Old Plumbing Health Menace
Obsolete plumbing in older homes poses a health risk and dissatisfaction. For homes 10 to 15 years old, readers should check drains, leaky faucets, defective flush valves, pipe freezing protections, refrigerator traps, additional shut-offs, water heating and softening equipment, pipe and fixture replacements, and consider extra bath or basement toilet/shower installations.
Curtains Cut Heat Loss in Winter Rooms

Lowering Night Temperature Cuts Fuel Bills
