No surprise here - Americans love their pets and are welcoming them into their homes in record numbers. What may come as a surprise, however, is that U.S. overall spending in the pet industry for the past year came in at $66.75 Billion. That’s Billion with a big, fat capital “B”. That number, according to American Pet Products Assoc., includes vet care, food, medications, grooming, yard services, beds, bowls and an unbelievable array of accessories. With all that pampering, what else could little Fluffy possibly need?

Garage Door Safety Tips You probably put little thought into your garage door. You touch a button. The door opens, closes and you go about your day. While the garage door - the largest, heaviest moving object in your home - serves as the primary entry point of the home to many of us, it can also be dangerous if not used and maintained properly. Summer is a great time for all homeowners to review important safety tips. Many of these are highlighted in a new safety video at GarageDoorCare.com, a non-commercial website dedicated to helping homeowners understand how garage doors work. Here are a few tips to help keep your family safe: 1. Always keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. Never touch a garage door or its components while the door is in motion. 2. Remotes and openers aren’t toys; however, the buttons may be very attractive to children. Take precautions to keep them out of little ones’ reach. 3. Children should not be able to reach wallmounted controls. Be sure to install push-button wall controls at least 5 feet off the ground. 4. Children and adults should never stand, run or play under a garage door. When a garage door is moving, be sure to stand at least several yards away. 5. Never try to enter or exit the garage by racing under a moving garage door. 6. When opening or closing the garage door, always keep the door in view until the door is

fully opened or fully closed. Make certain that no adults, children or animals try to enter or exit while the door is moving. 7. Homeowners can - and should - perform simple chores such as semi-annual lubrication of garage door hinges, rollers and springs. Other tasks like spring repair/replacement, track and roller repair/replacement and door installation are best left to trained service professionals to ensure the work is done properly and to avoid potential injuries. Visit GarageDoorCare.com and click on the Find a Qualified Professional tab to locate a qualified professional nearby. The International Door Association, a worldwide association of leading garage door and access professionals, sponsors GarageDoorCare.com. (BPT)

Cool Deck Time Fun In The Summer Sun Getting outside on the deck or porch is an ideal way to relax and escape stifling indoor heat for many Americans. To make sure your outdoor living retreat is a cool oasis, consider these three tips to beat the heat: 1. Create stylish shade While an umbrella or a roll-up sunshade provides a fast and easy way to block direct sun, they can quickly fade or become a dingy eyesore. A stylish alternative is to cast refreshing shade with a gazebo or arbor. With either option, you also can create a lush and fragrant grotto using climbing vines such as roses, clematis, wisteria or honeysuckle. For a weekend do-it-yourself project, look for gazebo and arbor plans on popular social media sites like Pinterest or Houzz. If you prefer to have someone else do the work, many deck builders will complete the project for you without breaking the bank.

2. Spritz yourself with a mister Sunbelt residents and visitors are familiar with outdoor cooling misters installed at popular outdoor cafes, theme parks and other places people gather on hot days. Now, homeowners throughout the U.S. are installing these systems on their decks or porches. The ultrafine droplets of water created by these systems can cool the air as much as 35 degrees. In addition to providing cool and refreshing moisture on hot summer days, some manufacturers report the systems help repel flying insects and clear the air of smoke and pollen. Easy-to-install misters are available online or from your local home improvement store, starting at under $100. 3. Don’t forget the deck surface Many deck surfaces become uncomfortably hot in direct sun. The problem is especially acute for dark-colored deck boards, which absorb heat throughout the day, as well as some dense composite boards that hold heat. As a result, rather than a comfortable stroll to your favorite chair, you might end up hot-footing it across a scorching deck. An overly hot deck is especially problematic for young children and pets, whose feet are more heat sensitive. “Many people tell us they love the beauty and durability of their composite deck, but not the heat,” says Brent Gwatney, vice president of MoistureShield decking. His company has developed a solution they call CoolDeck(R) technology. The boards are engineered to absorb up to 35 percent less heat than other composites in similar colors, for a noticeably lower surface temperature in direct sun. Whether you’re building a new deck or upgrading an existing one, these three ways to beat the heat will provide you with a cool and relaxing outdoor spot to snooze, cook or entertain friends and family, even on the hottest summer days.

Flip Your Fridge And Save Is it time to “Flip Your Fridge”? If your refrigerator is 15 years old or older, replacing it with a new ENERGY STAR®certified model can save you more than $270 over the next five years. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, if all refrigerators 15 years old or older in the United States were replaced with new ENERGY STAR certified models, Americans would save more than $1 billion in annual energy costs. There are an estimated 170 million refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers currently in use in the United States. More than 60 million are over 10 years old, costing consumers $4.4 billion per year in energy. A new refrigerator that has earned the ENERGY STAR uses less energy than two 60-watt lightbulbs and includes energy-saving features that provide performance benefits, such as: • Quieter, high-efficiency compressors that create less heat; • Improved insulation in doors and exterior walls to help food stay cold and muffle noise; • More precise temperature and defrost mechanisms that help the refrigerator operate more efficiently; • Innovative drawer designs and improved temperature controls to keep food fresher, longer. It’s better to replace your old refrigerator rather than hang on to it. Keeping a second refrigerator in your basement or garage could be costing you $110 every year! Make sure to properly recycle your old refrigerator to prevent the release of refrigerants and foams. Certain utilities offer rebates you can apply to the cost of an ENERGY STAR certified refrigerator or toward properly recycling your old refrigerator. 4

Does Your Dog Bite? Dog bites and other dog-related injuries accounted for more than one-third of all homeowners liability claim dollars paid out last year, costing in excess of $600 million, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) and State Farm®. The state with the highest average cost per claim was New York, at a whopping $55,671 per claim. The trend in higher costs per claim is attributable not only to dog bites but also to dogs knocking down children, cyclists, the elderly, etc., which can result in injuries that impact the potential severity of the losses. Even dogs that are normally docile may bite when they are frightened or when defending their puppies, owners or food. According to I.I.I., dog owners are liable for any injuries their pets cause: if the owner knew the dog had a tendency to cause that kind of injury; if a state statute makes the owner liable, whether or not the owner knew the dog had a tendency to cause that kind of injury; or if the injury was caused by unreasonable carelessness on the part of the owner. Homeowners and renters insurance policies typically cover dog bite liability. Most policies provide $100,000 to $300,000 in liability coverage. If the claim exceeds the limit, the dog owner is personally responsible for all damages above that amount, including legal expenses. Once a dog has bitten someone, it poses an increased risk and the insurance company may charge a higher premium or exclude the dog from coverage altogether. Some companies will require dog owners to sign liability waivers for dog bites. Some will cover a pet if the owner takes the dog to classes aimed at modifying its behavior.

A single lawsuit - even if won - can end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The personal liability coverage available through a standard homeowners or automobile policy simply may not be enough, so, advises I.I.I., you may want to consider purchasing a personal excess liability policy. “The family veterinarian should be the first stop for any pet owner with behavioral concerns, said Dr. Melissa Bain, AVMA member and specialist in animal behavior. “They can advise you as to whether there is a medical component for which medication may be an appropriate element of an integrated treatment program; and whether or not a referral to a behavior specialist is warranted.” Ultimately, the responsibility for properly training and controlling a dog rests with the owner. (I.I.I.org)

And Now You Know Your garbage disposal plays an important role in your kitchen but it isn’t a catchall. Many foods can damage a garbage disposal and clog your drains so be especially mindful when preparing food for summer parties and cookouts. Avoid putting artichokes, asparagus, avocado pits, bones, carrots, celery, corn husks, egg shells, grease, lettuce, onion skins, and potato peels in your disposal. In addition, pasta, rice, and other foods that expand with water can quickly clog a home’s pipes. Don’t use hot water when grinding food waste, advise the experts. Instead, turn the water on to drain the disposal in between grinding periods. And here’s one for you die-hard coffee lovers. Coffee grounds should never be put into your disposal. While they appear to process, they actually tend to pile up and cause a sediment-like mess in your drain. That home warranty you’re depending on may or not cover the repairs on your garbage disposal so your best bet is to treat it with care. And now you know.

Burglaries Peak In Summer: Is Your Home Secure?

Long days and moonlit nights may be causing you to daydream about travel. Whether you’re planning a day trip or a month-long extravaganza, summer is full of opportunity for you. But what about your empty house while you’re away?

Unfortunately summer months are also peak periods for home burglaries. Seasonal patterns exist in household burglary rates, according the U.S. Department of Justice, with these crimes happening more frequently in the summer than during other seasons of the year because people are traveling more and are away from their homes.

ability to have emergency responders dispatched to their homes in the event of a security, smoke, carbon monoxide or panic alarm, with no long-term contract required. Whether you’re at work or across the country, you can rest easy knowing someone will respond quickly to any home emergency.

Step 3: Rid your property of hiding spots and easy points of entry Homes with lots of overgrowth and natural coverage provide hiding spots that make break-ins simpler. That means now is the time to trim bushes, hedges and trees, especially around entrance points in the home.

Planning your next weekend at the cabin doesn’t have to involve worry about a break-in back home. Give yourself peace of mind no matter where you are by taking a few proactive steps to protect your home today.

Step 2: Avoid signs that show your home is vacant An empty home is an easy target for break-ins. It can be pretty obvious when homeowners are away, especially if they’ve been gone for a while. But with a mix of simple steps and effective technology, you can give your house a “lived-in” feel, even when you’re miles away.

Next, look for vulnerable areas of your house. For example, the garage door may be easier to open than you think. Consider using a C-clamp on garage doors while gone or integrating a smart garage controller so you can keep tabs on whether it’s opened or closed from your smartphone.

Step 1: A smart home is a secure home Law enforcement agencies agree that one of the best ways to protect a home is with a security system. Something as simple as a sign noting an alarm system is onsite can be enough to deter a potential theft. Closing and locking all doors (including dead bolts) and then setting an alarm dramatically decreases burglary odds. Smart home technology is creating greater innovation in home security, with systems like Iris by Lowe’s allowing homeowners to create a do-it-yourself, tailored system that’s not only convenient but effective security. This affordable system features more than 100 compatible devices that include security cameras, motion sensors, smart locks, adjustable light bulbs, connected thermostats, smoke alarms and more. For an even more secure home, Iris now offers professional home monitoring for less than $15 a month. The service gives homeowners the 20

LifeandHomes ■ Capital Region

Stop your mail and newspaper delivery when traveling, or ask a neighbor to gather these items for you so they don’t accumulate on your property. Have someone come and tidy your yard and water plants so everything appears tended to. Use your Iris smart home system to set lights to turn on and off throughout the day. You may even ask a neighbor to periodically park in your driveway to give the impression people are coming and going. Keep in mind social media has become a rich resource for criminals. Keep profile settings to private and never post photos or other messages on social media about your vacation while still away. Travel posts are like news alerts that your home is empty. It’s best to wait until you return before sharing those precious images with friends and family.

Windows are another common way for burglars to enter a home. Hot summer months often mean cracked windows, so double check all are closed and locked. With a smart home system like Iris, you can even check on this remotely and get notified if a window is opened or broken. If you have a window air conditioning unit, you may want to install window frame locks to prevent a criminal from pushing out the unit and entering the home. Summer should be a time of relaxation instead of worry. These steps can help you be smart about securing your home so you can actually enjoy that vacation.
