Go Green, Use Solar Power

The first word I uttered as a little tike wasn't "momma" or "dadda"... it was "free". I learned at a very young age that I could get almost anything I wanted and I didn't have to pay anything! Bottles, food, diaper changes, toys, trips around the house, all my needs & wants were met and they were absolutely free! I lived like a king.

Somewhere along the way though, the word free was stripped from my vocabulary and got lost in the chaos of the world. Now the word "free" shows up, acting all cool, but hiding something within. It seems like there's always a catch hidden in the fine print my ever-aging eyes seem to clumsily overlook. Free isn't the free I remember as a little rascal and I want it back.

Take electricity for example. Oh how wonderful it would be if electricity were free. We use so much electricity and our lives literally revolve around it, but it comes at a price. That electric bill inevitably arrives each month and we pay for all those lights we left on, movies we watched, meals we microwaved and all the AC our air conditioner pumped into our house. Unbeknownst to most of us however, is a great big fire ball over our heads that generates more than 10,000 times the amount of energy the entire world consumes annually. Besides dishing out some nasty burns by staying out in it too long, the sun has something to give us, and it is absolutely free, and that something is energy... lots of it.

Companies like Air Vent have learned how to tap in to this enormous amount of energy and make some serious use of it. They have developed power attic vents that help draw out the hot air in your attic, all done by a 24-volt DC motor that is powered completely by the sun. No wires to run, no increase in your electric bill. They understand, just as I did as a kid, that "free" still exists and we can get our hands on some pretty good deals if we just look.

If you're interested in power attic vents for your home, you like using free energy from the sun and you're searching for a greener life all around, put an Air Vent SolarCool Power Attic Vent on your house and start reaping the benefits.

Thanks Air Vent, free does still exist!

Consider it Your Dryer's Sidekick

What do Don Quixote, the Lone Ranger and Garfield all have in common? Well, besides being good old-fashioned, quality entertainment that I watched with my Dad growing up, there's a recurring, indistinguishable element in the three - they each had a sidekick. You can't read or watch them without Sancho, Tanto or Odie takin' a punch, saving the day or supplying their audience with a bit of dull-witted humor alongside their pal. This lasting friendship and camaraderie instills in our minds that by working together, almost anything is possible.

The last place you would look to find this inseparable bond would be throughout the appliances in your home (stay with me here, I know it's a bit of a stretch). I mean, how in the world could the same principle apply? In our minds, our fridge, toaster, furnace, they don't need anything else. They're designed & engineered to simply do a job around the house, making our lives easier. But, just as our trusty companions have proven to us through the years, everyone (or everything) could use a sidekick to help make the job easier, faster and bit more fun along the way.

Consider your dryer for a moment. It works its tail off all day, spinning around, heating up and exhausting the hot air outside just so we can have dry, clean clothes. Most of us wouldn't even consider that the dryer might be having a tough time exhausting the air to the outside, making the clothes take longer to dry and overworking the dryer's components. It happens more often than you think. Even if your dryer has to push the hot air a short 15 feet to get it outside, your dryer probably isn't operating as efficiently as it could. Not to mention, an overworked dryer means handing over your wallet to costly repairs and Tylenol for the headaches. Just like Garfield, your dryer needs a faithful amigo like Odie so it can shrug off some of the work and go to bed earlier.

Referred to as the "silent partner" to your dryer, Fantech's dryer boosting fans step in to the scene to give your overworked dryer that extra boost - a sidekick if you will. Installed inline with the dryer duct, a dryer booster gives the air, moisture & lint that extra kick to move things along and get the job done. As soon as the booster senses that the dryer has kicked on, it too joins in the fight, turns on and makes the whole process move along smoothly.

So while I go finish watching Man of La Mancha with my Dad, take a moment to browse ComfortGurus.com and learn more about your dryer's sidekick and essential companion, the Fantech dryer booster.

Also, below is a brochure that explains Fantech's dryer boosters in complete detail:
