The Nest Learning Thermostat: Even Better Than It Sounds

The Nest Learning Thermostat: Even Better Than It Sounds
A Nest Learning Thermostat is one of the smartest energy-saving devices you can have in your home. It monitors and learns your behaviors to automatically adjust the home’s temperature to fit your schedule, tells you when you’re saving energy and sends you reports on power usage, calls your phone immediately if there’s a problem with your heating system – and can integrate with other smart devices in your home for a complete automation solution.

What Do I Need To Watch 3D Video At Home?
The immersive, thrilling – and sometimes terrifying – 3D video experience isn’t only available at the movie theater. 3D video in your home theater puts you right into the middle of the action without spending $15-$25 for a movie ticket, and it’s not anywhere near as expensive or as complicated as you’d think.

Dolby Atmos or DTS:X systems create 3D audio for a home theater, delivering the same immersive sound experience as some of Hollywood’s latest blockbusters – and it’s not very expensive to install.

How Can I Watch HD Movies & TV Shows On My Home Entertainment System?
If everyone you know is watching high-def TV shows and movies, but you’re not sure how to get high definition signals of your very own, it’s not hard. Once you have the HDTV, you just need a Blu-ray player and a streaming media player – and an Internet connection – and you’ll have more high-def TV and movies than you’d ever be able to find time to watch.

5 Reasons Why You Should Install a Central Vacuum Cleaner

5 Reasons Why You Should Install a Central Vacuum Cleaner
An excellent alternative to the portable option is the central vacuum cleaner.

The traditional portable vacuum cleaners come with many downsides. They are tedious to use since you have to haul them from one point to another. A lot of noise when in use. And they re-circulate collected dust and hot air into the air inside the house. This results in unhealthy allergens and bad odors lurking in the air.

What does the Super Service Award mean?

Angie's List Super Service Award 2015 winners have met strict eligibility requirements, which include an 'A' rating in overall grade, recent grade, and review period grade; the company must be in good standing with Angie's List, pass a background check and abide by Angie's List operational guidelines.

Service company ratings are updated daily on Angie's List. Companies are graded on an A through F scale in areas ranging from price to professionalism to punctuality

If a company has the Super Service Award logo on their company record, then they have won the Angie's List Super Service Award® for the year indicated. Each year Angie's List awards this honor to companies that have given outstanding service according to the members for the previous year. The most recent award given is for 2015.

In 2015, the criteria for the award included receiving a minimum number of reviews from our members, maintaining an A average on both the reviews for 2015 as well as on their overall reviews and not being in poor standing with the Better Business Bureau.

Less than 5% of the companies on Angie's List received the award in 2015. Please keep in mind that the award is based on the company's previous service and you should always check Angie's List before hiring because a company's rating can change.
