Do you ever wonder if you heard your front door or garage open and then begin to panic that someone is in the house? Or, maybe you’re the parent of young children and worry that they may have slipped out of the house unsupervised. With an entry alert installed at your front door, back door or garage, you can be notified each time someone enters or exits the house.

Use Entry Alert to Greet Visitors or Warn of Intruders

A wireless entry alert has a small transmitter that mounts to any door and a portable receiver that plugs into any electrical outlet. When the door is opened, a signal is sent to the receiver and the person’s arrival (or departure) is announced by a musical tune or chime to greet visitors. Seniors living alone (especially those with hearing impairments) will appreciate getting these notifications when visitors have come or gone.

You can also use your entry alert as an alarm to warn against intruders. Instead of hearing a tune or chime when the door opens, choose the “alarm” mode on the transmitter and it will sound an alarm alert when activated.

Keep Children Safe Using an Entry Alert

It’s nearly impossible to watch little ones every single minute. With an entry alert installed at the entrances to your home, you’ll be notified if your children open the door to go explore the great outdoors.

Use at the Shop or Office

Entry alerts are also good for business owners who want to know when customers or clients arrive or leave the shop or office. Choose an upbeat tune to welcome customers and clients. Your entry alert can do double-duty as a security device — potential intruders or thieves will be deterred when they hear the music or chime and realize that shop owner has been notified of their entrance.

Garage Alert Signals Opening and Closing

If you live in a home with an attached garage, you’ll want to know when someone enters the house through the garage, especially if it’s located at the far end of the house and out of earshot. A wireless garage alert lets you know when your garage door is opened or closed. It also gives a “door status” update so you know at a glance if someone forgot to close the garage. A garage alert operates much like an entry alert and uses a sensor/transmitter to send a signal to the remote receiver which chimes and flashes when the garage door opens.

And if your home or business has remote places like the basement, garage or upper level where you can’t normally hear the doorbell ringing, consider getting a wireless doorbell extender that connects to your existing traditional hard wired doorbell and extends where you can hear your doorbell from. It even lets you distinguish between front and back doors by adding another transmitter and is a great addition to an entry alert and garage alert.

There’s an extensive range of carpet cleaning machines available on the market today, and choosing the right type for your office building is all about knowing what the different types are along with their cleaning capabilities, and then choosing the type that’s best suited to your office cleaning needs. Here’s a list of carpet cleaners that can improve the overall cleanliness and appearance of your facility and that have proved to be some of the best solutions for office building cleaning:
• Low-flow carpet cleaners extract embedded dirt, dust and grime from carpeted floors to leave them spotless, and also use low moisture to accelerate drying times of those carpets. An example of a low-flow carpet cleaner is encapsulation carpet cleaning machines. They use a special cleaning solution along with powerful agitation to remove impurities from carpets. The fact that they use very little moisture also makes them water efficient, which means less money being spent on water usage and wastewater disposal.

Other types of carpet cleaning machines that are well-suited for office cleaning tasks are truck mounts and portable carpet cleaning machines. Both are extremely powerful and can effectively remove stubborn greasy and muddy stains from carpet, however, the difference between the two is that while truck mounts are made to handle large expansive spaces, portable carpet cleaners clean small to medium sized areas. Also, portable carpet cleaning machines offer a much higher level of portability and have the advantage of easy movement and transport.
• Apart from dirt and dust, there’s also significant amounts of bacteria and dirt that thrive in office building carpets. Carpet extractors are able to eliminate these contaminants through their use of powerful steam that deep cleans carpeting. They have a compact design that’s perfect for small areas and those hard-to-reach narrow and tight spaces such as stairs and upholstery. What’s more, carpet extractors simultaneously clean and dry carpet.
Essentially, the most effective and most commonly used types of carpet cleaning machines for office building cleaning are encapsulation carpet cleaning machines, truck mounts, portable carpet cleaners and carpet extractors. Once you’ve understood the capabilities of each of those carpet cleaners, select the one that’s best suited to your unique cleaning needs

Carpet Cleaning in Fort McMurray

Home Pros Group started in Fort McMurray but has expanded to Edmonton in the past year and that means that we have to travel Hiway 63 virtually every week, my wife worries everytime I start my drive to or from Edmonton. Home Pros Group also employs people that have to travel this dangerous stretch of highway everyweek and we fear for their safety as well.

In the past five years, 46 people have died on Highway 63, which run from north of Edmonton to Fort McMurray and continues up past the sites of massive oil-sands mines. The late April accident has crystallized a movement in northern Alberta to have the highway’s lengthy two-lane stretches twinned, and some have called on industry to help.

But companies operating north of Fort McMurray have already begun sketching a plan to use industry dollars to upgrade the road. The section of Highway 63 north of Fort McMurray connects workers with many of the largest oil-sands sites. It often has major traffic jams, and has produced serious accidents. It carries roughly four times as many vehicles a day as the road south of Fort McMurray.

But only the first 17 kilometres have been twinned, and the remainder is a lesser priority for a government focused on the southern route, where some sections have seen a near tripling in daily vehicle numbers in the past decade.

The Oil Sands Developers Group has begun to put pressure on the Provincial and Federal Governments to complete the twining of Hiway 63 and Home Pros Group fully supports their efforts.

Clothes dryers can cause house fires if not properly maintained with regular dryer vent cleaning.

But maintaining and cleaning them and the attached vent ductwork can help prevent a tragedy. Home Pros Group trained technicians use a viper system using high pressure air with a whip end to clean the ducting attched to your dryer to clean out any build up of lint in the system. This service should be performed every year.

Following the below listed guidelines will  not only promote the longevity of the dryer, but it will also lessen the  chance for a fire.

• Clean the lint filter before or after each use to allow  proper airflow
• Never use the dryer without the lint filter in place
• Check the outside vent and remove any obstructions. There are special brushes to buy that will reach into the area beneath the lint  screen and vent pipe
• Keep combustibles away from the dryer area
• Make sure it’s plugged into an appropriate outlet  designed for your appliance
• Replace plastic and thin foil accordion-type vent ducting  with rigid or semi-rigid metal ductwork. Plastic and thin foil ducting can  more easily trap lint, which reduces airflow and can be a fire hazard
• Don’t leave home with the dryer operating.
• Don’t overload the dryer as it causes stress  on the appliance and lowers the ability to dry efficiently.
• Review  the owner’s manual for proper safety measures
• If some items have had volatile chemicals on them such as gasoline, motor oil, cooking oils or  other types of combustible liquids, please remove them soon after the drying cycle ends. Avoid stacking them together until  the items have cooled to room temperature. If chemicals still remain in  the items, they could self-ignite if not allowed to cool properly.
• Something to consider: Get a professional to service the dryer at least  once a year

Please check to see if your smoke  alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly. Also consider having a Lint Alert System installed into your dryer venting system that will let you know if the venting is becoming clogged.

If you are a hotel or motel owner, you may be wondering how to go about keeping your carpets clean. Any good hotel or motel owner knows that guests expect to stay in a very clean hotel. If a guest believes that the inn or hotel is not clean, he most likely will not stay in it or will not return. Either scenario is bad for your business. Carpet cleaning in a hotel or motel is difficult to do and will have to be done daily. Your employees will have to understand how important it is to vacuum every part of the carpeted areas even if they appear clean. Here are a few easy carpet cleaning tips to follow.
Most hotels and motels offer daily and weekly room cleaning. Guests can decline the daily cleanings, but are usually forced to allow a housekeeping staff member into their room at some point during their stay. This can present a problem because you will want to clean carpets in rooms on a daily basis in order ensure that the carpets stay in good condition. If a guest will not allow someone to clean the room until they leave, you will have to conduct a thorough carpet cleaning service after the guest leaves.
To save money, you will want to have your own vacuums and steam cleaners in the hotel. Carpet cleaners London can help you maintain your carpets so that you do not have to replace them as often. There are cleaning solutions that you will want to use so that you can deodorize the carpets in your hotel. Hotel carpets inevitably pick up a lot of odours. You should purchase your vacuum cleaners from a commercial janitorial supply company so that they last and are very durable. You want the suction stay powerful for at least several years. Make sure that vacuum cleaners have long cords and that you can easily add extension cords to them.
The front lobby of your hotel or motel provides the first impression to your guests. The carpet in the front lobby should be cleaned twice per day. You should require your employees to vacuum this area once in the morning and again at night. This is the area that will get the most amount of dirt. You will have to shampoo this carpet at least once per week if not more. You should shampoo this carpet when there is the least amount of traffic such as in the early morning hours. Carpet cleaning in hotels requires daily diligence.

Hiring a housekeeper can be a nightmare for many homeowners. What about you? There are some challenges to break through in the process. Some housekeepers, even with good intentions, cannot please their customers because they simply do not clean well. Others are just in it for the money, and do not care about doing an excellent job. There are still others who are too expensive, unreliable, and sadly, some are dishonest.  No matter what your problem may be, here are 5 tips to choosing a housekeeping service that will get the job done, and leave you with peace of mind.
1. Always ask for and check references. When you ask a person to do a bid, ask them if they have references. If they him and haw about it, you may not want to hire them. Also, check those references, just as an employer would for someone wanting a job with their company.
2. Determine if you want a good Price or better value. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. It’s OK to pay less, but is your house really getting CLEAN…they way YOU want? If the person is willing to do it your way, and their references check out, they may likely be worth the extra money.
3. Be open to hire married couples who have experience. They work well together, have good relationships with their customers, check each other’s work which is a good combination for the best value for your money.
4. Be reasonable. Ask yourself, how much would YOU charge someone if you had to clean their home, including toilets, trash and other menial cleaning tasks? Don’t insult the prospective housekeeper(s) if you don’t agree with their price. Cleaning is hard work. It is also a LUXURY for those who can afford it.
5. Sign an agreement. Even if your cleaning is just basic, have something in writing including the tasks to do and the price. This will prevent confusion in the long run. Most business persons are reasonable, so if you don’t agree with something, tell them about it.
In the next issue, you will learn ways to KEEP your service around and maintain the quality YOU want.

Do you know what’s going on in your home when you’re away at work? Do you have a reliable home security system that can relieve you of your worries and concerns when someone is breaking into your home when you’re away? If you already have a home security system in place, how reliable and steadfast is it? Has anyone ever broken into your home even with your current home security system in place? Do you know that you can now install a home security system that utilizes the Internet so that the home security system can actually alert you of unusual activities at home?

That’s how far the home security system technology has advanced. If you’re still having one of those old home security systems that blares a siren whenever there’s an intruder, then you’re not doing the best you can to protect your home. How many times have you heard one of those sirens cut through the silence of the night and ignored it because the siren is turned off about a minute later? Intruders who break into homes know how to turn off the old types of home security systems and they can usually break through any of those home security systems easily.

With the advancement of technology, home security systems have developed into more than just an electronic alarm system that detects opened windows or doors. Conventional home security systems have sensors built into the home security units that detect interruption in the flow of electricity. Whenever the home security system detects the interruptions, it will either let out a deafening siren or activate strobe lights to attract attention.

But have you ever thought about this – what if others choose to ignore the sirens and lights?

What you really need is a home security system that will silently alert guards and you of the activities in the home. Combining the advancement of the technology used to create and develop home security systems together with the Internet, the home security system will silently send signals of the intrusion to a call center run by the home security company. It will also send a message to your cell phone or make a call using your telephone line to you to alert you of a possible break in. With the home security system’s silent method of alerting various parties, the intruder is not alerted but YOU are. Therefore, it will give the police and the relevant authorities enough time to act and catch the intruders in action.

In fact, the latest home security systems in the market today allow you to activate and deactivate your home security system via the Internet or through your phone. This is what I call a TOTAL convenience to home security systems.
