When you consider the significance of a garbage disposal today, it’s clear they have come a long way in the past several years. Disposals are a valuable piece of equipment in the kitchen. This small kitchen appliance is more than a grinding machine. It adds value in helping us to be more environmentally friendly.

Garbage disposals are essential in kitchens today, and it’s estimated that half of American households have a disposal in their kitchen. We have come to expect far more from a disposal than we once did. A standard disposal just doesn’t cut it anymore. Today, a consumer wants disposals with more horsepower, greater torque, faster, quieter, one that has multi-grind stages, balanced grinding, odor control, energy efficient, a variety of colors, and more. We continue to see new technology and benefits when it comes to food disposals, and they have become even more efficient.

Eco-conscious homeowners and many commercial users have deeper concerns today. They are concerned about the environment and the effects of more trash filling up our landfills. Rather than throwing all food scraps into trash cans and landfills, today’s disposals help effectively eliminate food scraps in a more environmentally responsible way. From the disposal, waste travels through the sewer system, and into water treatment plants, thus eliminating a considerable amount of trash from landfills.

The cost of operating a disposer is generally less than 50 cents per year in electricity costs and it costs only about one percent of our household water usage.

Because air conditioners tend to run hard during spring and summer in metro Phoenix, we’d like to share a few tips to help lessen the stress put on your AC’s operating system. Air conditioners can overheat when they work too hard and they must overcompensate when too much heat accumulates in the home. You can take action to help reduce the amount of internal heat generated in your home from taxing your AC operations.

LESSEN THE HEAT LOAD ON YOUR AC WITH THESE TIPS

• Check your attic and be sure there is proper insulation to keep your AC running efficiently to cool the home. To keep your home cooler and reduce utility bills, add insulation if needed.
• Keep windows and doors closed during the heat of the season.
• Use window coverings to block the harsh sun from heating the inside of the house.
• Operate electronics, lights, small appliances, stoves, dishwashers, washers and dryers only when you need them and during cooler times of the day. This helps reduce the amount of heat generated inside the home.
• Instead of using the stove all the time, use the outdoor grill instead. It’s a good way to reduce the indoor temperature.
• Commit to regular air conditioning maintenance, and have AC repairs handled quickly, and be sure to change your air filter monthly to keep your home cool and comfortable through the heat of the season.
