  • Eco-Friendly Homes: Simple Steps to Save Money and the Planet
    WG advises starting with proper home insulation to prevent energy loss. He suggests low-cost upgrades like low-flow toilets and faucet aerators to reduce water use. "Stop the leaks, whether it’s energy or water," he emphasizes. These steps not only help the planet but also lower utility bills.
  • Master Bedroom Lighting: Expert Tips for a Relaxing Retreat
    WG suggests "layered lighting" for bedrooms, starting with dimmable, warm-toned overhead lights. Add bedside wall sconces or table lamps for tasks, and ambient lighting for a cozy atmosphere. Consider circadian rhythm lighting and smart bulbs for adaptable brightness. Alternatives to bedside lamps include wall-mounted lights and under-shelf LEDs. Choose ceiling lights that blend style and function, and aim for a 2700K color temperature.
  • Illuminate Your Entryway: Expert Tips for Stylish and Practical Lighting
    WG advises using tunable LEDs for adaptable lighting, combining ambient, accent, and task lighting for style and function. Enhance entryways with smart fixtures, reflective surfaces, and soft uplighting. Consider modular systems for future changes and integrate sound-absorbing materials for a complete sensory experience. Opt for warm tones (2700-3000K) to create an inviting atmosphere.

  • 'For basements that aren’t used frequently, portable space heaters are a great option,' recommends WG Hickman, owner of Tri-County Air Service. These compact heaters offer quick, on-demand warmth without the hassle of complicated installations. Infrared and oil-filled radiators, in particular, are simple to move and can be positioned exactly where you need that extra bit of heat.

    Hickman says that portable heaters are ideal for short-term warmth, perfect for when you're just spending a few hours in the basement. 'They allow you to heat specific areas without committing to a full heating system or costly HVAC installation,' he explains. But he stresses the importance of safety. 'Always position your heater away from flammable materials, especially in spaces like laundry or storage rooms.'

    While portable space heaters offer convenience, Hickman cautions that they aren't a permanent fix for larger or uninsulated basements. 'If your basement has persistent cold spots, it's worth exploring more permanent heating solutions for consistent comfort.'

  • WG Hickman, owner of Tri-County Air Service agrees. He says, ‘After experimenting with various popular insulating materials, I say the best material for insulating a garage door is NGX insulation produced by Owens Corning. NGX insulation boards with an R-value of 7.5 are the best choice, as a lower R-value might not be effective at keeping heat inside the garage, and boards with a higher R-value might be too heavy for the door's mechanisms.’

    Using these boards, insulating a garage door is a DIY project you can often tackle yourself.

    ‘The best way to insulate your garage door is to cut the insulation board according to the size of door panels, and please ensure that you measure every panel before making cuts as they often have different sizes,’ he warns. ‘Use a sharp blade and a T-square or straight edge for perfect-fit cuts, apply spray foam above and below each door panel to get a snug fit and prevent air leaks, and then secure the insulation cuts to the door panels.’

  • WG Hickman, owner of Tri-County Air Service recommends, 'cover[ing] the radiators with heavy damp towels. Damp towels will absorb the heat coming from radiators and release the moisture into the room, which can help feel cooler.'
