Buyer doubts accuracy of home inspection Dear Barry: My home is currently in escrow, and I'm having trouble with the home inspector's evaluation of the air conditioner. The A/C has always worked well, but the inspector says it needs repair by a contractor. When I asked him why, he said the refrigerant pipe did not become cold immediately after the system was turned on. This kind of test doesn't make sense to me. The pipe may not become cold, but the air circulation definitely gets cold and has always made my home comfortable in the summertime. Now the buyer wants me to hire a contractor to repair a system works just fine as it is. Does this make sense to you? Ed
Barry Stone Inspector’s in the House
Dear Ed: The method you describe for testing an air conditioner is not an accepted technique for home inspectors or for HVAC contractors and indicates an ill-informed understanding of A/C systems. The refrigerant pipe in an cooling system needs about five minutes or more to become cold, even when the system is in optimum condition. Regardless of how long the system has been running, checking the temperature of the refriger-
something to negotiate before making the service call.
If the air conditioner needs repair, the cost should be yours; if the system is found to be fully operative, perhaps the buyer should incur the contractor's cost. ant tube is not a reliable test because it does not ensure that the cold air output is adequate at the registers. The standard method for evaluating a system's effectiveness is to measure the temperature differential between the intake air and the conditioned air after approximately five to ten minutes of continuous running time. A differential of 15 to 20 degrees is to be expected when the system is in good operational condition. To expect the sys-
tem to produce cold air or a cold refrigerant pipe immediately is simply not practical. In most cases, a functional system would fail this kind of makeshift inspection. If the buyer insists on having a contractor’s evaluation, perhaps the service billing should be based upon the contractor's findings. If the air conditioner needs repair, the cost should be yours; if the system is found to be fully operative, perhaps the buyer should incur the contractor's cost. That would be
Dear Barry: When we purchased our home, we were told that it was 25 years old, and the seller confirmed this by showing us the manufacture date in the toilet tank. Recently, while repairing a leak in the other toilet, we found a manufacture date of 1972. Now we're wondering if the house is older than disclosed. How can we verify the age of our home? Gwenn Dear Gwenn: Manufacture dates in toilet tanks used to be a reliable way of dating a home. That was before toilet replacement became commonplace to
reduce water usage. In many communities, it has become a legal requirement to replace old toilets when homes are sold. Therefore, fewer and fewer homes still have the toilets that were installed when the houses were built. A more reliable way to determine the age of a home is to check with the local building department for the permit history of the property. If for any reason they cannot provide that information, consult the local tax assessor's office. Their records may show the year when the lot was reassessed as improved property.

Are you covered in the event of an emergency? Insurance. It’s a word we are familiar with and for most leaves a bad taste in our mouth. There is insurance for your home, car and life, but did you know you can buy insurance to be helicoptered out of an emergency situation through CALSTAR? CALSTAR is located just off of Interstate 80 and the Bowman exit. You will see the helicopter parked there when they aren’t out rescuing people. You can join their AirMedCare Network (AMCN) membership for $85 a year (this includes your household). You can also pay $140 a year for the AMCN Fly-U-Home membership or have the option

The AMCH Fly-U-Home provides membership for everyone in your household to get back to a local hospital (if you are out of

Move chemicals and cleaning products onto high shelves, tape electrical cords to baseboards, find ways to secure cabinets and doors that you would prefer not to have curious hands, mouths and noses digging around in, and make sure anything that can induce choking is stored in a safe place, far away from the curious new family member.

What are the effects of hard water Hard water, which contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, can be found in nearly 90 percent of American homes. These minerals cause scaling, a buildup that clogs waterlines and plumbing forcing appliances to work harder and operate less efficiently. The scale may also harbor bacteria. The only way to truly remove the hard and soft scale from household water systems is with saltbased water softeners. The benefits of salt-based water softening are significant. Hard water scaling can cause your showerhead to lose up to 75 percent of its flow rate in 18 months. Hard water also interacts negatively with soap, reducing its cleaning power. Soft water is up to 12 times more effective at cleaning dishes than increasing the amount of detergent used. According to the Water Quality Research Foundation for washing machines, the most
important factor in removing stains from clothing was water softness. Reduction of water hardness was up to 100 times more effective at stain removal than increasing the detergent dose or washing with hotter water. In fact, soft water can reduce soap use by as much as half. Hard water can also reduce the efficiency of water heaters and increase electricity costs by as much as 48 percent, according to the Battelle Memorial Institute. Hard water scaling can also affect your health. The piping used in home plumbing, whether copper or PVC, has very smooth interior surfaces that don't permit bacteria to settle and grow. However, hard water results in scale formation on the interior surfaces of those pipes, providing a perfect home for bacteria.

found bacteria may grow in pipes filled with hard scale and soft scale at the same rate. This is important because some forms of water conditioning produce this soft scale. The solution is to remove hard and soft scale in the pipes with a salt-based water softener. Hard water you use to wash your fresh fruits and vegetables may contain more bacteria, and the problem isn't only in the kitchen. When you take a hot shower, the steam you are inhaling can also contain the same microbial contamination that is in the rest of your plumbing, exposing you to bacteria such as Legionella, which can cause Legionnaire's disease. A salt-based water softener is the most functional and cost-effective means of removing hardness minerals. It is a tool to improve health and lower maintenance costs

On your most challenging days you can always count on your pet to greet you at the door when you come home or cuddle up in your lap in the evening. They are a vital part of your home life all year long, but when your life takes you away from home — as it often does during summer travel — are you thinking of them before you head out the door? With so much to pack and prepare for your trip, it's easy to forget about those you'll leave behind, like your pets. That's why if you're planning to leave for a day or longer, you should make sure to employ these five tips to make sure your pet is happy and safe while you're away. • Find a quality pet sitter. Dogs need to be walked and let out during the day, so when you're gone, you'll need a pet sitter to fill these duties. Finding a quality, reliable pet sitter can be the difference between a happy pet and damage to your home when you return. Try to trade sits with a fellow pet owner, and if that's

not possible, the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters is a nonprofit organization with resources to help you find the best pet sitter for you. • Be mindful of the tem-
perature. Knowing the temperature patterns in your destination city plays a big role in how you pack, but have you looked at what the weather has in store for your home

PETS: Having a pet doesn't mean putting summer plans on hold continued from 10
w h i l e y o u' r e g o n e ? Allowing your home to get overly hot while you're away isn't good for your pet. You can control the temperature in your home — even while you're away — w it h t he Colema n Echelon Hx Touch-screen Thermostat. This WiFienabled smart thermostat provides more than just comfort, it monitors the t em p e r a t u r e i n y ou r home, allowing you to always be aware of your home's temperature. And best of all, it's completely controllable from your smartphone, so even if you forget to make adjustment s before you go, resetting the temperature in your home is just a click away. • A little cleaning goes a long way. Your pet really isn't that different from you; they appreciate a nice
clean area to live in as well. Give it to them before you go by making sure the litter box or the yard is clea n a nd t hat you've picked up as much clutter as possible. Wash t he blankets that adorn their favorite sleeping places and make sure the space is ready for their use. • A little TV time. If commotion is the name of the game in your home, a house that is suddenly too quiet could have a negative impact on your pet. To a llev iate this concern, leave the television on in one of the rooms so your pet can enjoy a little noise in the background. Just make sure you choose a room that is different from where you r pet of ten sleeps so they can comfortably avoid the sound if they want to.
Gold Country Homes
• Leave a little bit of yourself. Is it possible to be in two places at once? In some ways yes. Leaving items out that smell like you — laundry or blankets, for example — can be a wonderf ul source of comfort in instances when your pet is feeling stressed. Just remember that if your pet likes to chew, these items could be their first target, so only leave things you're comfortable losing. Having a pet doesn't mean you need to put your summer plans on hold, it just adds another layer to your planning process. Apply the tips above, and you and your pet will be happy and comfortable until the trip is over and you're reunited. ~ BrandPoint
