  • Energy Efficiency Key in Choosing Washers and Dryers, Says Payless Power CEO
    Brandon advises considering long-term energy and water use when buying washers and dryers. "Front-loaders are more efficient," he notes. Key features include moisture sensors and eco-modes. High-capacity models suit large households, reducing loads. Buying sets is generally more efficient, but mixing can work if capacities match. Focus on water use and drying speed over features like steam cycles for true savings.
  • Summer Window Condensation: Causes and Solutions
    Brandon explains, “Condensation occurs when hot, humid air meets cooler window surfaces. Poor insulation and high indoor humidity worsen it.” To prevent this, manage indoor humidity with dehumidifiers, efficient AC, and ventilation. Windows last 15-30 years; replace them if seals fail, causing energy inefficiency. Consider energy-efficient replacements for long-term savings.
  • Optimal Bedroom Humidity: Expert Tips for Comfort and Efficiency
    Brandon suggests maintaining bedroom humidity between 40% and 50% for comfort and efficiency. He recommends the Honeywell HCM-350 humidifier and Frigidaire 22-Pint Dehumidifier. "Clean filters and sealed-up ducts can significantly enhance the control of humidity," he adds, emphasizing the importance of a well-maintained HVAC system.

  • “Reliability is central to the modern power grid, especially as we integrate more renewables and electrify transportation and heating. Much work has been done in generation and distribution, driven by smarter hardware, predictive software, and data analytics,” said Brandon Young, CEO at Payless Power, a Texas-based electricity group. “On the generation side, predictive maintenance technologies become game-changers. IoT [Internet of Things] sensors and AI are monitoring equipment like turbines and transformers in real time to pinpoint potential failures before they occur. That way, downtime is kept to a minimum, and power generation stays efficient.”
