House for Living, <strong>Home</strong> for Life,<br />
Comfortably now and Into Old Age<br />
Carla Berezowski<br />
Leader / Owner<br />
The family home is more than<br />
just a place to live. For many<br />
people, their home is the source<br />
and location of some of their best<br />
memories. Parents remember<br />
the places that their kids took<br />
their first steps or had their<br />
picture awkwardly taken with their first date.<br />
Kids remember the games of hide-and-seek<br />
they used to play together in the backyard or<br />
the sense of accomplishment and fear they<br />
had pulling out of the driveway to head off to<br />
University or College for their first year away.<br />
It also is the safe place. The family home is a<br />
place filled with nostalgic images of laughter,<br />
tears, meals, games, sickness, and coming<br />
together in the face of adversity.<br />
With all that the family home means, it’s no<br />
wonder that majority of us strive to own one,<br />
and that nearly 90 percent of seniors don’t<br />
want to ever leave their homes. Even though<br />
the physical stresses of maintaining and<br />
maneuvering through a family home increase<br />
with age, most people who reach fifty say they<br />
want to live in their current homes throughout<br />
their retirement and beyond. Rather than being<br />
placed in a retirement facility, most people<br />
want to age in place in their family home, in the<br />
same community that they have known and<br />
felt safe in for years. This is especially true<br />
considering what 2020 brought us combined<br />
with the rising cost of living in shared facilities.<br />
Lead by Carla Berezowski, our team at Alberta<br />
Indoor Comfort know how important the home<br />
is to our clients. We work with all sorts of<br />
clients to make their homes safer and more<br />

comfortable. Our older clients hold a very<br />
special place in our hearts; they remind<br />
us of our parents. There are specific<br />
concerns that come along with aging and<br />
living alone that most companies are not<br />
aware of, or equipped to handle. Many<br />
people don’t think of their homes as<br />
dangerous places, yet as they age, things<br />
from poorly lit stairs to lose floorboards,<br />
uneven surfaces, and scalding water can<br />
significantly hurt if not taken care of.<br />
Carla is Canada’s authority and Certified<br />
Aging in Place Specialist and the only<br />
licensed CAPS trainer in the region. Our<br />
team benefits from Carla’s expertise.<br />
We instruct all members of our team in<br />
how to work with seniors and vulnerable<br />
to provide them with unique solutions<br />
to enhance their safety, security and<br />
comfort, broadly the Peace of Mind; after<br />
all, everyone has their unique perspective<br />
on risk tolerance and comfort. There is no<br />
other company like us in the Calgary and<br />
the surrounding broader region.<br />
Not only does Alberta Indoor Comfort<br />
focus on seniors, but we also help families<br />
of all ages create a safe and comfortable<br />
space. Our company supports families<br />
of all ages because each of our staff<br />
is someone with kids or aging parents;<br />
many of us are the sandwich generation,<br />
raising kids and supporting our deserving<br />
parents.We understand the specific<br />
challenges everyone faces and work with<br />
every client to develop solutions that are<br />
most appropriate to their unique lives. To<br />
clarify, Alberta Indoor Comfort is not a<br />
home care provider, it is a home services<br />
provider that looks after your home;<br />
having said that, Alberta Indoor Comfort<br />
works closely with leading home care<br />
providers and occupational therapists.<br />
we earned our clients’ trust and<br />
loyalty, supporting them with heating,<br />
cooling and air quality services. Sears<br />
departure provided us the opportunity<br />
to combine our other home services to<br />
become Alberta Indoor Comfort, which<br />
includes renovations needed to remain<br />
independent, in-home technology,<br />
plumbing and electrical services.<br />
Understanding that today’s world is more<br />
demanding and clients have less time<br />
to attend to their home, we continue to<br />
expand our trusted services for clients<br />
to rely on us for their total home needs<br />
& desires from roofs and gutters to<br />
appliance repair to basement flooring and<br />
beyond, a true single stop home services<br />
provider.<br />
Our clients’ time is precious. Why waste it<br />
screening new contractors and hoping all<br />
works out well for their families?<br />
Thankyou for your continued loyalty and<br />
confidence in our team.<br />

Indoor Air Quality <strong>Solutions</strong><br />
Sick Building Syndrome and Chronic Illness?<br />
Symptoms of poor air:<br />
• Sore or irritated eyes<br />
• Feeling of suffocation<br />
• Dry sore throat, Coughing<br />
• Fatigue, Headaches<br />
• Agitation, Anxiety<br />
• Dizziness, Sleeplessness<br />
• Psoriasis, Palpitations<br />
• Nausea, Numbness<br />
• Cold sensitivity<br />
• Backaches<br />
Growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air inside<br />
our homes can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even<br />
the largest and most industrialized cities. We spend 90% of time<br />
indoors, with elderly, chronically ill and young being at a potentially<br />
higher risk. According to US EPA, risks to health may be greater due<br />
to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. TV’s 60Minutes<br />
showed how Sick Building Syndrome badly affected EPA’s offices.<br />
Science has shown that poor IAQ leads to weight gain.<br />

Radon Safety<br />
How Concerning is Radon Gas?<br />
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, Radon gas<br />
exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.<br />
100 Bq/m3 of chronic radon exposure is a significant increased<br />
lung cancer risk. A 2017 study found that radon levels are high<br />
in one of eight homes in the Calgary area.”<br />

Air Duct Systems<br />
Maintenance, Repair, and Cleaning<br />
Are your ducts leaky? Most duct systems<br />
leak 30-40% of the air produced by your<br />
furnace or air handler (wasted energy).<br />
That’s heat and A/C that never make it to<br />
the rooms in your home where they are<br />
needed. Dust also makes your system inefficient<br />
and perhaps if you’re experiencing<br />
recurring colds you may want to disinfect<br />
your ducts. Many times, duct sealing combined<br />
with an extra register will make an<br />
uncomfortable room feel great. Our service<br />
technicians are experts in making your<br />
home comfortable.<br />

Navigating The New Normal<br />
Remember your life before 2020? That normal is gone,<br />
forever most experts agree. Many, now and looking into<br />
the future, will work and study from home; most are<br />
uncertain if the person in the store or associates at work<br />
are healthy. People have shifted to digital exchange and<br />
most, for the longer term, will withdraw to their homes.<br />
New habits take about 2 months to form, we are past that.<br />

Bathroom Safety<br />
Unintentional falls send<br />
nearly 2,000 of every age<br />
Canadians to hospital every<br />
day, of which over 400 each<br />
day require hospital admissions:<br />
• Falls and slips are a<br />
leading cause of injury for<br />
all ages,<br />
• Falls are the most common<br />
way to suffer a brain injury,<br />
• Falls are responsible for<br />
over 90% of hip fractures.<br />
• Fall and slip victims on<br />
average miss 11 days of<br />
work (14 if hospitalized).<br />
• Most falls are<br />
preventable.<br />
“We all think of cancer and<br />
heart disease and strokes<br />
as being the big problem<br />
– they are serious and you<br />
do sometimes die of them<br />
– but you also find that falls<br />
are extremely common and<br />
although they don’t usually<br />
kill you straight away, sometimes<br />
they do” - Geoff Fernie,<br />
Toronto Rehabilitation<br />
Institute.<br />
Older adults, people with medical<br />
problems and those on certain<br />
medications are at a higher risk of<br />
falling, slipping and tripping in their<br />
home resulting in broken bones or more serious injuries. The<br />
bathroom, wet and slippery, is a place where falls are more likely<br />
to happen. Making changes in your bathroom helps lower your<br />
risk of falling, keeping you safe and comfortable at home.<br />
Falls are not the only risk posed in your bathroom, hot water<br />
scalds are also common. Even just the simple task of turning the<br />
water on and off can be challenging if you are losing strength in<br />
your hands due to arthritis. Knee and/or hip issues can make the<br />
every day, simple job of using the toilet challenging.<br />
And these risks are not age-specific. You probably know just<br />
how slippery a tub can be and how easy it is for kids to fall or slide<br />
below the surface of the water, or scald themselves in hot water.<br />
Our team at Alberta Indoor Comfort is specially trained in these<br />
safety issues and has many easyto-implement<br />
solutions ready<br />
for you and your family-specific<br />
desires. Everything from non-slip<br />
surfaces to anti-scald valves to<br />
grab bars and barrier-free showers<br />
– we have the knowledge to<br />
support your specific needs.<br />

Water Filters and Softeners<br />
Good news: no one<br />
makes pipes out of lead<br />
anymore, and most municipalities<br />
in our region<br />
have no lead pipes in<br />
their water system to<br />
your property line; you<br />
are responsible inside<br />
your home and property.<br />
The not-so good news:<br />
only since 1990, the Canadian<br />
National Plumbing<br />
Code has restricted<br />
the use of lead solder in<br />
pipe joints; older homes<br />
might still have lead<br />
pipes, especially within<br />
your property. Lead<br />
in water is bad for you<br />
even in trace amounts.<br />
So are many other metals,<br />
contaminants and<br />
impurities.<br />
If your hot water is not<br />
at 60 o C, you may also<br />
be breading bugs.<br />
Depending on your<br />
liking, there is also the<br />
hard water thing, that<br />
leads to nasty calcification.<br />

Water in your home, treated by your municipally or<br />

Water Heaters & Steam Showers<br />
Correct Temperature?<br />
The Occupational Safety<br />
& Health Administration<br />
(OSHA) recommends<br />
water heaters be set to<br />
at least 60 o C (140 o F)<br />
to minimize the growth<br />
of Legionella and other<br />
microorganisms.<br />
There is no denying that we all love hot water and that<br />
we want it to flow hot until we are done. Many of us<br />
grew up using the traditional hot water tank heaters<br />
while others know tankless on-demand heaters well.<br />
Careful ! Water that<br />
is too hot is potentially<br />
more dangerous, especially<br />
for kids and seniors<br />
as it take less than<br />
two seconds to burn.<br />
Not to mention, if set too<br />
high, this can increase<br />
your bill.<br />
Yet, every house is<br />
different. The further a<br />
faucet is from the water<br />
heater, the more heat<br />
is lost, especially if your<br />
home’s pipes are not<br />
insulated, requiring you<br />
to raise the temperature.<br />
Traditional Tanked<br />
On Demand Tankless<br />
Both <strong>Solutions</strong> Are Great, yet Tankless is Better:<br />
✔ Never Runs out of Hot Water, Even with Kids!<br />
✔ Cost Savings from 30% Higher Efficiency<br />
✔ Does Not Store and Reheat Water<br />
✔ 10 Year Longer Life Expectancy<br />
✔ Improved <strong>Home</strong> Safety and NO Floods<br />
✔ Compact, Space Saving Design<br />
✔ Great for Secondary Suites Water and Heat Needs.<br />
Hard start mornings? Feel great with a Steam Shower.<br />
Confused ? We will<br />
help you with the best<br />
solution for your family’s<br />
desires and your home’s<br />
unique constraints.<br />

Carbon Monoxide ?<br />
A mother living with an incurable<br />

discovered that the mysterious<br />
illness that left her with debilitating<br />
fatigue for 10 years, turned<br />
out to be chronic carbon monoxide<br />
poisoning from her family’s<br />
home. Even worse, their CO<br />
monitor did not detect it !<br />
Regular CO Alarms when:<br />
• avg 50 PPM after 8hrs<br />
• avg 70 PPM after 1-4hrs<br />
• avg 400 PPM after 4-15min<br />
When a regular CO detector<br />
goes off, it is an emergency, ie.<br />
do something now.<br />
9 PPM max specified:<br />
CO exposure limits as defined<br />
by governments and experts<br />
(for a healthy adult):<br />
• US OSHA: 8hrs avg 50 PPM<br />

Why <strong>Home</strong>owners Should Ask For Proof Of Insurance<br />
We get this insurance question a lot so thought this was a good time to comment on why you should<br />
ask workers for proof of insurance. Asking the insurance question is very important. If a service worker<br />
does not have insurance and causes damage on a homeowner’s property, the homeowner may be on<br />
the hook to pay for it. The same is true if an uninsured worker is injured. Hired workers who do not carry<br />
insurance tend to be less responsible than those who do, so asking about coverage is also a good way<br />
to determine whether someone will be a reliable worker. It is always best to pay a little more for someone<br />
who is insured than to take the risk of hiring an uninsured worker. Avoid taking a person’s word if<br />
he or she says there is insurance. A verbal confirmation will do no good if the person is actually injured<br />
while being uninsured. Our WCB # 3727275.<br />

<strong>Home</strong>owner’s maintenance checklist<br />
Like a car, your home needs regular maintenance<br />
and occasional tune-ups to stay in tip-top shape.<br />
Fortunately, you can complete most of the following<br />
tasks yourself by following this season-by-season<br />
schedule of indoor and outdoor maintenance.<br />
Regular home maintenance is essential to ensure<br />
a safe and efficient home. It’s a good idea to set<br />
aside some money in your budget each month for<br />
home maintenance and repair. As a rule of thumb,<br />
homeowners spend between 1% and 3% of their<br />
home’s value on maintenance and repair each year.<br />
Following this maintenance checklist on a regular<br />
basis can help your home look its best, keep utility bills<br />
down and prevent more costly repairs in the future.<br />
SPRING HOME MAINTENANCE<br />
In spring, focus on freshening up your home and protecting<br />
your property against the season’s strong winds and rains.<br />
Outdoor Tasks:<br />
Clean gutters and downspouts. Learn how to maintain your<br />
gutters.<br />
Inspect roof and chimney for cracks and damage.<br />
Touch up peeling or damaged paint.<br />
Wash all windows, inside and out.<br />
Install screens on windows and doors.<br />
Clean outdoor furniture and air out cushions.<br />
Service your lawn mower.<br />
Fertilize your lawn.<br />
Indoor Tasks:<br />
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when you set<br />
clocks forward.<br />
If your basement has a sump pump, test it by dumping a<br />
large bucket of water into the basin of the sump pump.<br />
This should activate the sump pump. If it does not switch<br />
on or if it’s not pumping water, it may need to be serviced<br />
by a professional. Also, check for and remove any debris<br />
and make sure there are no leaks.<br />
Wash and change seasonal bedding.<br />
Dust blinds and vacuum curtains throughout your house.<br />
Clean kitchen and bathroom cabinets and throw away<br />
outdated food, medicine and cosmetics.<br />
Inspect attic fan to make sure there are no animal nests<br />
and test properly<br />
Have air conditioner outside professionally inspected<br />
Test whole home generator for proper function<br />
Test panel circuit breakers<br />
SUMMER HOME MAINTENANCE<br />
In summer, complete the following projects to keep your<br />
yard lush and your home cool.<br />
Outdoor Tasks:<br />
Prune trees and shrubs.<br />
Remove lint from dryer exhaust vent with a long,<br />
flexible brush.<br />
Uncover central air conditioner.<br />
Indoor Tasks:<br />
Change or clean heating, ventilating and air<br />
conditioning filters. Consult manufacturer instructions<br />
for your furnace to determine whether you need to<br />
change filters more frequently. Learn more about<br />
choosing a filter. Get information on cleaning or<br />
replacing your HVAC filters.<br />
Clean kitchen appliances inside and out, including<br />
refrigerator coils.<br />
Maintain clean drains by adding a half-cup of baking<br />
soda followed by a half-cup of white vinegar. After 10<br />
minutes, flush with boiling water.<br />
Drain or flush water heater.<br />
Test all homes GFCI receptacles<br />
Change any water filters for water quality<br />

www.AlbertaIndoorComfort.com
FALL HOME MAINTENANCE<br />
In fall, prepare your home and yard for cooler temperatures,<br />
falling leaves and more hours spent indoors.<br />
Outdoor Tasks:<br />
Clean gutters and downspouts. Make sure all drainage<br />
areas are unblocked by leaves and debris. Consider<br />
installing gutter guards to make the job a lot easier.<br />
Inspect your roof, or hire a licensed professional to<br />
examine your roof for wear and tear. If the shingles are<br />
curling, buckling or crackling, replace them. If you have<br />
a lot of damage, it’s time to replace the entire roof.<br />
Also, check the flashing around skylights, pipes and<br />
chimneys. If you have any leaks or gaps, heavy snow<br />
and ice will find its way in.<br />
Run generator and thru a test cycle.<br />
Check basement and crawl spaces for any cracks and<br />
moisture that needs to be sealed<br />
Remove hoses from spigots and drain and store<br />
indoors, coiled and flat.<br />
Store outdoor furniture and cushions.<br />
Test all outside floodlights and motion sensors.<br />
Use a screwdriver to probe the wood trim around<br />
windows, doors, railings and decks. Use caulk to fill the<br />
holes or completely replace the wood.<br />

are empty. Make sure all the water is drained from the<br />
pipes, if not; the water can freeze up and damage the<br />
pipes.<br />

WINTER HOME MAINTENANCE<br />
In winter, enjoy energy-efficient warmth and the fruits of<br />
your home-maintenance labors. Use this time of the year<br />
to thoroughly clean and care for your home’s interior while<br />
taking a few precautionary measures on the outside.<br />
Outdoor Tasks:<br />
Walk around your home’s exterior and check the crawl<br />
space vents located at the foundation. Close any that<br />
are open.<br />
Protect your central air conditioning unit with a cover.<br />
Clean and store garden tools.<br />
Move snow shovels and snow blowers to a convenient<br />
spot. Stock your ice melting compound to melt ice on<br />
walkways.<br />
Indoor Tasks:<br />
Change or clean furnace filters. Consult manufacturer<br />
instructions for your furnace to determine how<br />
frequently the filters should be replaced.<br />
Clean kitchen appliances inside and out, including<br />
refrigerator coils.<br />
Maintain clean drains by adding BioClean product.<br />
Foundation - Check for moisture and cracks that are<br />
expanding inside and outside.<br />
Chimney - Clean out the chimney to remove buildup<br />
of flammable substances. Have a professional look at<br />
your chimney every year or every other year to prevent<br />
a fire hazard during the winter months<br />
Water Heater - Drain the water heater until it is clear of<br />
sediment and refill with clean water. (This will extend<br />
the life of your water heater.)<br />
Heating and Cooling System - Change all filters.<br />
(Depending on the type of filters you use, this may<br />
need to be done as often as once a month.)<br />
Get your furnace tuned up. If a heating and cooling<br />
specialist hasn’t taken a look at your furnace in the last<br />
year it’s time to give them a call.<br />
Exhaust Fans - Clean grill and fan blades.<br />
Garbage Disposal - Flush with hot water and baking<br />
soda.<br />
Doors and Windows - Lubricate hinges and moving<br />
parts; polish metal hardware.<br />

tracks.<br />
Flooring - Shampoo carpets and wax floors.<br />
Caulking and Grout - Inspect caulking and grout around<br />
tubs, showers, and sinks and reapply if necessary.<br />
Fire Extinguishers - Check to see if they are fully<br />
charged and recharge or replace if necessary.<br />
