SAVE MONEY AND ENERGY WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating and cooling your home uses more energy and costs more money than any other system in your home—typically making up about 54% of your utility bill.
No matter what kind of heating and cooling system you have in your house, you can save money and increase your comfort by properly maintaining and upgrading your equipment using the whole-house approach. By combining proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with recommended insulation, air sealing, and thermostat settings, you can cut your energy use for heating and cooling—and reduce environmental emissions—from 20%-50%.
HEATING & COOLING TIPS:
• Set your programmable thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and as high as is comfortable in the summer, as well as when you’re sleeping or away from home.• Clean or replace filters on furnaces and air conditioners once a month or as recommended. • Keep bushes, leaves and other debris away from the outside unit of your air conditioner, so that it can draw air into the system.• Clean supply air registers, as needed; make sure they’re not blocked by furniture, carpeting, drapes, etc.• Turn off kitchen, bath, and other exhaust fans within 20 minutes after you are done cooking or bathing; when replacing exhaust fans, consider installing high-efficiency, low-noise models.• During winter, keep the draperies and shades on your south-facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.• During summer, keep the window coverings closed during the day to block the sun’s heat.• Have your heating and cooling systems serviced annually by a reputable air conditioning company.
MAINTENANCE FACTS & TIPS:
• Without regular maintenance an air conditioner loses about 5% of its original efficiency for each year of operation. But you can recover most of that lost efficiency through regular service. • Studies show that with regular tune-ups a unit will maintain up to 95% of its original efficiency. The cost of an annual tune-up is recovered very quickly in savings on your monthly electric bill and reduced repair costs. •The service check (tune-up) should include cleaning the condensing unit coils, checking the amp draw of the compressor, checking the fan motors, checking that belts are well adjusted, and checking the system operating pressures and temperatures against the manufacturer’s specifications.• One of the most important items to check is the refrigerant level (also known as Freon). The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) recommends that coolant levels be checked every year. • According to a Texas A&M study, a 23% refrigerant undercharge could result in a 52% efficiency loss!
All equipment, even the most reliable, needs routine maintenance. Just like a car, your air conditioning and heating equipment requires regular tune-ups to run properly. But unlike our vehicles, that we get in and drive often or that we see on our street every day, our heating and cooling equipment is often “out of sight, out of mind.” We often don’t think about it until it stops working. Complicated equipment, like today’s air conditioners, benefit in many ways from annual service. They recover much of their lost efficiency, they are less likely to suffer a major break down, they have a longer life span, they increase your comfort, and they operate for less money.

Team Texas
www.teamtexasconstruction.comATTENTION HOMEOWNERS
Strong wind gusts and large hail from the storms that passed through the area this year damaged most roofs, fences, car ports, and patio covers. Storm damages to your home and personal property are covered by your property insurance policy. Many homeowners have had the cost of these repairs assessed and paid for by their homeowner’s insurance company.
Most wind and hail damaged roofs do not leak immediately, nor can the hail damage be seen from the ground. If you have sustained hail or wind damage to your roof, fence, car port, patio cover, or if you have water stains on your ceiling from a roof leak, we offer a free storm damage inspection to determine if your insurance company needs to be notified before any repairs are made.
We are the experts with over 25 years roofing and storm damage insurance claims experience. We can assist you with your claim and meet with the insurance adjuster to ensure that all damages are assessed and you are fully compensated.
With most insurance claims we can install a new roof with little to no money out of pocket. We were here before the spring storms helping homeowners and we will be here to take care of any problems that may occur after your repairs are made. Please use caution when selecting a contractor for storm damage repairs. Do not assume they are local just because they are working in your neighborhood or knocking on the door soliciting your business. Check with the local Better Business Bureau to find a reputable company in your area before making your decision.
Thank you for considering Team Texas Construction, LLC for your storm damage repairs. We sincerely look forward to the privilege of earning your business now and in the future when our services are needed.

MARCH IS SAVE YOUR VISION MONTH2 Good Eye Safety Habits at Home
Save Your Vision Month is proclaimed each year to focus the public’s attention on the vital role that vision plays in daily living and the importance of professional eye care to preserve good vision.In honor of Save Your Vision Month, the American Optometric Association (AOA) reminds Americans that caring for your eyes includes preventing eye injuries at home, not just on the job.The Eye-Q® survey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans do not wear safety glasses or goggles when working on home improvement
projects and about 45% of all eye injuries occur in the home (according to the 5th Annual Eye Injury Snapshot conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma). These injuries were caused by activities such as home repairs, cleaning, yard work and cooking. Eyes can also be damaged by sun exposure as well as by chemicals, dust and projectiles.
Building good eye safety habits are clearly crucial in reducing the number of eye injuries at home. The key word is habits. Where should a person start with establishing good eye safety habits?• The easiest habit is wearing protective eyewear. In fact, doing so will prevent a
whopping 90% of eye injuries. Among all reported eye injuries, more than 78% of the people involved were not wearing protective eyewear. Obviously, the first habit to establish is to purchase and wear protective eyewear.
• The second essential habit for eye safety is prevention. The National Society to Prevent Blindness estimates that 90% of all eye injuries can be prevented. One of the best ways to prevent eye injury is by following manufacturer’s directions and warnings. Another way is to use common sense. For example, pick up rocks and sticks before mowing, don’t peer into a bag of hot microwave popcorn, and keep children from running with sharp objects.
Eye safety – whether at home or in the work place – is proven to prevent vision loss. While it’s important to practice good eye health habits, the best line of defense is to visit a doctor of optometry on a regular basis for comprehensive eye exams to help ensure healthy vision.
Ask Dr. Fain and Dr. Hall about protecting your vision at your next visit.Call 972-279-20/20 or visit us at opticalgallery.net to schedule today!

Taxpayers should only pay the IRS what they owe. For that to happen, take every tax deduction, credit or other income adjustment you can.
Additional Charitable Gifts You can’t deduct the value of your time spent volunteering, but if you buy supplies for a group, the cost of that material is deductible. Similarly, if you wear a uniform in doing your good deeds, for example as a hospital volunteer or youth group leader, the costs of that apparel and any cleaning bills also can be counted as charitable donations. And remember your mileage serving as a volunteer.Job Hunting Costs associated with looking for a new job in your present occupation, including resume preparation fees, phone calls, employment agency fees and mileage, are deductible as miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to 2% of you AGI.Mortgage Refi Points If you refinance your home loan, you may be charged points which are deductible as long as you use the mortgage proceeds to improve your principal residence. The Retirement Tax Savings Contribution Credit was created to give moderate- and low-income taxpayers an incentive to save. A contribution to a retirement account can get a tax credit up to 50 percent of the first $2000 contribution to the qualified plan. Energy-efficient home improvements may still generate a tax credit equal to 10 percent of the cost of qualified energy-efficient property or improvements.Educational expenses can provide one of several tax-saving options for individuals furthering their education. A tuition and fees deduction (up to $4000) is available to offset taxable income. The Lifetime Learning Credit (up to $2000) and the American Opportunity Tax Credit (up to $2500) offer reductions of taxes to either the student or the parent.
Don’t overlook ways to reduce your tax bill. We will assist you in paying only the taxes you owe. Give us a call; you will be glad you did.
