Long Island Vinyl Siding Contractor Wins Award

May 15th, 2008 by Aaron O'Hanlon

Built Right Renovations, a Long Island siding contractor, was awarded a 2008 Award of Distinction for outstanding use of vinyl siding from the Vinyl Siding Institute, an organization that regulates the vinyl siding industry nationwide.

Built Right Renovations was recognized under the Residential Re-Siding category for their installation of vinyl siding and accessories throughout the Long Island area. Built Right Renovations’ owner, Jeff Geller, admits that all the work and attention to detail for their service was worth it. “I can’t think of a better way for our siding division than to receive this award. I am honored to have been recognized by VSI.”

The panel of judges for the award included many distinguished experts in the home building and remodeling industry such as syndicated home improvement writer and former remodeler, Jim Rooney and Scott Montjoy - a construction manager for Habitat for Humanity International.

All entries were required to use vinyl siding certified through the VSI Vinyl Siding Certification Program, which verifies through an independent inspection process that certified siding meets or exceeds ASTM D3679, the accepted industry standard for quality vinyl siding.

About Built Right Renovations – We are a remodeling firm located in Central Long Island. We have been recognized as one of “Americas best Remodelers” by Better Homes and Gardens magazine. We currently received the “Award of Excellence” by Alside Manufacturing Company (the pioneers of high quality exterior products), for demonstrating an exceptional level and expertise in the use of their building products. As impressive as we try to make those acknowledgements sound, we are just a small firm, that gets its pleasure out of installing one job at a time, improving the living conditions of our clients. I would like to offer our services to you.. For more information visit www.BuiltRightNY.com

How to Avoid 90% of All System Failures

May 13th, 2008 by Aaron O'Hanlon

Dirt. Five year olds love it, plants can’t live without it, and you’re breathing it in every day. Not just breathing it in – you’re paying to inhale the largest cause of your home’s dust and allergy problems.

You’re probably thinking that’s an exaggeration. But the simple truth is that you are paying to run your heating and cooling system, more and more as the weather heats up. And since dirt is the number one cause of system failure – 90% of all failures, in fact – chances are good that dirt is keeping your system from running at peak efficiency.

Before you invest in a family set of gas masks or prepare for a nomadic existence in the Sahara (hey, at least then you won’t be paying for the dirt), you might want to give your heating and cooling professional a call.

“Your system works hard,” says Noah of Star Quality Air Conditioning. “It’s constantly circulating and cooling the air that keeps your family comfortable. Like anything else that works, it gets dirty and has to be cleaned.”

There are a few questions to ask yourself before having your system cleaned:

  • How long has it been since your HVAC system was cleaned?
  • Are there pets in the home?
  • Do any family members experience burning in the eyes, nose, or throat while in the home?
  • Does your climate have high humidity?
  • Do any family members show symptoms of mild to severe allergies?
  • Noah told us “System failures caused by dirt, as well as expensive repairs, can be avoided with a little preventative maintenance. Most people don’t realize how much money they can save by making sure their system runs efficiently.”

    Star Quality Air Conditioning wants to show homeowners certain neglected maintenance items that can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs or system replacements.

    About Star Quality Air Conditioning, Inc.: Star Quality Air Conditioning is a full service, fully licensed and insured air conditioning and heating company dedicated to providing quality service in a timely manner. At Star Quality Air Conditioning, we guarantee quality and dependability. Whether you are interested in cleaner indoor air, a new air conditioning system, or you need service on your existing air conditioner; our comfort specialists are eagerly awaiting to help you with the sales, service, and installation of the air conditioning system that is ideal for your home or business For more information visit www.StarQualityAir.com
