Ductless, Mini Split Heat Pumps

posted by BlogPro

Ductless, Mini-Split Heat Pumps Ductless, mini-split-system heat pumps (mini splits) make good retrofit add-ons to houses with “non-ducted” heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions, where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible. Like standard air-source heat pumps, mini splits have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units. Since mini splits have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with ductwork of central forced air systems. Duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space such as an attic. Split-systems can also help to keep your home safer since there is only a small hole in the wall. Through-the-wall and window mounted room air-conditioners can provide an easy entrance for intruders. The primary disadvantage of mini splits is their cost. Such systems cost about $1,500–$2,000 per ton (12,000 Btu per hour) of cooling capacity. This is about 30% more than central systems (not including ductwork) and may cost twice as much as window units of similar capacity. The installer must also correctly size each indoor unit and judge the best location for its installation. Oversized or incorrectly located air-handlers often result in short-cycling, which wastes energy and does not provide proper temperature or humidity control. Too large a system is also more expensive to buy and operate.

Add Color With Window Treatments

posted by BlogPro

Many homeowners in Houston Texas are using window treatments as a way to add color to their home decor. Choosing a pattern with multiple colors will give you flexibility and options without having to change your window treatments each time you want another color. For example, you can’t decide between a solid green treatment and one that has a mixture of tan, green, gold, and rust.

The solid green treatment only gives you one shade of color choice, limiting your decorating options and usually requiring you to purchase another window treatment when you’re ready for a change. By selecting the multicolor window treatment you can select the gold color and purchase additional accents like decorative pillows, throws, vases, or other items.

Strategically placing the accent items in three areas of the space, it will draw your eye to the color in the room. When you’re tired of gold, you can select another color utilizing the same concept and so on. Solid or multicolor window treatments are both great ways to add color to your decor. Decide what works best for you and go for it!

Magazine Style Bedrooms

posted by BlogPro

Why have modern platform bed sets graced the covers of so many home magazines as of late? Because they are both functional and sexy! Not only do people love the space saving design of modern platform bed frames, but the low profile also makes for a very contemporary and hip look.

Modern platform beds owe their low profile not just too short legs, but to the fact that they do not require the use of a box spring. Without a box spring your mattress relies on the platform bed frame itself for support, eliminating the need for ugly cumbersome box springs. Eliminating a box spring from the equation not only means less things to buy, but a more hygienic bed as box springs notoriously harbor both dust and dust might.

So next time you’re considering a bedroom makeover give a modern platform bed frame a try. The low profile of a platform bed makes rooms feel more open and larger. You can get rid of that ugly bed skirt and you’ll save money by avoiding a box spring while giving your bedroom a clean contemporary look. All around it’s easy to see why modern platform beds have made it from the covers of home magazines and into homes around America.

Back Pain? Change Your Mattress Today!

posted by BlogPro

Do you have back pain that you just can’t explain? You’ve worked on your posture, maybe tried Pilates or yoga, and even visit a chiropractor or get a weekly massage. Still, you wake up every morning in pain. The wrong mattress is the leading cause of back pain for most people, contributing to thousands of people suffering each year.

If this sounds like you, you may want to explore the benefits of a different type of mattress – one that’s designed with your specific body in mind. Memory foam mattresses and pillows conform to your body’s unique shape and needs, supporting your spine, back, and neck exactly where you need it. It won’t matter if you sleep on your back or on your side – memory foam mattresses provide the correct amount of firmness, support, and softness to ensure that you will have a comfortable night’s sleep.

Advanced memory foam technology features visco elastic, a firmer material that provides more resistance to pressure and thus more support. It also includes an open-cell structure that circulates air flow to actually keep you cooler at night. But not all visco elastic memory foam mattresses are the same! You will want to make sure that yours is manufactured in the United States, where it will meet high domestic standards for quality and freedom from harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde.

Also keep an eye out for vacuum-sealed chambers that guarantee the density you’ve invested in – you don’t want a memory foam mattress that will deflate after only a few months of use. So what are the benefits you can expect to experience from your memory foam mattress? Imagine sleeping better and waking up refreshed and pain-free. Because your body remains comfortable and well supported the whole night long, you will toss and turn less, experience less discomfort, poor circulation, or numbness that forces you to change your position, and receive the support where you need it most.

All this means better quality sleep, including longer periods of REM, which contributes to more productive and energized waking hours. Because of their high-quality design, good memory foam mattresses are designed to last up to twice as long as standard mattresses (some with a guaranteed 20-year lifespan), making them an investment that’s well worth the money. Put your mattress to the test today and experience the luxury of a restful, revitalizing night’s sleep.
