FROM THE OWNER

The change in season is here with a vengeance. Of course, as I watch everything going on outside, I can’t help but think it isn’t just the weather but the world that has changed! We sure are living in interesting times, Twittering, texting (but not while driving, please) friending or unfriending folks on Facebook, getting LinkedIn or maybe spending time in MySpace. There are lots of ways to communicate and lots of things worth talking about.

Take health care, for example. Whatever the outcome of the legislation working it’s way through Congress, we at GFI have our own concerns about your family’s health starting with indoor air quality. Heating systems that get turned on after a long hibernation can be a breeding ground for contaminants including carbon monoxide. If you haven’t already done so, give us a call for a furnace clean and inspection. We want to help ensure that your family keeps breathing safely.

And with the state of the economy we’re no longer spending money we don’t have on things we don’t need. We’re thinking of the value of high quality products and superior service from people you can trust.

That’s what you get with GFI so we hope you’ll call us when you need us.

5 SAFETY TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM BURGLARY

• Use automatic timers. Set timers to turn on TV’s, lights and radios at varying times of the day and evening to give the impression that someone is home.
• Illuminate the front and back yard. Darkness is one of a burglar’s best friends. Light doorways with cost-effective, low voltage lighting to minimize dark spaces.
• Trim trees and shrubs. When overgrown, these areas serve as perfect hiding places for burglars and allow them to work undetected.
• Use window and door alarms. Burglars will typically leave when an alarm sounds.
• Don’t leave spare keys outdoors. Experience has taught burglars to look under door mats and in flower pots for spare keys.

JUST FOR FUN!

• An apple, potato and onion all taste the same when eaten with your nose plugged? They all taste sweet.
