Watch out for pumpkin pulp!

Halloween is approaching and pumpkins are aplenty.  If you're going to make pumpkin pie be careful where you dispose of the pumpkin pulp.  The pulp and seeds don't break down like most foods - instead, the pulp and seeds harden and can clog your drain.  Don't flush them down the drain or garbage disposal! Russo Bros. & Co. suggests you carve your pumpkin on clear plastic wrap and throw it in the garbage when you are done.

Happy Halloween!

Save energy and be comfortable

Winter is about here and everyone is turning on their heating systems.  Here are a few tips to stay warm and still save energy:

• Set back your thermostat by a few degrees at night and when you are away during the day.  For each degree you lower your thermostat in winter you can save up to 5% on the heating portion of your energy bill.
• Heat rises!  Use ceiling fans on the reverse setting to force warm air near the ceiling back down into the room.
• If you tend to spend most of your time in one area of your home, lower the thermostat and use a space heater.
• The average home loses about 25% of heat through leaky windows, so seal around the windows with weatherstripping.
• Have your heating system inspected and tuned-up annually to keep your system running at optimal efficiency.  Russo Bros. & Co. provodes this service - call 1-800-MR-RUSSO to have a trained technician tune-up your system.  (You can also use our website to schedule service.)
