If you live in an older home built before the 1960s and 70s, you’re likely familiar with the challenges of installing a traditional forced air heating and cooling system. Adding modern amenities like air conditioning can seem like a distant dream, especially if your home has a historical designation.
Before central heating and air conditioning systems became widespread in the 1960s, most homes relied on boiler systems for heating and lacked ductwork for central AC. Moreover, these homes often lack the space to accommodate traditional ducts without adding unsightly and bulky soffits or dropped ceilings to the living area….

The refrigerator is an often overlooked appliance in our homes. Over time, the coils on the back of your refrigerator become covered with dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris.
The condenser coils on the back or bottom of your refrigerator should be cleaned from time to time. This ensures your refrigerator operates much more efficiently and saves energy.

When dust, dirt, and other debris accumulate on the fan blades, it puts additional stress on the fan’s motor. This reduces the fan’s lifespan, efficiency, and ability to move air.
Additionally, when the fan is turned on, these dust particles become circulated throughout the room, potentially aggravating allergies or respiratory issues.

Faucet aerators serve multiple functions, from shaping water flow to catching debris. If left uncleaned, these screens can accumulate a surprising amount of debris, affecting water quality and flow.
Unscrewing these from your faucets to clean them every so often ensures healthy water and optimal performance of your faucets.

Much like cleaning the coils on your refrigerator, your freezer should also be cleaned/defrosted when a considerable amount of ice/frost has built up.
Not only does frost buildup take away room to store your food, but it also makes the freezer use more energy. Therefore, putting unnecessary strain on the freezer’s compressor.

Did you know your dishwasher has a filter? Without a periodic inspection and rinse, food and other debris can build up and cause blockages.
A dirty filter primarily causes unpleasant odors and less clean dishes. However, in some cases it can cause much more serious problems with drainage or even cause damage to the pump’s motor.

How much water is your toilet using? According to the EPA, toilets are by far the main source of water use in the home, accounting for nearly 30 percent of an average home’s indoor water consumption.
If your water bill is putting a dent in your wallet, consider upgrading to a more energy-efficient toilet. Modern high-efficient toilets only use about 1.28 GPF (gallons per flush) as compared to older toilets that can use between 2 and 7 GPF depending on their age.
