Great products create good companies
We read a pretty good snip-it about the state of the union for Lennox
Intl. Thought our investor friends out there might want a good tip...

Lennox icomfort
You know by now that we are big fans of the Lennox icomfort. Well we
love to have backup. Here is a great write up from The Clay
Times-Journal. Including this fantastic point:
Heating and cooling a home accounts for 50 percent or more of a home's energy bill, so it's important to incorporate the latest technology to make it as easy as possible to be as efficient as possible.
Here is the full article. We couldn't agree more.

Seven Things to Look for in a Home Comfort System
1. Reliability
Chances are, your heating and cooling system is the most expensive equipment you will purchase for your home. That’s why it’s important to choose proven products from a reputable manufacturer.
2. Efficiency
A new ENERGY STAR®-labeled system, when properly sized and installed, can save you up to 20% on your annual heating and cooling costs.* Plus, it may qualify you for utility rebates** and tax credits.***
3. Quiet operation
The sound of a standard furnace can be as loud as 100 decibels, comparable to the sound of a kitchen garbage disposal! Air conditioners can produce sounds as high as 80 decibels. Look for technologies and features that help keep operating sound at a comfortable level.
4. Consistent temperatures
With a typical furnace or single-speed air conditioner, indoor temperature can vary as much as seven degrees from the thermostat setting. Variable speed and/or two-stage systems give you the assurance of precise temperature control.
5. Balanced humidity
To maintain proper moisture levels in your home, choose a thermostat that controls both temperature and humidity. You might also consider a variable speed and/or two-stage comfort system and dehumidifier.
6. Proper Airflow
A typical furnace motor runs at one speed and circulates a constant volume of air, so it responds to changing comfort demands by repeatedly cycling on and off. This frequent cycling increases air stratification and stagnation. For optimal air circulation, choose a variable speed model.
7. Healthy air
One of the best ways to combat indoor pollution is to attach an air cleaner to your furnace or air handler. That way, you can have peace of mind knowing your system is working to capture small contaminants in every room of your home.

***Tax credits are available for certain high-efficiency cooling and heating equipment under the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. For details, go to www.irs.gov.

Saved money... Now what?
Many of you have chosen to go with the CFL (Compact Fluorescent) bulbs for the energy efficiency savings. The day will arise that these bulbs burn out. Don't just toss them. The mercury levels in these bulbs is high enough to warrant proper disposal.The Herald out of Everett Washington had a nice right up we thought of sharing with you: http://tinyurl.com/8mf24z4
Short answer is that Home Depot provides the recycling service... But the article may be on worth reading.
