Healthy Homes of Rochester

I have heard, over the years, when talking to people about home improvements or making their homes healthy by saving money that they need a larger hot water tank. Well, I am going to address it real easily in this article.

The answer to that is – No you do not need a larger hot water tank. If you are running out of hot water and only 2 people have taken a shower, then there is a problem. One reason is that one or both of the people have taken an extremely long shower or the shower head that is in the home is dumping out too much water.

A simple solution to both of the above reasons is to visit your nearest hardware store or visit Healthy Homes of Rochester’s products page and select a high efficiency, low flow shower head. It is a simple replacement and not expensive. I think you can get one for under ten dollars.

I know plenty of you will say that they do not give off enough water to take a shower. I am telling you that they do give off enough water and at the same time conserve a bunch of your water. Replacing the shower head with a low flow, high efficiency shower head will reduce the cost of your water bill and the cost to heat the hot water at the same time. Changing the shower head will also cut electric costs if you live in an area where you are on a well. The well pump will not have to turn on as much. What a bargain that is. The shower head will pay for itself within the year.

Most low flow, high efficiency shower heads only dispense 1.5 gallons of water per minute. This is compared to the original 2.5 gallons per minute or more depending on the style.

I think this is a great place to start when going green and saving money.

We all want to protect our valuable home theater electronics, computers and appliances from the risk of lightning strike, power surge, or a brownout. Most of us use power surge strips to protect our valuable electronics. Most of us don’t run our home’s appliances (washer/dryer, refrigerator, sump pump, etc.) through any kind of surge protector, which, if a destructive surge were to occur, could zap them out of commission. There goes a lot of money down the drain should you suffer from this happening and you having to replace these appliances.

In addition to whole house surge protection for your home, the ‘Power Miser’ device’s main selling feature is its technology, which reduces your home or business’s electricity consumption from the utility, lowering your electrical bill by up to 25% each month, while also helping the environment.

The Power Miser unit gets professionally installed between your electrical meter and circuit breaker box. The technology behind the Power Miser unit is in its capacitors, which store electricity for use within your home or business. Appliances, especially those with inductive motors (such as air conditioning units, furnaces, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washer and dryers, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, and so on) drawing power straight from your meter is many times an inefficient process, wasting a good deal of electricity. The Power Miser’s technology supplies stored electricity to your appliances and electronics, reducing your demand from the utility. In doing so, your meter slows down and you use considerably less electricity. This causes you to have a considerable decrease in your electricity bill from your utility, and helps conserve the environment.

Power Miser is a no-risk decision to whole house surge protection and energy savings for residents and businesses.

Since having a Power Miser installed in my home for the purpose of saving energy, going green, and, whole house surge protection, I have found I do not blow out light bulbs any longer. It never occurred to me that this Power Miser devise would save my light bulbs, but it does! I used to have to replace about 4 light bulbs per month. Since the Power Miser has been installed I have not replaced one. Amazing results which were not expected.

I have been one of the first to test a “state of the art”, new technology. It is called an automatically controlled Power Miser by PMC eco Supply, LLC.

This product installs in a home or small business to cut the electric consumption of the home or building. It typically saves about 10 to 25 percent. The Power Miser is best installed by an electrician. The Power Miser is made of capacitors which are computer controlled to automatically adjust to the load in the building at any given time. They actually turn off when there is nothing running in the home.

We have tested one with great results. The best part is that the Power Miser comes with software and Bluetooth ready to send the live data of the electrical system right to your computer! There is no other technology like this on the market. The retail price is $1400.00 but for saving money and monitoring your home, we think that is a great product. I would suggest contacting http://www.pmcecosupply.com and getting on the list to order one of these. The new Power Miser is on back order due to the demand. There is about a 3 week turn around to getting the product.

We love when a local Rochester, NY company has a great new innovative product.

The third example shows the largest size single phase Power Miser installed. It achived a 27% savings thus far.
We are contiuing to monitor the savings on electricity to see how the Power Miser devices operate with the expensive air conditioning months coming up.

Fixie Chick & Power Factor Correction Devices

The Fixie Chick had a power factor correction device installed in her home. We watched the electric usage each billing cycle. We found that the unit made about a 10% savings on the first month and surprisingly a 23% savings on the 2nd month.
We do understand that the weather can make a difference so we also noted the degree days on each month. For the past 3 months the degree days have been running about 23 degrees to 29 degrees Farenheit. So, our last reading was an actual huge savings. The item cost was $365.00 dollars installed. We figure based on the cost of the power factor correction device that it will pay for itself, in other words provide a return on investment of 10 months.
The Fixie Chick does endorse this product for several reasons. The first being that it saves electricity by using less in the home which means it helps provide for green living. The second reason is that it saves money. The use of electricity has gone down by 20% or so therefore the cost of electricity has also gone down that amount. And third, it qualifies for the Energy Saving Tax Credit. And fourth, the units are 100% made in the USA.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the power factor correction devices you must email Patrick@pmcecosupply.com

Have a great day.

Since becoming a distributor for our power factor correction devices, we have had great success in selling the units locally in the NY area.

We are currently expanding our sales to cover the upstate region of New York. We are focusing on our commercial sales across the upstate region due to the fact that our commercial customers see greater savings in their electric bills which saves on the consumption of electricity making upstate NY a greener place.

To explain this, a small home may use $50.00 of electricity. If the homeowner saves 20% of that it equates to a $10.00 savings. Now, a commercial application of a power factor correction device where a customer’s monthly electric bill is $5000.00 and that customer sees a 20% savings on that amount is $1000.00. That savings is staggering. We have actual proof of these types of savings and our customers are ecstatic!

I could not be more excited about providing the power factor devices to all our customers and having them experience a savings which they never new was available. To explain my background, I am always obsessing about taxes and utility bills because they do not change. In fact, the cost keep rising. I was so thrilled at the power factor correction device that I want to provide it to everyone.

These devices fit perfectly with our theme here at Healthy Homes of Rochester whereby they save money, save energy and help us live green.

Well the Christmas holiday is over and it is on to the hustle and bustle of going back to the mall or stores to return gifts which do not fit or are unwanted for whatever reason.
My green living tip for this week is an obvious one and very simple. It may just come as a reminder to most but hopefully it will serve as a useful tip.
Don’t drive out to one store, then go home and go out again. Just simply plan a route and get your chores done all at once by mapping the most efficient route to take in order to save fuel. This will help you save money too. Its just that simple.

Happy Holidays,
The Fixie Chick

How about this for a great idea: Folding Recycling Bags which are color coded for three different recyclables. Paper, glass and cans. I love using these when I have a party at my home or when I have a charity event or organize. The recycling bags are easy to store, easy to use and all around handy for a large group of people. These bags will make your life much easier when you do not have to sort through a bunch of garbage to get the recyclable items out.

The great features the recycling bags have are:
Velcro tabs keep bags in a row
Industrial-strength, waterproof plastic-coated bags
Uses color and graphic labels to keep recyclables separate
Set of 3 bags.
Paper (orange), cans (gray), or glass (blue)
To get a set of your own recycling bags see the link below.

Thank you for visiting the blog.

I wanted to write about Flash Memory Cards in this blog post because they have quickly become a way of life for us now.  I have several of these flash memory cards.  They store thousands of pictures of my family, friends and projcets around our home.  These flash memory cards are very small which means they take up almost no space at all.  In stead of printing out thousands of pictures, why not keep them stored on the flash memory cards.  They have become so affordable that you can just purchase a new one when the previous gets full of data.  They hold plenty of pictures and movies. 

This is a perfect way to help save our planet and save our trees by not using as much paper and film.  I have included a link below to one of the types of flash memory cards that I have and enjoy using.
