What about Heater Efficiency Ratings?
All of the heating systems currently sold have at least an 80% AFUE rating, and some can get as high as 95 or 97%. The AFUE rating is the efficiency rating.

As a consumer, you would want the most energy-efficient furnace you can get, but there are a couple of other factors to consider. To begin with, heating systems with a 90+% AFUE rating typically cost significantly more than those rated around 80%. You will certainly save money on your monthly heating bills with the higher-efficiency furnace; the amount you save won’t offset the higher cost of the more efficient furnace unless you use it a lot. 80% is still very efficient, so if you live in a relatively temperate climate, you won’t save enough monthly to warrant the extra initial expense of the higher efficiency system.

We also only install heating systems that we believe are of the highest quality, so you can be sure you’re getting a heating system that will serve you well for many years. Give us a call today and let us know what we can do for you.

The West Nile Virus Mosquito

Over 3,000 species of mosquitoes are found worldwide, and 120 are found in the United States. Mosquitoes are an annoyance because of their parasitic nature. They also can be a serious health hazard due to their ability to transmit blood-borne parasites that cause disease. More on this website
West Nile virus is a new member or “emergent” to the virus of the family. West Nile Virus is found in both tropical and temperate regions. Because of this, it is a dangerous and worldwide killer. The Virus mainly infects birds but can also affect humans, horses, and other mammals. Bites spread the Virus from infected mosquitoes.

In most cases, eight percent of people infected with the virus have none of the symptoms. In the other, approximately twenty percent of the virus causes mild symptoms resembling the flu. These symptoms are known as West Nile. The virus is highly capable and able to pass through the blood-brain barrier. The most serious effects of West Nile Virus are encephalitis and meningitis. Both of these diseases can result in death. People over fifty are at a greater risk of developing severe disease. The symptoms include nausea, fever, stiff neck and changes in mental status.

Symptoms of West Nile Virus will develop three to fifteen days after the initial infection. Currently, there is no known effective treatment to the virus. West Nile can be diagnosed by employing an ELISA test to detect IgM antibodies that develop due to the virus.

The disease normally starts in an infected bird. A female mosquito will bite a bird who then carries the virus in her salivary glands. If she bites another bird, they will become affected by the virus, and the disease continues to spread in that fashion.

Secrets to Successful Pest Control

Most people dread finding pests in their homes or apartment. Pests are scary and unhealthy, and they contribute to high-stress levels. Thankfully, some secrets of successful pest control can help you rid your home of unwanted pests.

Careful Who You Feed

Feeding birds, squirrels, and deer in the backyard can be rewarding. However, the seed, bread, and fruit you offer can attract bugs. This is especially true if you live near wooded areas.

Mistakes People Make Around Pest Control

Pest control is a serious issue for property owners every season. Although being upset at discovering a few building pests is normal, it is important to avoid going overboard. For many people, discovering a wasp nest or a cupboard full of cockroaches means they think it is time to pull out all the sprays. Unfortunately, the methods many people use to eradicate pests will only worsen the problem.

Non-Toxic Pest Control

Non-toxic pest control methods are the best way to keep your property free from insects and animals that can damage your home. Although many chemical preparations claim to eradicate pests, these products can create other problems for residents and their families. Not only are these chemicals are safe for people with certain health conditions and young children, but they also negatively impact the environment.

Environmentally Friendly Pest Control Methods for Every Climate

In every type of climate, there are always pests that will try to invade buildings in an attempt to find shelter, food, and water. While pest control should be part of every building’s maintenance plan, there are some concerns about the impact of certain pesticides on the environment. Therefore, everyone needs to do their part to try to keep pests under control using some natural methods before moving on to chemical preparations.
