ADVENTURE & OUTDOOR RECREATION

Welcome to The Lovely Rogue Valley! You’ve Just Entered Kayaking Nirvana! Picture yourself floating…silently, peacefully, beautifully at one with nature. The only sounds that reach you are the songs of the mountain birds, or the migrating geese flying overhead. Picture yourself sitting comfortably in a kayak or a canoe in the middle of just one of the many incredibly serene and panoramic lakes that are nestled all around us in the Cascade Mountains. No city noise to bother you, no cell phones vibrating for your attention, just sweet, peaceful silence. Then picture yourself rhythmically dipping your paddle into the water as you and your craft are smoothly gliding over the mirrorlike surface of the lake as you explore all of the shoreline, seeing pelicans, ducks, geese and other birds nestled together in groups taking in the day just as you are doing. You look up and see hawks, and even eagles soaring above and you know that this is an incredibly rare and precious day. What I am describing is something that my wife and I discovered was freely available pretty much any day we wanted after moving to the Rogue Valley almost 8 years ago. After relocating here from a more desert like location, we found ourselves going on weekend drives in all directions, exploring all of the natural wonders that were 6

within an hour or two drive. Our cameras were always at the ready snapping photos of all the naturally beautiful scenery that surrounded us. One of the most noticeable things that we discovered was that there were so many small mountain lakes nestled in the Cascades and we wondered what it would be like to be able to actually get on the water and explore further away from the roads that had brought us there. And that is just what we did. First, we sought out the advice of one of the local experts, Scott Keith who is one of the owners of the Northwest Outdoor Store. He was very knowledgeable about paddle related sports which includes kayaking, rafting, canoeing and also the newly popular stand up paddle boards. Scott was able to explain to us all the different types of kayaks and how one is good for lakes and another better for rivers. Some you sit within and others, you sit on top. The length of the boat is also an important factor in terms of glide or maneuverability. We asked a lot of questions about our new adventure into kayaking before making our purchase and Scott very patiently answered them all. He invited us to meet both he and his staff at Emigrant Lake where they had kayak demo days, so that we could actually get in the differ-

WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 3 Issue 2 | Rogue Valley, Oregon

ent models and lengths of boats and give them a try. This was very helpful because it quickly became evident which type of kayak suited our needs. This began a period of adventure and exploration that I didn’t even know existed as we were now well equipped to make full use of our days in the surrounding mountains. In this writer’s opinion, there are few better ways to immerse yourself into our natural surroundings than sitting in or on a kayak. We like to pack a nice lunch, a blanket, a camera, binoculars and whatever suits our fancy and then off we go. We have found that it doesn’t really matter which direction we choose to head off into, there is always a great kayaking destination waiting for us. My recommendation is that if you are interested in a low cost excellent form of exercise plus a truly Zen like experience, head over and talk with one of the staff at the Northwest Outdoor Store. Take a look at the great variety of paddle craft that they carry. They have the best selection between Sacramento and Portland and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful to each and every person who enters their store. You’ll be glad that you did! -LMA

AIR CONDITIONING - HEATING -WEATHERIZATION

Save $$$ By Having Your Home Energy Tested! 94 Years of Service! McMurray & Sons has been providing quality materials and workmanship to the housing industry for over 94 years. David W. McMurray carries on the family tradition as President and owner of the corporation. Having grown up in the business, with a father/boss that understood the value of hard work and quality workmanship, the company retains those same values today. Initially focused on residential roofing, McMurray & Sons began installing commercial/industrial roofing in the early 60’s. In 2012, McMurray & Sons, Inc. acquired Gills Indoor Air Quality and once again expanded their services. Today, in addition to roofing, they also offer insulation, weatherization, heating, ventilation and air conditioning services to the Rogue River Valley. McMurray & Sons offers free home energy evaluations. These evaluations identify: * Increased energy consumption due to air leakage * Moisture/condensation problems * Solutions to uncomfortable drafts caused by cold air leaking in from the outdoors * Contamination of home air quality from indoor air pollution The Blower Door Test This test identifies air leakage in doorways. A “blower door” is fitted into one of your doorways & turned on to negatively pressurize your home. The “blower door” measures the leakage around your doors, windows, vents & air ducts (measured in cubic feet of air leakage per minute or CFM50). 8

Once the trouble spots are identified, the leaks are repaired, leaving you with a more cost efficient home. Through McMurray’s partnership with Energy Trust of Oregon, they can provide cash incentives that help for the cost of your Blower Door Test.

incentives that can help cover the costs of these services. Sealing ductwork If your ductwork needs sealing, we seal the leaks and conduct a second duct leakage test to determine the reduction. Electric-heated mobile homes: Energy Trust of Oregon will cover the entire cost! Framed homes: Some incentives are available. Air sealing Sealing the shell of your home — walls, doors, ceiling, windows and floors from air leaks is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to increase comfort and energy efficiency. Sealing air leaks reduces drafts, controls moisture, keeps out pollutants and improves overall comfort. Many air leaks and drafts are easy to find because they are easy to feel, like those around doors and windows.

Certified technicians will also conduct a duct leakage test to determine the amount of air leaking from your ductwork. After the duct leakage test Once your home has been tested, it’s time for McMurray & Sons to fix the energy leaks and increase the energy efficiency of your home. They will help identify tax rebates & energy

Insulation Properly insulating your floors, walls and attic keeps you comfortable throughout the year, reduces your heating and cooling costs, reduces outside noise, and saves you energy. Before beginning an insulation project, have McMurray & Sons perform an air leakage test and seal any air leaks in your home to maximize the performance of your insulation.

The Rogue Valley is a wonderful place to live. Sadly enough though, crime runs through every community and you need to be prepared. Every recession since the late 1950s has been associated with an increase in crime, particulary, property crime and robbery. Statistically, there is a strong relationship between crime, falling wages and higher unemployment rates. Now more than ever, it’s time to use your alarm system every time you leave your home or business. If you don’t have an alarm system, now is the time to protect yourself. With the new security technology that is available, it has never been more affordable to protect the ones you care about. Keep in mind, burglars purposely avoid homes which are set up with security systems. Find out how easy it is to protect your home or business by calling SOS Alarm at 541-773-3900.

BLINDS & WINDOW TREATMENTS

Draperies ‘N’ Things - Hunter Douglas Gallery As you walk though the doors at Draperies and Things you immediately enter a professionally decorated showroom. To be more precise, what you are experiencing is a Hunter Douglas Gallery, just one of six showrooms located in Oregon. The selection of window coverings, styles and colors can be overwhelming to many of us, at least until you talk with owners, Craig & Merry Reeves. Established in 1981, Draperies and Things is a full service Hunter Douglas Design and Service Center. The choice to partner with Hunter Douglas was an easy one for Craig and Merry. Not only is Hunter Douglas the oldest manufacture of window coverings (founded in 1919, Window Coverings since 1947), they also have a selection and a limited lifetime warranty which can not be matched. They even have a program called the “Right Choice Promise”. This is where you have 21 days to experience their products in your home or business, and, if for any reason you are unhappy, they will replace them and start over! For those of us who are not sure what will look best, free design consulting is available to all their customers. You will not feel pressured or uncomfortable working with Craig and Merry. “We work on our clients time frame,” says Craig. “We come to their home or office, consider what they want to ac-

complish, find out what their likes and dislikes are when it comes to design. We then make recommendations and give them plenty of time to consider which way to go. As an authorized Hunter Douglas Gallery, Craig and Merry can repair any damaged Hunter Douglas blinds

or other name brands regardless of how old they are or where they were originally purchased. They also provide maintenance for your blinds which can include removal, cleaning, adjusting and reinstallation. Blinds and window coverings play many important roles in a living or office setting. First, they can provide beauty, continuity and style. Secondly, but just as important, is the control of the environment and how it interacts with the outside weather. Almost 50% of a home’s energy is lost through its

14 WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 3 Issue 2 | Rogue Valley, Oregon

windows. Hunter Douglas’ innovative, energy-efficient window covering products can significantly reduce this energy loss, save on heating and cooling costs and contribute to protecting the environment. And when it comes to privacy, you choose from styles which can completely block out light to other styles which can diminish harmful sun rays while still being able to see through them. On the safety side of things, do you still have smaller children in your home or do they visit? With Hunter Douglas, you don’t need to worry. From cordless manual and motorized operating systems, retractable lift cords, cord tensioners and wand controls, they offer a wide array of innovative lifting system options for enhanced child and pet safety as well as especially easy operation. Craig and Merry Reeves have spent the last 31 years serving Jackson County area residents. Their work can be seen in thousands of homes and offices not just in our immediate area, but throughout the entire Northwest. Before you make up your mind where to purchase your next window coverings, you owe it to yourself to see just what your options are. Draperies and Things offer a full variety of products which can match many different budgets. Draperies N Things is conveniently located right off the I-5 Freeway Exit 24 in Phoenix.

We strive to lead the industry in customer service and ultimate satisfaction. We grew up in the Rogue Valley. We are your friends, your neighbors, your customers.

Completely Floored opened February of 2007 and took off like its hair was on fire. The first month we exceeded our expected earnings by 40%. The orders were coming in before we were even done remodeling the showroom. Things were looking good. Little did

we know that we had started a business at the beginning of the biggest recession since the Great Depression. The first year went well, all considering. We had our share of struggles but were satisfied with our progress.

The second year brought the sting of our countries economic problems. We made adjustments accordingly and continued to maintain status quo. Two of our partners are masters of the budget so it came to be SOP to require a company Powwow to buy a box of pencils. Sounds ridiculous but it seems to be working.

We stretched our marketing imaginations, flexed our cold call dialing fingers and prepared to attend any event to advertise ourselves that fit into our meager advertising budget. As the daily headlines offered nothing but financial gloom and doom, we were forced to take things a step further by sacrificing a sales person/ owner, Bob Wood, to installations, thereby reducing labor costs. Bob has over 20 years experience installing so it was the logical choice. Even though his body did not appreciate it, it was a very sound business decision and allowed our company to connect with customers on an additional level. Having the owner of the company on his hands and knees in their home seems to please some people. Thankfully, Bob is back in the showroom doing much better now that he is pleasing customers in the upright position. The economy, at least locally, seems to have turned a corner in the right direction. Things are looking up and we are all very satisfied that our hard work, dedication and sacrifice paid off. We know we owe our success to those referral and repeat customers who keep touting our value. We salute you!

FURNITURE - RETAIL

Locally owned and operated, La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries opened in September 2007 along I-5 just off the Phoenix exit. After having introduced their franchise to Bend, Oregon, Allen Pfeifer and family decided to bring their brand to the beautiful Rogue Valley. The Pfeifers originally chose the La-Z-Boy line because of this company’s long history and fine tradition of building high quality, long-lasting recliners & furniture.

Born in the USA In 1927, two young cousins from Monroe, Michigan – Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoe-

maker – created a wood-slat chair with a reclining back that allowed hardworking families to relax after a long day – and the world’s first recliner was born! The La-Z-Boy recliner was a big hit in Monroe and soon, the nation. Steadily over the last 85 years, La-Z-Boy has expanded beyond recliners and now has comfortable furniture in all shapes and sizes. With factories and employees across the nation and world, this homegrown family business has come a long way from its humble roots in a Michigan cornfield.

In-Home Design Assistance Dream it., Create it, Love it. Free design assistance in your home or in-store. If you ask us, picking out new furniture should be fun. And, when you work with us, it is. We make the process as easy as possible by helping you envision what your furniture and your entire room will look like.

Committed to America! Today, La-Z-Boy is hard at work building an all-American invention right here on American soil. With the headquarters still based in Monroe, Mich., five U.S. manufacturing plants, four distribution centers and nearly 350 furniture galleries, La-Z-Boy and it’s franchise owners employ more than 5,000 people nationwide in the pursuit of comfortable, long lasting furniture. Every day, they proudly produce recliners, sofas, chairs and more by hardworking, dedicated employees. These fine people are driven by the same determination and commitment to quality and comfort that set them on the road to success 85 years ago.

Visit us today to create a single sofa or an entire room. We’ll help you bring it all together. Quickly & easily bring your dream rooms to life in absolutely amazing 3-D visual reality.

With Your Eyes at Risk, Insisting on Good Quality Is Vital with Corrective Eyewear There are times when cutting corners to save a few dollars makes sense, and there are times when it is imperative that you get the most out of your money possible. This is particularly true when it comes to your health and products related to your well-being, such as eyeglasses and prescription eyeglasses. There are many options for eyeglasses and choosing a quality source for those eyeglasses is extremely important. After all, you must put your eye health at the top of all your eye-related decisions. BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU SAVE YOUR DOLLARS Saving a few dollars on your eyeglasses or prescription sunglasses might seem like a good idea at the moment, but it is in your best interest to choose a quality and trusted source for all your eyewear. Ultimately, saving a few dollars isn’t worth the peace of mind you get when you buy quality glasses. PROTECT YOUR VISION WITH QUALITY EYEWEAR The market is literally flooded with cheap eyeglasses of all sorts, including men’s glasses, women’s glasses, and

children’s glasses. There are even ample examples of “knock off” glasses that are pretending to be designer glasses and sunglasses that are, of course, fakes. This point highlights why it is so very important that you only buy from trusted eyeglasses retailers. Making the decision to intentionally purchase low-quality eyewear of any kind is, simply put, a very bad idea and one you should outright avoid. Inferior prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses come with a myriad of serious potential problems and issues. If you receive the wrong prescription, you could damage your vision or not obtain optimal results. Likewise, prescription sunglasses that have the wrong prescription or that fail to protect against UV rays can damage your vision. In fact, UV rays can cause macular degeneration, cataracts, and damage to the retina. This is why it is very important to only purchase high-quality eyewear. It isn’t necessarily important to buy expensive glasses. However, the prescription sunglasses you choose should have 99% to 100% UVA and UVB protection.

CHEAP READING GLASSES Cheap reading glasses made headlines lately, as new research showed that they could potentially harm your eyes. In particular, glasses called “ready readers” have been shown to cause headaches, eye strain, and double vision. In particular, they can be most damaging to people with higher prescriptions. It is important that you check in with your optometrist before just purchasing the cheapest reading glasses possible. DURABILITY = DURABILITY, Like so many products, the “savings” to be had from purchasing lowcost eyewear may in fact turn out to be largely an illusion. Being forced to replace eyeglasses or prescription sunglasses that you purchased months earlier with a new pair will cost you not just money, but valuable time and aggravation as well. In short, when you are looking for eyewear, quality is key and should definitely influence your purchasing decision. Lassman’s Fine Eyewear stocks only the highest quality products with very affordable prices. Come visit us!

JEWELERY- RETAIL

Gold & Gems Fine Jewelry - Your Pandora Expert ®

Are you new to the area? One of the most frustrating things to overcome in a new environment is realizing you are temporarily out of your comfort zone. You need to establish new relationships with everyone from your Dentist to where you do your grocery shopping. When it comes to purchasing fine jewelry, most of us would obtain a referral from a friend or relative. This “word of mouth” referral base is how we built Gold & Gems over the past three decades. Just recently, we expanded from our Ashland store to a second location in Medford. The greeting we received in Medford has been wonderful. This is a family company headed by Richard Hansen (affectionately known by friends and family as “King Richard”). The Hansen’s employ a friendly, highly trained team of jewelry professionals. Our team consists of Gemologists, Designers, Model makers, Goldsmiths, Platinumsmiths, Stonesetters and Customer Service Representatives all devoted to delivering top quality jewelry treasures to our valued customers. Consistently voted #1 jeweler and “favorite business person” in our local community, Richard has built this business

on honesty, a high code of ethics, and of course exceptional jewelry and service. Gold&Gems is proud to offer the Pandora collection which has become the choice of women all over the world who want to express their own personal style. You can design your Pandora Charm Bracelet from more than 750 individual

over the middle two threads. The clips are opened by sliding one fingernail into the side corner of the crease. The clip will gently open. To close the clip, simply pinch the sides together. The beads move freely and rotate slightly with your wrists’ movement, creating an undeniable eye-catching effect. If you choose to add the decorative safety chain, place the swivel cuff onto your bracelet first. Then arrange beads in the desired order and finish with the second cuff. I encourage you to call us, or email us using our convenient online form if you have questions regarding fine jewelry, gemstones or just any issue surrounding the sometimes confusing world-wide-web.

HARDWARE & TOOLS

A Passion For Tools, Locomotives and Community Featured prominently on the corner of Pacific Hwy and Elm Street in Medford Oregon, one cannot help but see the large building next to the Jack In The Box restaurant. This yellow painted building has more than just the name Medford Tools and Supply on the side of it. It is just as well known for its’ iconic sign right out front which often displays a positive statement or thought for the community to read while driving by. Community involvement is important to this family owned business of over 30 years. Owners Holly and Nadine Snyder operate Medford Tools and Supply with their son Rodd. First established in 1983, the original location was located downtown on 3rd and Central, The Snyders moved the business in 1992 to its current location in order to expand the business.When asked about his success competing against the Big Box Stores, Holly states, “We are not always the lowest price, but we are always a fair price, and coupled with out customer service, this has been a very successful formula for us.” In talking with Holly, you will find he is very passionate about supplying the local community with the tools they need to get a job done right. He jokes that the most common thing he hears from customers when they are looking for a unique tool is that they “looked every-

where else and glad to have finally found it here”. Thus the Medford Tools and Supply theme, “Looking for a Tool? Why not start where you are going to end up!” In addition to a successful retail business, Medford Tools and Supply enjoys a robust internet presence. Almost half of their sales come from internet transactions from all over the world. They are a top distributor for Occidental Leather, a U.S. manufacturer of leather tool belts and bags for the construction industry. Holly recalls one of the first large inter-

Holly Snyder at the controls of his 1/8 scale locomotive

net orders they received back in the late 90’s was from a division of NASA, who purchased one of their milling machines and lathes. As passionate as Holly and his team are about serving the community with their products, he is equally excited

32 WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 3 Issue 2 | Rogue Valley, Oregon

about giving back to the community. One of Holly’s passions is mini-railroading. He has been a key supporter of the Railroad Park in Medford, rated as one of the top 101 things to see in Oregon. Not only does he support the park, he has actually designed and built one of the 1/8 scale locomotives which transports guests throughout the park. Holly stated, “I have driven nearly 3000 miles on those tracks through the years, the equivalent of crossing the entire United States from east to west and hauled some 50,000 kids and parents.” The Railroad Park is located in Medford Oregon, just off Hwy 62 and Table Rock Road (From Hwy. 5, take exit 30 and head west toward downtown Medford). This Railroad Park is the only city park in the United States that is run and operated by five different volunteer model railroad organizations. Not a penny of tax payer money goes into this endeavor to care, maintain, improve, and run the park yet Railroad Park is open for operations to the public free of charge on the second and fourth Sundays of each month from April through October.

LIMOUSINE SERVICE & WINERY TOURS

Wine Tasting and Touring in the Rogue Valley Region Is a Great Bunch of Fun and a Delicious Education! Southern Oregon, or more specifically the Rogue Valley and Applegate Valley offer a unique opportunity to taste and experience locally grown grape varietals and blended wines that compete with any other famous winemaking region of the world. This area is unique in that it has the ideal characteristics for growing a large variety of quality grapes within a small region. The Rogue Valley’s American Viticultural Area (AVA) is comprised of three distinct river valleys, each with slightly different grape cultivating characteristics. The warmest and driest of the three valleys in the Rogue region -- Bear Creek Valley runs parallel with the I-5 corridor. Its climate is similar to France’s Bordeaux region and is well suited for growing highly prized grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec and Syrah. Not to be outdone, the Applegate Valley, which is south of Grants Pass and east of Bear Creek Valley, beautifully stretches out along the path of the Applegate River, the valley’s more moderate climate is generally drier and warmer than the Illinois Valley to its west, yet not as warm and dry as Bear Creek Valley to the east. Its vineyards are planted

to Bordelaise varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay and Zinfandel. To the west of the Applegate Valley Appellation, and still within the Rogue Valley Appellation, the Illinois Valley is furthest of the three valleys from the primary population areas. High elevation and a marine influence, spilling over the coastal mountains to the west, are major elements of this valley’s distinct terrain. These influences make the Illinois Valley’s microclimate suitable for growing high-quality Burgundian varieties such as Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, early Muscat and Gamay Noir. So whether you are well schooled at wine appreciation or not, planning a few days of wine touring is a “must do” activity now that you are living in this beautifully located region. Of course, we recommend that the best way to take in the various wineries worry-free is to plan to pack a nice picnic, invite some new friends or visiting family, and schedule one of our limousines so that you can take in the beautiful landscapes from the comfort of a luxuriously appointed vehicle with your own personal chauffeur to guide you in your quest. With all of the wineries to choose

38 WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 3 Issue 2 | Rogue Valley, Oregon

from, and more tasting rooms opening every year, it is simply impossible to take them all in during a single day. Wine making is an art as well as a skill, so be patient with yourself and allow the time to savor the uniquely wonderful characteristics of each winery and their signature offerings. The summer and autumn seasons are just perfect for enjoying the scenery but most wineries stay open year round just in case you miss a few. At Taste of Honey Limousine, we pay attention to the little details that will make your winery tour a day without hassle or worry. We always have your personal experience in mind and we feel that the best way to maximize your enjoyment of the day or of that special evening is to have your very own chauffeur at the wheel. We specialize in winery tours, weddings, anniversaries, quinceaneras and all other special events that make up the milestones of one’s lifetime. We also provide elegant transportation for business and corporate events as well as airport service day or night. Give us a call at 541-779-5123 to find out how affordable it is to schedule a limousine. We help guide you so that your day is one filled with fun and priceless memories.

PLUMBING & DRAIN SERVICE

Take Advantage of Incentives for Heat Pump Water Heaters and Save Up To 50% on Water Heating Costs S.O.S. Plumbing is a familyowned and operated company. We are proud to be a small, independent, local business and believe that being familyowned allows us the opportunity to pay special attention to each of our clients and provide our customers with personalized attention and the best customer service available. Since 1980, Jackson County business owners and homeowners have relied on S.O.S. Plumbing to solve their plumbing and drain cleaning challenges. Our team of clean, uniformed, professional plumbers is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and dedicated to locating and solving your problem quickly and effectively. Roy Burris started S.O.S. Plumbing with just a Volkswagen and a drain machine. Due to almost 30 years of excellent service and continued customer satisfaction, we have increased our services, technology, and staff, including a full service excavation crew to meet our customers’ needs. We have many customers who have used our company exclusively since they first called us in the early 1980’s. No job is too big or small and our company believes in following all jobs to completion,

no matter how difficult they are. We will ensure that all your plumbing, sewer, and drain problems are taken care of. In addition to traditional plumbing and drain service needs, we strive to stay up to date with the latest technologies so we can effectively save you money on your monthly energy costs. Ready for a water heater upgrade? Did you know that 20-30 percent of your home’s energy is used to heat water? That’s as much or more energy than you use for your appliances, electronics and lights. Installing a Heat pump water heater is one of the easiest energy-saving improvements a homeowner can make. Heat pump water heaters are the most efficient water heaters available today. Heat pump water heaters are ideal for homeowners looking to… •Replace an old, inefficient electric water heater •Lower household energy consumption The purchase price for heat pump water heaters is higher than the average standard electric water heater, but in return the unit cuts waterheating costs up to 50%. High efficiency electric storage water heaters promise huge energy savings. You can begin planning now for your

44 WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 3 Issue 2 | Rogue Valley, Oregon

next water heater purchase and enjoy all these benefits: Big savings. Heat pump water heaters can save the average household approximately $250 per year on its electric bills compared to a standard electric water heater. Larger families — that typically use more hot water — will save even more! A smart investment. Heat pump water heaters have higher initial costs than conventional storage water heaters. However, they have lower operating costs, being 2-3 times more efficient than conventional water heaters, which can offset their higher purchase and installation prices. To help offset the initial cost, incentives on qualifying heat pump water heaters up to $1850.00 are available (depending on model) for a limited time. $750 Smart Water Heater Incentive ends March 31, 2014. A purchase that protects the environment. If everyone buying an electric water heater this year chose a heat pump water heater model instead of a standard model, we would avoid 19.6 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. That’s the equivalent of taking 1.6 million cars off the road. How it works. To move the heat, heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse. While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it into the surrounding room, a stand-alone air-source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it—at a higher temperature—into a tank to heat water.
