We are officially in the dog days of summer.  It is almost too hot to even go outside anymore!  These higher temperatures mean your air conditioner is running longer and harder throughout the day.  With all that extra work, your filter is going to get clogged faster than normal.

Proper filter maintenance is crucial to your unit!  Filters are designed to pull particles out of the air while letting the air pass through easily.  As the filter fills up, the space for air to pass through is reduced, making your air conditioner work harder to suck air through the filter.  This extra work will reduce its lifecycle and it is much more wallet friendly to change an air filter once a month (more in summer and winter months when your unit runs almost constantly) than it is to replace your entire air conditioner!

If you are designing a new clean tile kitchen or have plans to remodel your existing kitchen, your project will go over a lot smoother if you have a great plan in place ahead of time. First, decide on an overall theme or style for your kitchen. Choose between a modern, contemporary look, a country style, or something traditional. This can help you coordinate things like furniture, colors, appliances, tile flooring, and marble countertops, since not everything natural goes together. If you are unfamiliar with these styles, or want to generate more ideas, peruse some design magazines to see some samples. If you are unsure of what works together and what does not, consult a professional interior designer that can give you added insight.
