KEEP YOUR HOME

SAFE AND DRY

DURING HURRICANE AND FLASH FLOOD SEASON

June 1 is the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, and it will continue through November 30. Hurricanes aren’t the only water-related danger to your home and property during the summer months. With an increase in thunderstorms, summer also brings an uptick in flash floods.

Hurricane and flood warnings should not be taken lightly. If you live in a coastal area or a region prone to flash foods, be sure to take precautionary steps to keep your home as safe and as dry as possible.

Preparedness Tips:

Landscaping Tips:

y Keep loose items, like patio furniture, relatively secure at all times. You never know when strong winds or a thunderstorm will come through.

y Hurricane force winds turn landscaping materials into missiles that can break windows and doors.

y Keep boards handy in your garage or shed, just in case you need to board up your windows. Alternatively, install storm shutters to protect your windows from breakage. Remember to board up sliding glass doors or storm doors as well. y Make sure exterior doors are hurricane proof and have at least three hinges and a dead bolt lock that are at least one-inch long. y Replace old garage doors and tracks with a door that is approved for both wind pressure and impact protection. y Seal outside wall openings such as vents, outdoor electrical outlets, and locations where cables or pipes go through the wall. Use a high-quality caulk to prevent water penetration. y Keep electronics and electrical cords away from water or areas that can flood.

y Replace gravel or rock landscaping materials with shredded bark or mulch, which is lighter and won’t cause as much harm. y Cut weak branches and remove dead trees that could fall on your house. Keep shrubbery trimmed as well. y If you’re close to a river or stream, consider installing a flood wall or placing sandbags down near your property to keep flood waters from permeating your property.

Finally, keep a battery powered radio, extra batteries, canned goods, and plenty of drinking water on hand as well. Also, remember to heed all warnings: stay way from windows and exterior doors, take shelter in a sturdy building, and establish an assembly point for family members to meet, if separated.

Chillin’ While you’re scaling back your workload for those summertime hours, your AC unit will be working overtime.

Make sure you follow some basic maintenance tips to ensure you’ll be chilling in your living room and not sticking to your leather couch. If you have a Central AC system, brave the heat for a minute. Clear the leaves and debris out of the base of the AC’s condenser. If it has a drain, make sure the drain is clear too.

Clean the blower’s fan blades, tighten any loose mounting bolts, and, if the fan motor has oil ports, put a few drops of oil or spray WD-40 into the ports for lubrication. Finally, mop up any excess water inside the condenser and reassemble it. When it comes to window A/C units, all you need is 20 minutes at the beginning of the summer to keep it running smoothly. Unplug your unit and clean the filter. It’s likely gross and full of gunk from last summer. The filter is located right behind the front grill that blows air into your room. If it’s a paper filter, trash it and put in a new one. If its mesh, clean it with warm, soapy water and let it dry. If the folder is really moldy, soak it in a solution of bleach and water.

Next, clean the evaporator coil and condenser coil with a soft-back vacuum brush. The evaporator coil is behind the filter and the condenser coil is behind the compressor.

Finally, wipe down the outside of the unit and check the window seal for cracks or wear. If there is a gap, hit it with some foam weather stripping to ensure a proper seal.

If you live in a particularly brutal area for summer heat and you tend to keep your window unit blowing all summer long, you’re probably going to have to clean it a few times before fall. It can be a pain, but it’ll keep you from dealing with a broken AC unit in the middle of July. If you’re able to afford it, contact your HVAC company to keep your AC unit well maintained. Or, do some research on getting a central air unit installed. Whatever situation is best for your home situation, make sure you’re chilling this summer, and not melting.

DESIGN IDEAS

for a

SMALL KITCHEN

Whether you’ re living in a sprawling mansion or a studio apartment, the heart of any home is always the kitchen. You can count on family and friends to gather here for meal prep, late-night snacks, social gatherings or any number of memorable discussions. And despite cleaning the whole house, how many times have you had people over only to have them all congregate in the kitchen?

That’s why it’s so important to maximize your kitchen space for both aesthetics and function, a goal that becomes even more challenging when you’ re short on space.

Here are some ideas that will make your smaller kitchen seem a little more like a huge chef’s kitchen.

USE LARGER TILE. The smaller the tile, the more

grout there is to clean, so avoid using small grout tile, especially behind a stove where grease can splatter. Large tiles or stone slab behind the stove works best, since keeping your kitchen sparkling clean is even more critical when it’s small.

DON’ T LEAVE SPACE BETWEEN THE CABINETS AND CEILING.

This will create the illusion of adding height to the room and will also close a space that collects dust. Try cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling or use a fascia instead.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT COUNTER TOPS. Avoid stone

countertops that have been ground to a smooth, matte finish, as this material can stain easily. Same with butcher block countertops. Instead, opt for polished granite, marble or quartz.

STAY AWAY FROM TRENDY MATERIALS. Don’t choose

polished metal or other materials just because they are in style. Stick with things that will always look good, like quartz countertops and white-on-white: white appliances with white cabinets. This will brighten the kitchen and adapt to any colors or style.

STOP CLUTTER IN ITS TRACKS. Small kitchens have

a low tolerance for clutter, so take steps to keep your countertops clear. Find a home for appliances within cabinets, except for those you use daily, such as the toaster or coffee maker.

By incorporating some of these ideas, your kitchen will appear bigger, and you’ll be happy to welcome all your guests into your kitchen—even when they eschew your new couch for a kitchen barstool.

FACTORS THAT PUT YOUR HOME AT RISK OF A BREAK-IN

Did you know that sixteen percent of Americans have experienced a home break-in? From open windows to a lack of alarm, there are a myriad of reasons that could put your home at risk. Below are the top five, in order, according to DIY home phone and security company Ooma.

24%

NEIGHBORHOOD OR SURROUNDINGS

Nearly a quarter of American homes are at risk simply based on their neighborhood or surrounding neighborhoods. Now, just because you might live in an area like this doesn’t mean you have to, or should, up and move. But contacting your local home security company to do an analysis and find the best home security system for you is a great start.

16%

NO ALARM

Failing to install a home security system is the second leading cause of a home invasion, results show. If you can’t afford an alarm system, placing a sign by your door claiming that you’re protected may help sway cautious burglars.

14%

AN UNLOCKED DOOR

While only fourteen percent of Americans who have experienced a burglary say an open door was the cause, nearly 42 percent leave their doors unlocked, which is just begging for a (not so forced) entry. So please, lock your doors.

8%

AN OPEN WINDOW

Windows come second to open doors.

Never leave ground floor windows open when you leave the house, and make sure they are locked when you are away or asleep. Burglars can open them from the outside.

7%

LIVING IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING

Simply living in an apartment building ups your chance of a break in, as housing units see more foot traffic, and can be easier for strangers to enter without suspicion. Look for a building with front entrance security measures, like an ID swipe, fob entry, key code, or doorman.

Minimize your risk for a break-in by making sure you always lock your windows and doors. Installing a double bolt is a great added step as well. But to really insure your and your home’s security and wellbeing, contact a reputable home security company to install a home security system in your home.

SAVE MONEY THROUGH ENERGY-EFFICIENT UPGRADES As much as half of the average homeowner’s monthly utility expenses go toward cooling and heating, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). For many households, that makes energy the largest home-related expense each month, next to a mortgage payment.

Fortunately, numerous technological advances are making it easier than ever to manage home energy use. In fact, the DOE estimates you can save as much as 10 percent a year on energy costs by simply adjusting the temperature up or down when you’re away during the day. Installing a programmable thermostat that never forgets to adjust on a busy morning and kicks back on before you arrive home can help you earn these savings and reduce energy consumption.

HOME AUTOMATION Newer smart, programmable thermostats can be controlled remotely by internet-connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Some models can also monitor your energy usage and system efficiency, providing data to help you make further adjustments to how you operate your HVAC system.

Lighting is another major energy challenge. However, smart light bulbs let you adjust your home’s ambiance (and energy usage) with just a couple of quick taps. Paired with motion sensors that detect movement (or a lack thereof) and adjust lighting accordingly, smart bulbs can help reduce the waste of energy caused by lighting unused rooms.

Similarly, smartphone applications that connect to other appliances, utilities and home features offer the best of personalized comfort and convenience while providing tools to help minimize your home’s energy consumption.

RENEWABLE ENERGY Another option to offset some of your home’s energy and utility costs is generating your own renewable energy through solar or wind power systems. Installation depends on many variables, such as how much energy you use, local codes and standards, and whether the house and surrounding terrain are situated to allow you to capture adequate natural power. For a home under construction, your builder should be able to offer guidance; for an existing home, contacting a local renewable energy organization or state office is a smart first step.

ZONED CLIMATE CONTROL If you’re like most homeowners, there are parts of your house that simply don’t get much use or only get used during certain times of the day. Maintaining the temperature in those uninhabited areas can be costly and wasteful. As an alternative, an option such as zoned climate control allows you to stay comfortable in the rooms you use without spending a fortune on energy bills.

While a zoned system is generally considered a premium home feature, it isn’t unattainable and actually offers long-term savings, due to its energy-efficient operation. The home is divided into zones, designated by floors, rooms or areas - however the homeowner chooses - which eliminate the “all on” feature of traditional air conditioners.

A system like Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating’s Zoned Comfort Solutions offers a true zoning-system with convenient controls and automation, along with whisper-quiet operation. Both ducted and non-ducted units are available depending on the space and occupant needs. Additionally, some models have advanced filtration features to help eliminate allergens, contributing to improved air quality.

For a new build, installing a zoned system from the outset is relatively simple. However, zoned systems are also a possible solution for replacing your home’s HVAC system or rectifying a problem with a single uncomfortable room. Pairing the system with sensors or remote app controls can bring operating costs even lower through computerized automation.

COST CONTROL A state-of-the-art zoned climate control system can be configured to your specific needs, but all the customization options can make it tricky to predict how much your installation might cost.

Taking into account these variables can give you a better sense of how much you’ll be spending.

LABOR This is what you will pay a licensed HVAC contractor to install the system (and remove your old one, if necessary). Contractors’ labor prices vary widely, but expect to spend an amount roughly equal to your equipment cost, depending on your geographic location and the complexity of the installation.

NEW EQUIPMENT Each system includes an outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), controls and parts including the refrigerant line-set, wiring and electrical accessories. Conditioning one room or zone comes at a significantly different price than cooling and heating a home with eight or more zones. Generally, new equipment comes in between $3,000-$15,000, depending on the number of zones and size of the home.

UNIQUE SITUATIONS Some homes, such as older homes, high-performance homes and homes in extreme cold-weather regions, often require auxiliary heat or specialized designs or equipment, all of which can impact the cost of the system. For example, with Mitsubishi Electric’s Zoned Comfort Solutions, 100 percent heating down to a 5° F outdoor temperature can be attained.
