Utility bills getting out of hand?

Here are a couple of tips and tricks to keeping your monthly bills to a minimum.

☺ Keep your thermostat at a comfortable degree for you. If you need it cooler in the evening turn it down after dark and put it back to 78 first thing in the morning.

☺ If you are not going to be home for a few days put the A/C at a higher temperature.

☺ Your A/C will not cool your home to 68 degrees in the middle of the summer. All that does is keep the compressor running 24/7 and run up your bill.

☺ Keep the area around the outside AC unit clear and free of debris. Do not attempt to service it yourself. If there is a problem, call in a work order.

Weather Change In most years, October brings the first cold nights. The first time you use the heat in your home, the smell of burning dust on the heat exchanger in the furnace is normal. It’s a good idea to open a few windows and turn the heat on for a few minutes before you need it. The burning dust will sometimes set off the smoke alarms that’s no fun in the middle of the night.

Dog bite injuries can happen anywhere at any time, but there are several things that make Halloween night one of the most potentially dangerous when it comes to being attacked by a dog. It's easy to understand that a usually well-behaved dog can be scared by the doorbell ringing and people yelling trick or treat, along with the startling, loud noises from fireworks. You may have the gentlest dog in the world, but you never know when the sight or scent of a group of strangers, especially in costume, could agitate them to the point of charging and attacking someone. Please keep that in mind this Halloween and keep your pet secured in your home, even if you need to keep it in a separate room.
