Having your heat go out in the middle of winter is the wrong time to scramble around trying to figure out who to call. The prudent thing to do is to contact an HVAC technician in late summer or early fall, before you need your furnace. Have them inspect your system and stop potential problems before they start.

By law, an antique is an item that’s at least 100 years old. A collectible is just about anything that people collect. The age of a collectible is not important, except if an item is labeled a vintage collectible which means it is at least 50 years old. A reproduction is an item created to look like an original, but that has no value in the antiques world.

Elk Ave • Elizabethton, TN Sun-Thurs 10am - 6pm Fri-Sat 10am - 8pm FROM THE EXPERTS Energy-Efficient Products Add Comfort and Savings W hen buying a new home or remodeling an existing one, many people get caught up in the selection of hardwood flooring or cabinet colors and can sometimes forget about adding real value to a home — specifically with the right combination of energy-saving solutions and an optimal heating and cooling (HVAC) system. What’s behind the walls and in the attic, basement or utility closet can really impact a home’s value and performance and lead to greater energy savings and long-term buyer satisfaction. The average homeowner spends approximately $1,900 a year on energy bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating and cooling account for about 56 percent of a typical home’s energy usage, making it the largest energy expense for most homes. A natural first step to achieving an energy-efficient home is to install a high-efficiency heating and cooling system. Many of today’s top builders and contractors are turning to the experts for their full line of energy-efficient solutions to help reduce energy use in homes without pricing buyers out of the market. Plus, many energy-efficient products meet or exceed federal energy requirements and are Energy Star compliant. Though investing in energy-efficient heating and cooling may have the biggest impact on reducing household energy use, homeowners should approach energy efficiency from a more holistic perspective. A highly efficient system should work in concert with high-quality insulation, water heater, windows, roofing, light fixtures and energy-efficient appliances to ensure the greatest energy savings. Be sure to talk with a homebuilder or contractor about how these various systems work together to determine the right solution based on the style of home and climate. So while contemplating what color to paint the master bedroom, think about what’s in the utility closet, too. It’ll reduce future energy use and contribute to a comfortable home. 10 – Fall 2014 COMMUNITY CONTRACTORS CONNECTION™ Appliances - Sales & Repair FROM THE EXPERTS N ewer appliances have more efficient designs making them less expensive to run. When you choose an appliance with an Energy Star rating, you know you will be getting an energy efficient model. It’s also important to purchase an appliance with a capacity that fits your needs. If you are a family of three, you may not need an extracapacity washing machine which will use more water and take more energy to run.

Art that’s too large will overwhelm and art that’s too small will be lost and look out of proportion. The bolder the art, the more room it needs to breathe. Measure the space you want to hang the art and leave enough “white space” so the painting will not feel crowded. As a rule, paintings should be hung so the center is at eye level. Rules are mostly guidelines however, so feel free to experiment.

It’s best to choose an awning with a light color, as it will hold less heat beneath and have a lower temperature. You can also reduce heat beneath the awning by buying one that includes venting. Make sure you choose porch awnings that provide good drainage so water doesn’t accumulate on top of the awning. For fabric awnings, don’t let heavy snow accumulate on top during winter.

They have the professional knowledge and experience to find you the home you want, not just one you can afford. Here are some basic reasons why using a real estate agent is a good idea: Negotiation Skills – Great real estate agents know how to negotiate. They represent their clients in negotiation of the home price, anything that needs to be addressed after the home inspection, closing details and the like. They have an impact on every aspect of the buying process and using a real estate agent can mean saving thousands of dollars. Experience – Looking for a home and getting through the closing process can be very intimidating. Real estate agents have the experience to guide you through this process and they have the knowledge of neighborhoods, homes or condos on the market and properties coming on the market that you should absolutely tap into. Resources – Finding a home inspector, a closing attorney or agent, a seller’s attorney, an appraiser, a mortgage broker can all be arduous and painful. Your real estate agent will have contacts in all of these areas, so be sure to tap into their network to explore all of your options. Fall 2014 – 13 Banks, Mortgage, Title & Escrow FROM THE EXPERTS D ue to new mortgage regulations that went into effect in early 2014, lenders may be extra diligent when underwriting home loans. The rules put pressure on lenders to verify that borrowers have the ability to repay their loans. Keep good records of your finances, including bank statements, tax returns, W-2s, investment accounts and any other assets you own. Being prepared before seeking a lender will make the process less stressful.

Cut a 1-foot square of aluminum foil and tape the square to the basement wall that collects the most water with masking tape and leave for 24 hours. Then look at the foil to see if there are beads of water on the outside. This condensation issue can be helped by using a dehumidifier, opening windows, and using a fan in the basement to create air movement.

According to the National Flood Insurance Program, a home that floods even as little as an inch will cause an average of $7,800 worth of damage. By diverting water away from a home’s foundation and reducing sedimentation of nearby wetlands, rain gutters are one measure that help homeowners avoid flooding. By keeping water off of walls, rain gutters help homeowners avoid the costly bills associated with weathering and rot, and may decrease the frequency with which homeowners need to stain or paint their house. Rain gutters also help homeowners avoid expensive landscaping repairs to their lawn by reducing soil erosion. The wetter the climate the more we need a properly functioning gutter system. Water that collects next to the foundation of a house will tend to find its way into some part of the structure and cause water and moisture damage. 30 – Fall 2014 COMMUNITY CONTRACTORS CONNECTION™ Home Furnishings FROM THE EXPERTS F urniture can be one of the biggest investments you make for your home.

Notes _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ R aking leaves is a great overall workout. And like most physical activities, it’s something to be done in moderation. To prevent shoulder problems, avoid long reaches with your arms. Alternate raking on your left and right side every 5 to 10 pulls for a more balanced muscular response. Practice brief periods of raking interspersed with leaf collecting. Frequently changing body positions will emphasize different muscle groups and help prevent injuries. When bending down to collect leaves, flex your knees rather than bend your back. You don’t have to clear the whole yard in a single session. Spend about one or two hours tending to the leaves, and leave the rest for another day. COMMUNITY CONTRACTORS CONNECTION™ Fall 2014 – 39 Lawn & Garden Equipment FROM THE EXPERTS W hen shopping for a new lawnmower, most homeowners consider price, brand and features.

You can reduce energy costs by installing energy-efficient windows and doors in your home. If your budget is tight, adding energy efficient improvements to existing windows can help. Adding storm windows can reduce air leakage and improve comfort. Caulking and weather-stripping can reduce air leakage around windows. Use caulk for stationary cracks, gaps, or joints less than one-quarter inch wide, and weather-stripping for building components that move, such as doors and operable windows. Window treatments or coverings can reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Most window treatments, however, aren’t effective at reducing air leakage or infiltration. If your home has very old and/or inefficient windows, it might be more cost-effective to replace them than to try COMMUNITY CONTRACTORS CONNECTION™ to improve their energy efficiency. New, energy-efficient windows eventually pay for themselves through lower heating and cooling costs. When properly selected and installed, energy-efficient windows can help minimize your heating, cooling, and lighting costs. Improving window performance in your home involves design, selection, and installation. Fall 2014 – 55 Windows FROM THE EXPERTS A re your windows difficult to open or shut? Drafty? Do you notice condensation or fogging between panes? Any deterioration or water stains around the window area? These are the signs that it’s time for new windows. New windows can drastically alter the appearance of a house. Replacing a standard rectangular window with a bow window, for instance, not only enhances cosmetic appeal but creates the illusion of more space.
