-annual magazine that provides homeowners across the country with recipes, lifestyle articles, home health tips and more. The topics in this issue will help you and your family perfectly transition from summer to fall. On page six, we’ll let you know what you should expect during a pre-season tune-up of your heating system. Also on page six, we explain more about the various pollutants in a home and how you can treat them through indoor air quality (IAQ) systems. Plus, as we move into colder temperatures, homeowners can sometimes find themselves in a position where they’ll either need to repair or replace their heating system. The articles on page seven provide you with helpful factors to consider about when to repair vs. replace your system. This time of year is also great for taking on some other home improvement activities. Carmen De La Paz, designer and former host of “Hammer Heads” on HGTV, gives advice for tackling painting projects around the home on pages 12-13. Finally, what’s fall without football… and tailgating! Joe Cahn, America’s self-proclaimed “Commissioner of Tailgating,” shares some of his most popular game-day recipes with us starting on page eight. Ruud is proud to partner with our contractor customers throughout the United States to deliver Home Living to you. We hope you consider the local Ruud contractor who sent you this magazine for any future heating or cooling needs. From the Ruud family to yours,

Getting the most in
COMFORT
Little things can add up to a lot. By making a few changes to your heating and cooling system, you can increase your comfort and save some money. 30 to 40 percent of your energy can be lost through leaks or temperature fluctuations when uninsulated ducts pass through uncooled or unheated spaces, like garages or attics. Identifying and repairing any leaky spots in your duct work will ensure that your system runs more effectively. Source: Consumer Reports
New = Savings
Rely on Ruud.™
Install a programmable thermostat. When used properly (and depending on the severity of the winters and summers in your area), programmable thermostats can help you achieve a savings of up to $180 on your annual energy bills, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. This DIY project takes just a few minutes and the cost of a new thermostat will pay for itself with lower energy bills. Once you have a programmable thermostat, it’s easy to set it so that your A/C or furnace isn’t running full blast when you’re away from home.
According to Energy Star ®, heating and cooling costs the average homeowner about $1,000 a year; that’s nearly half of a home’s total energy bill. Energy Star goes on to say that by replacing your HVAC equipment with newer, high-efficiency units, you can save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs.
UV Lights Make Families Healthier Installing an ultraviolet (UV) light in your current or new system can help reduce bacteria in the air and the allergens that grow inside your HVAC system. By using UV lamps, particles and germs are destroyed and prevented from being recirculated to the air in your home. For cleaner air, trust an Ultraviolet Treatment System from Ruud.

EPA studies show that even in the smoggiest cities, the air inside most modern homes is usually at least ten times more polluted than the air outside. How can this be? There are many reasons, some of which were discovered only recently. They include invisible assassins like radon and carbon dioxide, as well as gas-emitting chemicals like formaldehyde used in making modern carpeting, drapery, household cleaners, furniture and building materials. There are also common airborne pollutants such as pollen, viruses, dust and dust mites and damp areas where standing water can breed mold, mildew and other microbes. Much of this problem is attributed to the way modern homes are built—for purposes of energy efficiency, and to be as air-tight as possible. The consequence is that stale air,
laced with odors, chemicals, irritants – even miniscule insects – often becomes trapped in modern homes, where it circulates over and over. This can lead to eye irritation, sinus congestion, sneezing, runny nose, stuffiness, colds, flu, headaches, dizziness, outbreaks of allergies and asthma, sore throats, and various other respiratory ailments. So serious and prevalent is this issue that environmentalists have coined a term for it—IAQ or Indoor Air Quality. Today’s homeowners need to become more aware of the importance of IAQ and what they can do about it. Your Ruud contractor can show you solutions from better filters to installing ultraviolet (UV) lights on nearly any central HVAC system.

Money Matters Repairing not Replacing–
When it Makes the Most Sense
Knowing when it’s Time to Replace your HVAC System As the seasons change, it’s important to know where you stand with your heating or cooling system. There’s nothing worse than having an air conditioner stop working on a muggy summer day, or having your furnace putter out on a cold January night. Before you run into any surprise repairs, start by closely evaluating if you may need to replace your system at the start of the season. Thinking it might be time to replace your system? Ask yourself these questions.
4Is your system 10 years old or older? 4Does it require frequent repairs? 4Does it fail to heat or cool certain
4Does it run excessively? 4Or, does it constantly turn on and off? 4And, finally, have your noticed any
If you answered yes to one or more of the questions, you may need to consider replacing your system. Here’s why you’ll want to go forward with a new HVAC purchase:
• You can take advantage of federal tax credits. In 2013, homeowners can receive up to $300 in federal tax credits for the purchase of a high-efficiency air conditioner or electric heat pump, and $150 in tax credits for the purchase of a high-efficiency furnace. Check out www.Ruud.com/TaxCredit for more information.
areas of your home?
• You can reduce your energy bills. A new, ENERGY STAR-qualified furnace is 15 percent more efficient than a conventional furnace, and a new, ENERGY STAR-qualified air conditioner is 30 percent more efficient than one that’s 12 years old or more. Upgrading to more efficient models will lead to immediate savings. • You’ll save time on technician visits. Newer systems have much more advanced features and diagnostics. If a service issue arises in the future, your technician will have better information at his fingertips so that he can diagnose your problem faster.

unusually high utility bills?
When it’s time to start the buying process, contact a reputable contractor—like the one on the cover of this magazine. It is imperative that a technician visit your home to determine a new system that is correctly sized with the right humidity control features included. Taking this important step means you’ll have the best system for your home.
New isn’t always better. If you run into a service issue this fall or winter, it doesn’t mean that you’ll have to replace your system. In a lot of circumstances, it makes the most sense to repair instead—especially if you’re working with a trusted HVAC contractor. Here’s when you’ll want to repair your system: • If it’s under warranty. If the product is under warranty, then there’s no reason not to repair it. You’ll have to pay for the contractor’s labor costs for the visit, but it’s much more affordable than replacing the unit. • If you’ve consistently maintained the system. Do you hire a contractor for a seasonal tuneup? Do you change your air filters regularly? Taking care of your HVAC system means you’ll not only have fewer service calls, but when one does happen, you can be pretty sure that it’s just a one-time fix. • If it’s not an old clunker. If your system is less than 10 years old, then it’s probably not time to replace it just yet. Think about your HVAC system like your car. As you gather more and more miles on your car, you may run into a needed repair. It doesn’t mean you sell your car, right? The same principle applies to your HVAC system. Be sure to alert your contractor to any service issues right away so that he can quickly start solving your concern and get your family back into a comfortable environment.

Devil Dawn’s Honey Jalapeno Wings These delicious, sweet-spicy morsels are the only reason people invite me to tailgates anymore. Serves 10-12 as an appetizer. Ingredients:
30 jalapenos 1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar 6 tbl. water 4-5 cups honey 1 cup white wine vinegar 1 cup orange juice 1 tsp. turmeric 2-3 cups mustard 60 chicken wings or drumettes Before the game: Roast (or boil) jalapenos until tender, then blend with all ingredients except chicken in a blender or food processor. (You may have to do this in batches.) Marinate chicken for at least an hour, the longer the better, in most of the sauce, saving some sauce for brushing during grilling. At the game: Grill until done. Even Better, start the day before, marinate several hours, and then bake right in the marinade for 25 minutes. After refrigerating overnight, the next day at the game you can throw them on the grill for a few minutes, brushing with saved marinade, just to get that great, caramelized finish.

Tips to get the most out of your tailgating Small things done right can make a BIG difference Ziplock bags - Flank steaks need a longer period of marinating, so on Monday, I put them in a Ziplock bag with the dressing or whatever marinate we are using. Let them sit for two days and then freeze them until the night before the game. They thaw but are still very cold for the trip and there’s less danger of meat turning in a cooler. Foil Trick - Line your portable grill with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and disposal of spent charcoal. Freeze Your Water - Get bottled water and freeze it. Place it in your cooler. If it gets hot, you can take it out and as it melts, you will have cold water to drink. Unlike, ice, it won’t “water down” your cooler! The bottles make good ice packs!! Prep Work - Make hamburgers in advance (make sure they are no thicker than 3/4 inch) and freeze between sheets of wax paper. Put on grill still frozen and cook 3 to 4 minutes each side.
Jumbo Drinks - Always bring your own personal “jumbo” beverage glass with me. When you set your beverage down for any reason, having a distinguishable cup makes it is easy to spot and retrieve. That prevents you from grabbing someone else’s cup. Laminated Check List - We have been tailgating for years. We developed our check list over the years and laminated it. On Fri/ Sat as we are packing, simply check off the items with a dry erase marker. When all done, wipe it off and you are ready for the next game! Easy Ups - An Easy-Up canopy provides shade, or protection from the elements. It also gives friends an identifiable rally point. Large Storage Bins - Use large storage bins to organize all of your tailgating gear and keep it that way, so it’s easy in, easy out, all season.

BIG Heating and cooling bills too high? You’re not alone. According to the ENERGY STAR program, homeowners of a typical single home can expect to pay approximately $2,200 for their annual energy bill. Even though there are energy savings with new heating or cooling systems, the up-front price can be daunting. The good news is a number of local utilities and even municipalities are offering homeowners rebate programs to help lower these up-front costs. Here are some helpful ways to find out about rebates and tax credits: • Start by reviewing the Database of State Incentives for Renewable EnergyTM (www.dsireusa.org). This comprehensive website gives an overview of a number of savings opportunities for all 50 states and U.S. territories. • Check with your utility providers. Do you usually throw away those inserts that come with your power or gas bills? Read them first! They often give good information on rebates offered by the utility. Most utilities also have sections for incentives on their websites, so you can go online for more information too. • Look at what the manufacturer has to say. If you’re shopping for a new heating or cooling system, visit the manufacturer’s website. Ruud’s website, for instance, gives helpful information on the Federal Tax Credit as well as its CashBack program. Just a few minutes of online research could help you save big on your next HVAC purchase!

Paint Like a PRO
HGTV star gives tips on color and paint Carmen De La Paz, designer and former host Hammer Heads, offers these tips to help you paint like a pro. The task of home painting projects may seem daunting, but by following a few helpful steps you can give your home a fresh, clean appearance and incorporate some of your favorite new home decor trends. “Whether your painting projects call for sprucing up your indoor space or freshening up outdoor trim, a little advance planning, sweat equity and the right tools can go a long way in ensuring a professional looking result,” said De La Paz.
Start with the Right Tools Whether working on interior or exterior projects, be sure to use the right tools - especially the appropriate tape - to ensure a professional looking result. For indoor projects, make sure you read the label to find a painter’s tape that is appropriate for the surface you are working on to ensure sharp, clean lines. For exterior projects, ScotchBlue has an Exterior Painter’s Tape specifically designed for exterior paint jobs and is resistant to sun, wind and moisture.

Exteriors
Tips for Exquisite Exteriors With its exposure to the elements and various surface types, exterior painting has its list of challenges. Here are a few tips to make outdoor painting a breeze: • Always use the appropriate nap, or thickness of a roller, for the surface you are painting. Some surfaces, like stucco, tend to have a rougher texture, so be sure to use a thick nap roller to help pull paint in and out of crevices. This will save time and frustration. • Remember to pick paint designed for the surface being painted. For example, choose masonry or stucco paint for outdoor projects, or paint that is compatible with wood or metal when painting other exterior surfaces. Remember, outdoor elements will influence how well paint sticks to a surface; some surfaces will even reject the wrong paint. You can avoid this by using the right paint from the start. • Be sure to “back prime” any newly installed woodwork. This means you should prime and seal the whole board before installing it. This will protect the backboard from moisture and prevent bloating and cracking once new woodwork is applied.
Rely on Ruud.™
Ideas for Impressive Interiors When approaching interior projects, use these tips to make them flawless: • When painting big surfaces, such as a wall, use a roller and paint in “X” and “W” patterns for even distribution of paint. This helps you avoid “lap marks” where paint builds up thicker in some areas due to overlapping. • When using a brush, load your brush and start by painting strokes in the middle of the paint area - working your way to the edges. The goal is to lightly whisk the paint on. The brush has more paint on it than you think, so let the brush do the work. • If your painting job is ongoing, don’t wash the brushes. Instead, put them back in their bags and keep in the freezer overnight. Then, pull the brushes out about 15 minutes before you plan to use them again and you’re ready to go. This saves time and water for brushes that are already in great working condition. You’ll be amazed by how beautiful your home can be when you take the time to tackle those painting projects and do it right. Incorporating these tips into your painting routine will get you painting like a pro in no time.

Heat Pumps: a Smart Choice for Southern Homeowners If you live in an area where mild winters are the norm, a heat pump just might be for you. Heat pumps are the most efficient form of electric heating in moderate climates. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost
of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.
heat pumps and air conditioners operate in a very similar way.
Heat pumps are typically used to pull heat out of the air to heat a home, but they can be reversed to cool a home too. In a way, if you know how an air conditioner works, then you already know a lot about how a heat pump works. This is because
The most efficient heat pump options feature two stages of operation. For most two-stage designs, the heat pump will primarily operate on a “low” setting, which can keep the home comfortable while reducing energy consumption.
When it’s necessary, the system will then kick into a “high” setting, but it reserves this for peak weather conditions like hot summer days or cold nights. Talk to your Ruud contractor to learn about which heat pump design will work best for your home.
Ruud launches super-efficient new line of gas furnaces This fall, Ruud is introducing its line of 90%+ 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,” said Terry Stern, Ruud product manager, residential heating products. “We wanted to develop not just a highperformance product, but an industry-leading product that was reliable, durable and easily serviceable. We did just that with this new furnace line.”
which involves the Ruud product development team evaluating every detail of a product from top to bottom, inside and out, and everything in between. The team also gets valuable feedback from customers, and then goes about designing a product that promises features that will facilitate better installations and maintenance while giving homeowners the best performance and user experience. Several units in this supremely efficient furnace line are available now in the U.S., and some of the units qualify for a $150 federal energy efficiency tax credit.

Reaching out to local communities through it’s Heart of Comfort program Earlier this year, Rheem/Ruud launched the Heart of Comfort program, which aligns charitable giving with communities across the North America. By taking this approach, the company’s charitable efforts will have greater scale, scope and impact. The Heart of Comfort program is designed to address community needs and provide opportunities for employees and its local contractors and distributors to team up to support causes that they’re passionate about. The program is also designed to support causes where products (efficient heating, cooling and water heating systems) can be leveraged to make a difference in the lives of others. As part of the Heart of Comfort program, the companies has an opportunity to partner with organizations that will facilitate product donations to individuals and families that need the basic comforts of hot water and a warm or cool home.
Oklahoma tornado victims receive Ruud Heart of Comfort funds In May, a series of tornadoes devastated Oklahoma. Sadly, homes, schools and many other buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. On June 20 and 21, Ruud employees throughout the U.S. participated in the first-ever company wide Jeans Day to support the American Red Cross in its efforts to aid the victims in Oklahoma. Rheem and Ruud raised $3,457.88 through Heart of Comfort for tornado victims. “With our Air Conditioning Division located on the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma, this tragedy really hit home,” said Karen Meyers, corporate director, government relations. “Through the Heart of Comfort program, we were able to unite each location across the U.S. in a Jeans Day fund raiser. We were proud to raise nearly $3,500 for the American Red Cross’s relief efforts in the area.” Time and time again, the American Red Cross is the first on the scene to provide relief, but the organization is also committed to remaining involved, and providing long-term support for the communities until the job is done. Through Heart of Comfort, the companies have become a corporate partner with The American Red Cross, and is proud to be part of the work
