Spring is a good time to repair, replace, and maintain household equipment such as plumbing, air conditioning, appliances, and more. It’s the time most of us get excited about cleaning up around the house, updating/remodeling, and replacing old, worn out household items.

Nationwide, we have the capability of saving billions of gallons of water annually by retrofitting older bathroom faucets with WaterSense models. Water efficiency is increased substantially and water performance is not compromised. Using WaterSense faucets and accessories at a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute can reduce a sink’s water flow by 30% and more, over the standard flow of 2.2 gallons per minute. The country could save close to $1.2 billion in water and energy costs – and 64 billion gallons of water annually.

WaterSense labeled bathroom and kitchen sink faucets and aerators are available in a wide range of styles, brands, and prices – and they help reduce the use of our precious water resources. It is wise to also consider WaterSense high–performing, water-efficient fixtures in the kitchen to help reduce even more water use, and to save money on water bills.

Products with the WaterSense label have completed an independent certification process, which meets all EPA criteria. It is a label that helps
us all.

Conserve water, save money, and preserve our resources.

Technology for your comfort control has exploded in leaps and bounds. Today – you can control your thermostat when you are away from your house and save money and energy, in the process.

Here is a fun picture of Honeywell Thermostat technology.

                             1953                                                                  Today
         

When the Honeywell Round was introduced, it was a very basic thermostat. You set the temperature you want, for your comfort, and to change it you need to manually change the temperature. Over the years there were clocks installed, then a digital clock and eventually programmable timers to control the temperatures in your home.

Check out this link for the very interesting timeline of the technology:
http://lyric.honeywell.com/innovation/

Today, with the Honeywell Lyric Thermostat, you can control the temperature in your home, even when you are not at home. This translates into savings of both money and energy. The Lyric is an app-based technology using a WiFi connection. Also using geofencing technology, which means the thermostat can detect the location of your smartphone so that when you are away from your home, the temperature will adjust to an “away from home” temperature that you have programmed. Alternatively, when you are getting close to returning home, based on your location and the geofencing technology, the temperature will be adjusted accordingly to the “at home” temperature you have programmed. When you have a changing schedule (like after-work commitments) your thermostat will know that you are not home or near home. There will be no automatic 7:00pm change in temperature because that is what you have set as the time you return home every day.

This is innovative and just very cool technology. One of the features takes into consideration the humidity and temperature to be sure your desired temperature is met and it feels the same, inside your home, every time. You can also receive alerts for upcoming filter changes or extreme temperatures.

In our homes, we don’t give much thought to flushing a toilet – it’s just something we have to do. We do this every day, several times a day. In some public places, like restaurants and airports, we have seen those modern toilets where you do not have to press a lever and the toilet flushes with no touching. But did you ever think there would be something similar available for your home?

We love seeing progress in technology and products that are beneficial to all of us. Kohler has brought to the public for our homes, touchless flushing toilet products and a touchless flush kit if you do not need to purchase a new toilet. The Touchless Flush Kits can be retrofitted on many existing toilets and it’s easy to do. It is also affordable at just under $100 for the kit.

What are the benefits of Kohler’s Touchless Technology?

• This format reduces hygiene problems.
• This is virtually maintenance-free. Only batteries need to be replaced.
• The Touchless Flush Kits are powered by 4 AA batteries (which are included in the kit).
• The Kohler touchless toilet models use four AA batteries that last almost one year depending on the toilet use.
• The technology they use – an electromagnetic field, is more reliable and accurate than beam based sensors.

If you have any further questions about the benefits of this technology for your home, contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and help if you want to install a touchless flush kit or a new touchless flush toilet.

We have been speaking about the benefits of using a programmable thermostat for a while now. It just makes good sense to help control the temperature in your house when you and your family are there and also, when you are not at home. Not only can you save energy, you can save money on your utility bills during these very hot summer months and throughout the year.

There are a variety of great programmable thermostats on the market – from products with simple, basic features at the low end, to the capability of controlling your thermostat remotely. Think of how many times in the past, you left the house and realized that you never adjusted the thermostat to a higher temperature when no one is home. Now you can make those changes remotely through your phone, tablet or computer, with some models of thermostats.

Honeywell has taken it one step further with voice recognition cloud technology. You can change the temperature of your home, through simple voice commands. Even in a busy household, their advanced technology can break through the ambient noise and recognize the voice commands.

This voice control thermostat is a combination of their advanced voice recognition technology and their Smart WiFi technology. This makes staying comfortable year round easier than ever, with saving money top of mind.

It’s easy to use. Check out the video:

A programmable thermostat is such a great tool to have in your home to help you control the temperature in your house, at all times of the day. Especially now, as we approach the 100+ degree weather for the next several months, you want (and need) a “smart” thermostat to help you control your temperature and budget your costs. None of us look forward to the high summer energy bills we receive and a programmable thermostat can help you lower your bills.

Check out this fun, interactive site from ENERGY STAR which gives you a step-by-step tutorial on how to program your thermostat. If you are unsure how to operate a programmable thermostat, this is a great start to learn about it.

http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=thermostats.progThermostat

Here are some important things to remember with a programmable thermostat:

• Setting the temperature very high (like 90 or 95) and setting it very low (like 40 or 50) will not help cool or warm your home any quicker than using a more moderate temperature.
• Remember to change the batteries. You may need to check if your thermostat has a battery indicator. If not, change the battery at the same time you change your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (at the Daylight Savings time in the spring and in the fall).
• Set your energy-saving settings for long periods of time (for example – 8 hours) during the day and during bed/sleep time. Consistent temperatures for longer periods of time, is best.
• During vacation, set the temperature at a constant temperature throughout the entire period of time you are away from your home.
• If you have a home with zoned heating and cooling, install a programmable thermostat in each zone. This is the best way to take advantage of maximum comfort and energy savings.
• Try to resist overriding your temperature settings. You set them for a reason and to help you save money. When you override them, it likely will contribute to a higher energy bill.

There are many great choices for programmable thermostats. Get started on the best comfort in your home and the lowest energy bills you have ever received. Marlin Services can help you determine what is best for your home and answer any questions you may have.

Stay cool and comfortable!
