Consider buying new appliances in the fall Make a list of features you want, which helps narrow down the playing field and better focus your purchasing delivered only to find it doesn’t fit at the time of installation.

METRO CREATIVE

It may be summer, but when the weather turns cooler outdoor improvements become less practical. Homeowners’ thoughts may turn to projects they can tackle inside of the home.

That may be the time to consider the purchase of new appliances that can be the finishing touches to renovated spaces.

Fall is prime time to purchase new large appliances. Manufacturers typically unveil their latest models during September and October.

At this point, prices on older models will be reduced to make room for new ones. By the end of the year, any older models that have not yet been cleared out will be discounted further. Even though the end-of-the year deals will be better, the selection may be limited the longer you wait.

Now may be the right time to make large appliance purchases. Know the product before visiting the store.

Research Shoppers should begin their research at home before they even enter a store. Make a list of features you want in the appliance, which helps narrow down the playing field and better focus your purchasing decisions.

Once you have a list handy, speak with friends or family members about their experiences with brands and/or retailers.

Ask about which features they like the most and how often they have had to call for repairs. If they could do things differently,

Energy savings Consider appliances that reduce energy usage. Energy Star® appliances are produced in adherence to international standards for energy efficiency.

The program was started more than 20 years ago by the EPA and the Department of Energy. Since then, other countries have adopted the program. Appliances that feature the Energy Star® logo use 20 to 30 percent less energy than required by typical federal standards.

Homeowners who purchase qualifying appliances may be eligible for tax breaks and other incentives.

what would those things be?

Know your space Perhaps you are familiar with the adage to measure twice and cut once. The same can be said for measuring for an appliance.

Be sure you know the exact

measurements of the space that will house the new appliance.

Take into consideration the clearance needed to open doors, such as with a refrigerator or front-loading washing machine.

It can be a waste of time and money to have an appliance

Consider your lifestyle It is easy to be overwhelmed and awestruck by the number of appliances available. You may desire the biggest and best there is, but if you are not a superstar in the kitchen, you may not need the commercial stove. A bachelor may not require an oversized washing machine.

Do your research and comparison shop so you won’t have any regrets later on.

Moisture control inside home is important Ideal relative humidity range of a home should be between 40 to 50, according to heating and cooling experts METRO CREATIVE

Finding the right moisture balance in a home can be challenging. Too little moisture and a home can be plagued by static electricity and interior spaces that can feel dry and uncomfortable. But too much moisture in a home may make it susceptible to mold, mildew and insect infestations. Moisture also can rot wood and cause unsightly stains on walls and ceilings.

Maintaining humidity in the optimal indoor range helps to keep the home safe, reduce energy consumption and keep a home’s occupants healthy.

Damp conditions can lead to the growth of fungi, viruses and bacteria and may exacerbate people’s asthma and allergies.

The ideal relative humidity range of a home should be between 40 to 50, according to heating and cooling experts and the Environmental Prevention Agency. Humidity should be even lower in the winter to prevent condensation on windows and other surfaces. Lower relative humidity also reduces the out-gassing of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Measure humidity with a

Target indoor moisture at its sources, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

hygrometer to get an accurate assessment. If the humidity levels fall above or below the desired range, action should be taken. Homeowners dealing with excessive moisture can try these remedies.

• Ventilate areas of the home.

Ventilation can be the first step to reducing indoor humidity.

Target the areas that create the most moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Turn on venting fans to remove moist air from the bathroom during showers and baths. Exhaust hoods can control humidity from cooking in the kitchen. When possible, open windows on dry days to help air out damp spaces.

• Rely on fans. Use fans to circulate the air and prevent moist air from pooling in certain locations.

Fans also will help increase ventilation.

• Keep gutters and downspouts clean. Prevent water from pooling around the foundation of a home and infiltrating the basement or crawlspace. Direct

gutter water further away from the house if possible, and keep gutters free of obstructions.

• Service HVAC systems regularly. Routine inspections of heating and cooling systems can identify any problems, such as clogged air-conditioning drain lines or faulty operation, that can contribute to moisture problems.

• Beef up insulation. Insulate cold water pipes and look into insulated toilet tanks that will help eliminate condensation issues. Sealing out moisture in a basement or crawlspace also can help. Vapor barriers can eliminate a great deal of moisture coming into the home.

• Address any plumbing leaks.

Make sure you trace possible leaks to their sources and have them repaired. Constantly dripping water can add to humidity levels and create other problems.

• Use a dehumidifier. If all other efforts have been tried, a dehumidifier unit can help remove excess moisture from the air. Dehumidifiers are particularly helpful in basements where moisture can collect.

Controlling moisture in a home results in a safer and healthier space.
