Winters Home Services Offers Tips to Prepare for Cold Weather and Conserve Energy

October 1, 2014 //  by admin

DSC06078 small

Winters Home Services, an award-winning provider of plumbing, heating, cooling, and air quality services based in Cambridge, MA, offers homeowners tips to prepare for the cold weather and conserve energy.

With 20 years in the business and 60,000 happy customers, Winters owner Tim Flynn understands New England weather and the critical heating and home issues that can arise. Flynn offers these tips:

Inspect vents and chimneys to make sure they are unobstructed. Clear leaves and vines; prune shrubs and plants so they do not block vents. Anything around a vent or chimney needs to be removed as it can block the exhaust, which can cause carbon monoxide to back up into the home as well as trigger heating system shut-off or malfunction.

Install, check and/or replace smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Both fire and carbon monoxide can be deadly and silent. Manufacturers recommend replacing detectors every five years.

Have a professional heating and cooling inspection and tune-up. Homeowners expect their heating and cooling systems to work 24/7, yet they never have them inspected. An out of tune heating or cooling system works harder, wastes energy and actually costs more to run. Annual inspection and maintenance of home systems is imperative. Filters are typically changed annually, but Winters recommends changing filters a minimum of three times per year to ensure the systems are working at their optimum.

Monitor energy consumption and control usage through new technology. Through Winters CarePlus Home Monitoring program, homeowners are able to measure their energy usage and reduce it by easily controlling heating and cooling remotely via a Smart device.

A Smarter, Safer Home

Not only does it help conserve energy, Winters’ CarePlus Home Monitoring program provides safety and peace of mind by enabling homeowners to monitor and access their home’s most important systems – from water sensors and home energy meters, carbon monoxide detectors and thermostats to lights, door locks and more- through any Smart device.

According to Flynn, “Essentially, CarePlus provides home automation and monitoring to ensure the optimal operation and safety of home systems and the maximum in energy savings, backed by ‘first-in-line’ service and accountability that only a local company can provide. At the first sign of trouble, such as a leak or significant temperature change, a damage prevention alert is sent to the homeowner’s Smart device. The homeowner can then resolve the issue through their Smart device or call in the cavalry – the Winters team – to fix the problem before it becomes a catastrophe.”

Three different CarePlus plans are available. All plans include at least two annual visits from Winters, where 137 heating, cooling and plumbing items are checked, along with check-ups on all monitoring devices without additional costs.

To schedule heating and cooling home maintenance or CarePlus consultation, contact Winters at 866-482-7586.

For a limited time, new CarePlus Home Monitoring customers will receive a free Mass Save Thermostat (with redemption), as well as discount off monitoring devices. Winters provides standard next-day installation. To learn more, visit www.wintershomeservices.com.

Dr. Richard Wolfert, DMD has always considered education to be a primary foMary Smith Report.compressed cus of exams for his dental patients. So while patients do not have to study for exams with the South Weymouth dentist, new patients will receive a “report card” following an initial visit as part of Wolfert’s new patient service.

The five-to-seven page report provides a record of “dental fitness” record, complete with photos. The dental fitness record features a periodontal fitness category, which includes a plaque control index and a periodontal bleeding index.

In addition to new patients, Dr. Wolfert will produce a report for existing patients every five years unless requested for an earlier time period.

“This is a great benefit for new patient but it also provides existing patients with a useful tool, particularly those near retirement age,” said Wolfert. “Having this type of documentation can help people approaching retirement plan their dental work while they still have benefits from their employer.”

In addition to producing the dental fitness report, The Toothboss provides a number of other examinations for new patients. Those include a more complete charting of the gum pockets that surround the teeth, a review of the patient’s health history, a blood pressure screening, and other procedures to complement the normal services provided by The Toothboss’ hygienists.

The Puiia hallmark is manufacturing and selling their own bagels, which set them apart from other cafés. The popularity of their bagels inspired the Puiias to partner with independent grocers.  The bagels are delivered to grocers fully-baked so no additional labor is required of the bakery department.

Between Rounds Bagels at Independent Grocers

For more than 20 years, Highland Park Markets, which has stores in Suffield, Farmington, Manchester, Coventry and Glastonbury, has been carrying Between Rounds bagels as their privately labeled brand, but switched to the Between Rounds brand name two years ago.  West Side Marketplace in Rocky Hill has been carrying the signature brand for four years. Geissler’s Supermarkets, which are located in Agawam, Bloomfield, East Windsor, Granby, Somers and South Windsor, have been carrying them for almost a year. Lyman Orchards Apple Barrel Market in Middlefield and the family-owned Gardiner’s Market in South Glastonbury have just started carrying Between Rounds products.

According to Tom Gardiner of Gardiner’s Market, “Between Rounds is local and very well known. Their products are high quality, consistent and absolutely delicious. Our customers are happy because they know exactly what they are getting with the Between Rounds brand.”
