Five easy tips to reduce air conditioning costs

(NC) The hot weather has finally arrived, and while many of us enjoy basking in the sun, when we're inside our homes we prefer the cool comfort of air conditioning. That said, it's important to keep a close watch on how you use it, because keeping the air conditioning on full blast could lead to hefty energy bills.

Here are five summer tips to help you stay comfortable, reduce energy use and save money from Dave Walton, the director of home ideas for Enercare Home Services.

• Use ceiling fans to circulate cool air. Fan blades should operate in a counter-clockwise direction to move the air downwards and maximize air circulation so your air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard.

• Don't lose money cooling rooms that aren't in use. Close vents and shut the doors in unused rooms. Also make sure to clear the vents you are using from dust and obstructions.

• Close curtains or blinds on windows that receive direct sunlight to keep heat out of the house.

• Landscaping around your air conditioner unit can help block the sun so it works more efficiently, but make sure trees, plants and hedges are planted at least three feet from the unit to avoid restricting airflow.

• Have a qualified professional perform maintenance on your air conditioner before the hot weather arrives to ensure it is operating efficiently and, be sure to wash or replace furnace filters every three months for maximum efficiency.

More tips for reducing your air conditioning costs can be found at www.enercare.ca.

Is your home burglar proof for Back to school?

www.realtorpankajpatel.com

(NC)Burglary can leave families feeling vulnerable and violated. According to security experts, by far, the most common threat to our home while we are back at work and school is burglary.

Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Customer Care for ADT Canada says the first step in burglary prevention is gaining an understanding of who commits these crimes and why.

“The majority of home and apartment burglaries occur during the daytime when most people are away at work or at school,” De Luca explained. “Burglaries also occur at night when there are obvious signs that residents are away.”

Most home burglars are young males looking for things that are small, expensive, and can easily be converted to cash. Items like cash, jewelry, guns, watches, laptop computers, and other small electronic devices are high on the list. Quick cash is needed for living expenses and drugs. Although home burglaries may seem random in occurrence, they actually involve a careful selection process.

“This selection process is simple,” De Luca added. “They choose an unoccupied home with the easiest access, the greatest amount of cover, and with the best escape routes.”

What follows is a list of suggestions from ADT, providing Protectron's line of products, to minimize your risk by making your home unattractive to potential burglars.

• The first step, according to De Luca, is to “harden the target” or make your home more difficult to enter. “Remember burglars will simply bypass your home if it requires too much effort or requires more skill and tools than they possess,” he says. Most burglars enter via the front, back, or garage doors. Burglars know to look inside your car for keys and other valuables so keep it locked, even inside your garage. Use high quality Grade-1 or Grade-2 locks on exterior doors to resist twisting, prying, and lock-picking attempts.

• When on a long-term business trip, leave a car in your driveway or arrange for a neighbor to keep a car there and move it around from time to time. Have someone mow your lawn, rake leaves, or shovel snow and pick up your mail while you're away.

• Home security systems play a crucial role in a home security plan and are very effective, if used properly, especially when monitored 24-7 by ULC-listed monitoring centres. De Luca cautions that home security systems need to be properly installed and maintained to be most effective. He recommends your home security system include a loud inside alarm, detectors at all exterior doors, and motion sensors in the master bedroom and main living areas.

• For ultimate control and peace of mind while you're at work, he recommends you look into the new fully interactive wireless security systems where you can arm and disarm your alarm, lock or unlock your front door, control lights and your home's thermostat at the touch of your smartphone. You can even include interior and exterior cameras with interactive surveillance that enables parents to receive alerts to view the comings and goings of their children from school or cleaning staff in video or image format on their work computer or smartphone.

AQUAVISTA

Community Master plan

Located on Toronto’s inner harbour alongside the water’s edge, AQUAVISTA is the second phase of the Bayside Toronto community, a fully integrated mixed-use waterfront neighbourhood where people will come to live, work, learn and play.

This vibrant LEED® Gold neighbourhood, led by master developer Hines has been purposefully created in small-scale, people-friendly elements with short streets for a sense of intimacy and community. Buildings will be oriented to the lake with a focus on sunlight and views. Civic uses will include Aitken Place Park, a library, educational facilities, day-care, community services and a grand continuous water’s edge boardwalk and tree lined promenade.

Waterfront

Waterfront revitalization destined to make AQUAVISTA the prime water’s edge address

OVERVIEW

Live At The Water’s Edge

Overlooking Lush Parkland And Blue Vistas

Experience the best of both worlds from an east-facing suite in Aquavista at Bayside. Live alongside the gorgeous blue vistas of Lake Ontario, while overlooking Bayside’s lush central Aitken Place Park. Stellar views, sumptuous suite finishes and indulgent building amenities are what make Aquavista Toronto’s most desirable new waterfront address.

Eat, Play, Love

There’s so much to love about this idyllic location. Walk to Sherbourne Common’s art-infused playground, Aitken Place Park’s green spaces, Sugar Beach, Harbourfront’s myriad cultural offerings and the bustling retail, restaurants and shops along Merchants’ Wharf and the Via Velo.

Suite Features

Details No Less Than Divine

Each 1, 2 and 3 bedroom Aquavista residence is beautifully finished with distinctively modern styling and premium features and finishes. From 9′ and 10′ ceiling heights to quality engineered plank laminate floors throughout and expansive window walls that fill the suites with natural light and offer spectacular views of the lake, city, park and beyond.

On The Menu: Gourmet Kitchens

Open concept gourmet kitchens flow seamlessly into the adjacent dining space and feature large granite or quartz work surfaces and sleek, premium built-in European appliances and contemporary linear cabinetry.

Downtime Done Right

European-inspired bathrooms and master ensuites take their cue from the spa, with gorgeous quartz countertops, 5′ soaker tubs, frameless glass showers and custom designed vanities.

Details, Details

It’s the little details that make the biggest difference. Which is why all suites at AQUAVISTA are finished with smooth white ceilings, 7” baseboards, and frameless mirrored and frosted glass sliding closet doors.

Connectivity Is King

What does it mean to live in the community offering Canada’s fastest internet speeds? It means the ability to easily handle bandwidth-intensive applications like HD video, gaming, large media files and high-resolution teleconferencing. This new wireless network will also link to an innovative community web portal, where residences and businesses can connect. Beanfield Metroconnect makes it all possible; living at Bayside Toronto puts you in one of the seven most sophisticated “intelligent community” enterprises in the world.

Neighbourhood

Aquavista: Bayside Toronto’s Next Luxe Condo Residence

Living by the water’s edge overlooking gorgeous views of the lake has huge drawing power. But pair magnificent vistas with exceptional residences and a wide array of vibrant neighbourhood offerings, and an address becomes that much more exceptional. This is AQUAVISTA, Tridel Hines’ second condominium residence located in the Bayside Toronto community– a fully integrated, mixed-use waterfront neighbourhood where people will come to live, work, learn and play year round.

Located on a 13 acre site right along the water’s edge between Lower Sherbourne and Parliament Streets, this $1.1 billion master planned Bayside Toronto community will contain more than 2,000,000 square feet of residential, office, retail and cultural space, creating a bustling neighbourhood unlike anything Toronto has ever seen before.

Street Meets

Bayside Toronto will feature small-scale, people friendly elements for a sense of intimacy and community.

Short streets will encourage foot traffic; the community’s main waterfront street will be pedestrian, transit and cyclist-friendly. Come holidays, the main street will be closed to cars, allowing for a wider promenade. Bustling retail, restaurants and pubs will line Merchants’ Wharf, the Via Velo (which intersects AQUALINA) and the water’s edge, making the area a vibrant destination all year round.

Civic Places & Spaces

Following the “if you build it, they will come” philosophy, Bayside Toronto was designed to accommodate a variety of civic offerings to be enjoyed by residents, workers, commuters and leisure-seeking Torontonians alike. Sherbourne Common’s art-infused playground, Aitken Place Park’s green spaces and the ever-popular Sugar Beach all provide places to gather and relax. A grand promenade and tree-lined boardwalk will run 1 km along the water’s edge, offering vibrant retail on the north side, and water views to the south. And a library, educational facilities and daycare and community service facilities are also in the works.

Business Matters

The easily accessible Toronto waterfront area has already attracted several high profile businesses; Corus Entertainment moved its headquarters to the water’s edge, and George Brown has opened its Centre for Health Sciences campus just to the East. Bayside Toronto’s future plans include Queens Quay Place I and II – 9 storey office buildings able to provide an estimated 8000 jobs.

A Highly Intelligent Community

Home to Canada’s first open-access, ultra-high-speed broadband community network, Toronto’s new waterfront communities will be among the most connected in the world. Supported by state-of-the-art technological infrastructure, residents and businesses with have access to internet speeds up to 100 times faster than those generally available.

Artists In Residence

Adding to AQUAVISTA’S cachet will be its unique designation as an Artscape hub. 80 rental live/work apartments with their own distinctive entrance, elevators and beautifully landscaped rooftop amenity space have been thoughtfully designed for residency by artists and creative practitioners. This will advance and infuse the Bayside Toronto community with a distinctive air of art, culture and creativity.

Leading with LEED®

Bayside Toronto is a vital part of Waterfront Toronto’s LEED® Gold Neighbourhood (Stage 1) and as such, AQUALINA and AQUAVISTA, both highly energy efficient and environmentally focused condominiums, will pursue LEED® Platinum Certification – the highest rating possible. Homeowners will benefit from less energy use, superior comfort and lower energy costs.
